Making MCAT psychology flashcards from your own notes

Strong MCAT psychology flashcards start with the material you already study. Lecture slides, your notes and the review chapters you are working through carry the terms your course emphasizes, so cards built from them target what you actually need to know.

Cover one topic per set, such as learning theory or sensory processing.
Write cards in your own words so the answer is easy to check.
Review cards shortly after making them, then let spacing take over.
Mix in short-answer cards to practice explaining concepts, not only recognizing them.

Example MCAT psychology flashcards

What is the unconditioned stimulus in Pavlov's experiment?Food, which triggers salivation with no prior learning required.

What does the Yerkes-Dodson law describe?Performance improves with arousal up to an optimal level, then declines as arousal becomes too high.

Define the just-noticeable difference.The smallest change in a stimulus that a person can detect about half the time.

What is the primacy effect?Better recall of items at the start of a list than items in the middle, because early items get more rehearsal.

What does the Stroop effect demonstrate?Slower naming when a word's meaning conflicts with its ink color, showing automatic reading interferes with controlled naming.
