Psychology corrections page

Under the subject Psychology change the first paragraph to the following. This was the same change as last time but isn't showing up.

Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour—how we process information and what drives our behaviour. Consider a baby mimicking her father's speech, a student studying for an exam, or an elderly person forgetting a grandchild's name—Psychology examines the function and capacity of our minds at any age and in any situation.

Under the subject Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience please add a full stop to the end of the first paragraph.

Gain an advanced understanding of how our brains produce our thoughts and behaviours. Discover how the nervous system allows us to think, feel, understand, remember, judge and solve problems.

Sorry Tymara I had the wrong link in and it means one of the changes is wrong:

1. Please change about page intro to read:

Study Psychology to understand behaviour  - how we think, feel, and act; and how those processes can go wrong. Learn how your biology and your environment interact to make you who you are.

Discover the science of human behaviour and learn how psychological scientists answer our deepest questions.

Change banner intro to:

Understand human behaviour. Study Psychology as part of a Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Arts, or choose from the postgraduate options offered by Victoria.

Change intro paragraphs to:

Study Psychology to understand behaviour  - how we think, feel, and act; and how those processes can go wrong. Learn how your biology and your environment interact to make you who you are.

Under the subject Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience change first paragraph to these two paragraphs:

Gain an advanced understanding of how our brains produce our thoughts and behaviours. Discover how the nervous system allows us to think, feel, understand, remember, judge and solve problems.

Use cutting edge research tools to study the brain in action. Learn to record neural responses or stimulate the brain to better understand how it produces behaviour.  Our school has state of the art research facilities for studying brain-behaviour relationships.

Under the subject Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience change the last paragraph to:

A Master's in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience will give you a strong foundation for further study at the PhD level. Graduates also gain employment in research and healthcare settings.

Under the subject Psychology change to:

Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour—how we process information and what drives our behaviour. Consider a baby mimicking her father's speech, a student studying for an exam, or an elderly person forgetting a grandchild's name—Psychology examines the function and capacity of our minds at any age and in any situation.

Gain insights into why people think, act and feel the way they do. Examine social behaviour, emotion, personality and motivation, and consider what leads to healthy development and what causes dysfunction.

You'll learn about perception—how we can tell red from blue or hot from cold—and discover the way we store and retrieve memories.

You'll also learn about how we define ourselves and become the people we are—looking at the role of culture, experiences, and thinking processes on how we develop.

Discover how psychological research is carried out and learn to use statistics to analyse findings in lab experiments.

Enter the fascinating world of the human mind. If you're interested in people's behaviour and enjoy both science and arts subjects, then Psychology is a good choice for you

Change the header banner intro to:

Please delete the following fact from under the Psychology Study Option

80%
The number of New Zealanders that believe humans came to be through a process of evolution. Only 50% of Americans believe this, with 40% believing God created humans. Wilson et al. 2014, Religion, Brain & Behavior, 4(2), and Gallup, 2014

Under Tadhg story under 'Great opportunities' the name of the Society needs to change to 'Victoria Students' Psychology Society'. It should read

Tadhg has taken advantage of some of the extracurricular activities while at Victoria. He has been involved in the Victoria Plus Award, was a Postgraduate Students’ Association representative on the University Research Committee from 2012 to 2014 and is a member of the Victoria Students' Psychology Society and the International Honor Society in Psychology—Psi Chi.

Under 'After you graduate' delete 'to become a psychologist' so it reads:
A degree in Psychology will help you in any job that requires an understanding of people. Your knowledge of human behaviour and skills in critical thinking and research can be applied to many fields. If you do postgraduate studies you might work in counselling, social services, human resources, corrections or education roles, or as researcher or policy analyst in government organisations.

Remove the following fact:

1 in 2

The number of New Zealanders who will hurt themselves deliberately at least once, but without suicidal intent, before they leave school. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, 2015

Change department to 'school' in following quote:

Victoria has been a great place to study and the Psychology School is particularly brilliant.
