PSYCHOLOGY CONCEPTS 1

Designed to keep students active and engaged as they learn key content, these PowerPoint^® presentations provide succinct introductions to three key psychology topics: experimentation, learning, and memory. The presentations intersperse activities throughout the slides so that students can participate, use the new information they’ve acquired, and increase their level of understanding. Notes sections for the slides have background information, discussion questions, as well directions for the activities.

• Experimentation covers experiment design, sample size, randomization, independent and dependent variables, and control groups.
• Learning covers classical and operant conditioning, positive and negative reinforcement, Pavlov, and conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.
• Memory covers short-term and long-term memory, organizing memories, recall vs. recognition, and forgetting.
