Read moreFor the second Sunday sketch, visual notes, I altered my written psychology notes about the subfields of psychology into a visual information guide. During the brainstorming process, I recognized that I could transform the abbreviation for psychology, psych, into an acronym that contains each subfield: Psychoanalysis, structuralism, cognitivism, behaviorism, and functionalism. For each subfield, I […]
