AP Psychology Unit 3 Review (60-Minute Study Session) - Mr Carter's Guides

Grab your study guide: https://mrcartersguides.com/psycholog... This AP® Psychology Unit 3 review breaks down everything you need to know for this unit. In this video, we walk through a complete AP Psych Unit 3 review covering the biological bases of behavior, diving into the neuroscience behind everything humans think, feel, and do. This AP PSY review is designed to take what can feel like an overwhelming amount of terminology and brain anatomy and turn it into a clear, organized picture you can actually use on the AP Psychology exam. We cover the most tested content in this section of AP Psychology, starting with the neuron and how neural transmission works — including the role of dendrites, axons, the myelin sheath, and the synapse. From there we move into neurotransmitters and their functions, breaking down what you need to know about dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, GABA, and more, and connecting each one to the behaviors and disorders they influence. These are exactly the kinds of details that show up repeatedly on AP exam multiple choice questions. This AP Psychology Unit 3 study guide also covers the structure and function of the brain in depth, walking through the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain and zeroing in on the specific roles of structures like the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and the lobes of the cerebral cortex. We also dig into lateralization, the split-brain research of Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga, and the methods neuroscientists use to study the brain — from EEGs and fMRIs to lesion studies. We round out the review with the nervous system and endocrine system, covering how the central and peripheral nervous systems are organized and how hormones interact with brain function to influence behavior — a connection that AP Psychology free response questions love to test. Whether you're working through your AP Psych notes section by section or doing a targeted review as part of your broader AP exam prep strategy, this video gives you everything you need to feel confident and prepared on this material.
