AP Psych

Today in class we took a vocab quiz on chapter 3. We finished discussing the kinesthetic and vestibular senses, and finished up going over several different aspecsts of perception. What do you see here?

A mouse or a human face? We did a little experiment today that demonstrated that what you've seen in the past influences what you see now.

Honors Psych

Today, students took a brief quiz on the brain and did a good job. Afterwards we began chapter 3 Sensation and Perception. We discussed what our senses can and cant do as well as identifying the absolute bare minimum of energy necessary to sense it. Believe it or not, on a dark enough night you could see a single candle light from 30 miles away. We finished class with some experiments on the difference threshold-how much more light/taste/smell/weight does there have to be in order to notice that there is more of that sense.
