3For Schwerpunkt I, be able to map Es/Ich/Über-Ich dynamics, drive theory, and all psychosexual phases—including Latenz and genitale Phase—and name A-Heft-specified defenses (Projektion, Rationalisierung, Reaktionsbildung, Regression) plus Rahmenplan core defenses.
4For S1.2, train Gestaltgesetz analysis of optical materials and classic experiments (e.g. McGurk, Stroop, Simons & Chabris gorilla / inattentional blindness).
5For S4.2, connect cognitivism, priming forms, stereotype threat (Steele & Aronson), and the stereotype–prejudice–discrimination distinction with everyday and research-method examples.
6Do not study the vocational Motivation und Leistungssport Themenbereich as if it were this gA paper—keep tracks separate.
