This document provides a checklist for a student to assess their understanding of key concepts from the psychodynamic, biological, and learning approaches to psychology. The checklist includes important terms, theories, studies, and practical research methods for each approach. Students are asked to indicate whether they have covered or need to cover each subject, and to self-assess their understanding using a traffic light system.
