The groupings just help their computer prioritize credits. For the Psych degree it will automatically fill itself in as long as you take 18SH of upper level courses. You should see the first group is enough to reach the 18SH needed (if the section above was all upper level) and the rest is to fill in the gap. If your credits from the section above weren't all upper level then you should have upper level credits overflowing into group two as a means to reach 18SH.
The easy answer is that once you take 18SH of upper level credits somewhere in your area of study the rest will fill in with your lower level credits.
In some of the other degrees (like mine in COMM) they have more groups to help in the limitation of course types (my degree has a cap of 6SH of journalism courses and creates a group three for that).
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
