What comes first
dibs has no class page for PSYCH 156A, in any term it holds, that it can state prerequisites from, so it cannot say what comes before it. A page read while a class still reads Tentative does not count.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
(Formerly numbered 137N.) Lecture, three hours. Conscious experience is arguably the most remarkable thing in the universe, and yet it is largely ignored because it is the background precondition for everything else in our lives and because it is difficult to study scientifically. Examination of what is known and, just as importantly, what is unknown about conscious experience. P/NP or letter grading.
