Reflecting on what you already know about psychology can help you integrate new information into your existing knowledge store.

Take your notebook or a piece of paper and reflect on what you already know about psychology and its history. Write down today’s date and try to answer some of these questions:

• When did psychology become an academic discipline or a profession?
• Which prominent psychologists or psychological theories do you know and how are these connected?
• Can you name important events, movements, or turning points in the history of psychology?

Keep your notes so you can compare them with what you will have learned by the end of this course! You can use this worksheet to help you organize this.
