On this page you'll find three varieties of interactive exercises to help you deepen your knowledge of abnormal psychology through critical exploration.

The Thinking Critically activities are designed to help you sharpen your powers of critical examination by providing you with a framework for analyzing evidence before drawing conclusions. This skill is particularly useful when examining online materials from various sources.

Netlabs interactive exercises use a variety of techniques that put you in control of your learning. Build an eye, manipulate color vision, take a personality test -- the major concepts in your text are all here and waiting for your input.

Finally, the Evaluating Research activities will help you apply your critical thinking skills to primary psychological research. They provide a framework of questions to help you examine the researcher's methods and results, and consider what they say and what still needs to be determined.
