 * I WILL SURVIVE **** (the AP Psych test) **

Thought I was afraid, And was petrified, My thinking Schactered all those feelings that I had inside, But then I changed the valence of my emotions for this song I grew strong, AP psych had turned me on. So now I'm here, Ready to test, And I know Pavlov's UCR And Little Albert's UCS, Bandura and his Bobo dolls; Role-playing, Standford, Dr. Z; Milgram worked with obedience Gestalt orders what I see

Cerebellum: Balances me The limbic system's  Hippocampus aids in memory I guess we've come a long way since phrenology I've used mnemonics, Problem-solved heuristically I know that I Will earn a five I know of modes and medians, And the STM of Clive. Operate with Piaget; Reflex: fight or run away; I'll earn a five. I’ll earn a five
 * // Chorus: //**

Hey, Hey

Superego, ego, id Brain plasticity REM, alpha waves Schema, stranger anxiety And I've spent such a lot of nights Hoping someday to understand I used to sigh But now the test is nigh And so it's true Call me Freud two I know Festinger and Watson and Flashbulb memory, too. And so I feel like standing up To say to people close to me  That I'm using all my knowledge I'm no pigeon. I can see ...

// Chorus: // // Chorus // : (coda: I will survive and earn a five)
