Suggested Keywords for HE 410 Research Projects

When looking up information needed for research projects,  the selection of good "keywords" (search terms) is critical to a successful search.  Tips for selecting keywords are provided in the Library Research Guide.

Several keywords you may find useful for your HE 410 research assignment are listed below.  Please note, however, that this list is far from exhaustive:

• Learning -- Physiological Aspects
• Psychophysiology Brain -- Psychophysiology
• Mind and Body
• Mind-Body Medicine
• Healing -- Psychological Aspects
• Stress (physiological) or Stress (psychological)
• Health and Movement

A final tip on finding good sources is that when you find one item (or several) that is exactly on your topic, scan the footnotes and bibliography of those items for good leads to similar materials.
