Psych 101, explained clearly

  • Questions after every lesson
  • Taught by a psychology teacher of 20+ years

Who this is for

If any of these is you, this is what the course was built for.

  • The lecture didn't explain it

    You sat through the whole thing, took notes, and still couldn't say what the concept actually was when you got home.

  • The textbook takes too long

    Forty pages on one chapter, and you have a quiz coming up. Reading it twice hasn't made it any clearer.

  • You just need to pass

    You're not a psychology major. It's a requirement between you and your actual degree, and you'd like it to stop being a problem.

What's in the course

The intro psychology course, split into topics and lessons — from research methods and the neuron through conditioning, memory, development and disorders.

Starting targeted practice on your weakest topics

  • Every topic, in order

    The whole course is broken into topics and lessons, so you always know which part you are on and which part you have not touched.

  • You answer, you don't re-read

    Each lesson comes with questions — ordering, matching, fill the blank, multiple choice — so you find out what you actually know.

  • It comes back before you forget it

    What you get wrong returns in a few days. What you know returns later. This way you will still remember the first topics at the exam.

How it works

Learn it, practice it, remember it

The lesson explains the material. The questions after check if you actually understood. The app brings topics back just before you would forget them.

01Lessons

Every topic, explained

The course is split into topics and lessons. Each one explains the concept before it asks you anything, so you are not tested on something you never heard before.

  • Topic by topic

02Practice

Questions, not more reading

Put the three stages of memory in order. Match the term to what it does. Fill in the blank. You find out what you know by answering, which is also how the exam will ask.

  • Interactive questions
  • You see where you stand

03Repetition

The old topics come back

What you got wrong returns in a few days, what you know returns much later. So you still remember what you learned in week 3 by the time you reach week 12, and you are not relearning the whole course the night before.

  • Spaced practice
  • Nothing quietly fades

04Help

Ask when you're stuck

Ask about anything in the course and you get an answer from the course material itself, along with the lesson it came from. No weak sources, no hallucinations

What students say

“This was well explained! I am in a psychology class and my teacher makes us read these long chapters and the lectures are even dull. But this video taught me more in 15 minutes than a 2 hour lecture.”

Planning

Create your study plan

Put in the date of your exam and the course spreads itself across the weeks you have, instead of leaving all of it to the end.

  • Choosing how much of the course to include
    1

    Set the depth

    Pick how much of the course goes into the plan — all of it, or just the parts your class actually covers.

  • Setting the start date and the exam date
    2

    Set the date

    Say when the exam is. The sessions spread across the time you have left, instead of piling up at the end.

  • A day's plan: new material and review
    3

    Your plan is ready

    Each day you get a mix of new material and review, sized to what's left before the date.

How you practice

Ordering, matching, fill the blank, multiple choice, flashcards — the same idea comes back from more than one angle, so you don't just memorise the answers

Ordering the stages of a process
Matching terms to what they mean
Filling in the blanks in a definition
A multiple-choice question
A question with more than one right answer
Sorting terms into categories
Flashcards
Completing a table
Labelling a diagram
Asking the app about a question

Questions

What is this exactly?

A course inside the Voovo app. Dr. Kushner's lessons and the questions that go with them, in the order an intro psychology course teaches the material. You study on your phone.

Isn't a lot of this free on YouTube?

Yes. His channel has 162 free lessons and they're good. What the free version doesn't do is put them in an order, ask you questions, or bring a topic back three weeks later when you're about to forget it.

I'm not a psychology major. Is this still for me?

That's most of the people it's for. It doesn't assume you find psychology interesting — it assumes you have an exam.

How much time does it take?

There's no daily target. You set how often you want to study and the app sizes the sessions to fit. 15 minutes a day can do magic.

When does it open?

It's being built now. Leave your email and you'll hear the day it opens — that's the only reason we'll write.
