Psychology is such a diverse field...
At grad level (or at honours level) they will assume all the background knowledge of the undergrad papers.
Without that common background I think it would be really hard to follow what is being said because there isn't a common frame of reference.
A lot of it probably won't seem of interest initially at least.
We had to do experiments with chickens and their pecking behaviour. Draw graphs. Etc.
(learning and memory experiments are typically done on animals)
We had to learn about neurons and glial cells and neuro-transmission etc.
(there is a bit of chemistry in that)
We had to learn about the emergence of abnormal psychology as a discipline within psychology (as opposed to psychiatry).
CBT was the model of emphasis.In general...
I would recomend going back.
It is stimulating
And while study is hard work
There is something satisfying about it.
It is stimulating
And IMO the best way to improve brainpower
(memory, concentration, etc)
Is to use it.
