Try searching PsycINFO by following the steps outlined below. You’ll practice using some of the most common functions and be ready to search for information for your assignments.

Using the Advanced Search, search for the keyword cbt. Once taken to the mapping page, you will see a list of terms which are the prescribed labels that PsycInfo uses to tag articles.
Check the box next to the closest match, in this case Cognitive Behavior Therapy. (Hint: not sure what the blue term means/covers? Try the Scope icon on the right-hand side).
Clear the Advanced Search box and search for the phrase virtual reality. Once again, choose the term that best matches. (Note: sometimes you may want to search for your exact word rather than using the prescribed headings, simply choose the term at the very end of the list.)
Using the Search History function (located above the search box, in the top left-hand corner of the screen), combine your keywords by checking the box next to each item and using the AND button. How many results do you find?
Using the left-hand panel, refine your results to those published in the Past 5 years.
Find an interesting article from your results list and see if you can access the full-text of the the article.
Reflect on the type of information appearing in your search. How will you use this information in your assignments? How could you make your search more specific?
