Sorry, forgot to post a spot to post your photo project.

similarity
closure
proximity
figure-ground
continuity

Attached is the powerpoint from today that explains the project, along with a couple websites you can use to help develop your children's story book.  You do not have to use these sites, these are just a couple options.   You can also use Google Slides if need be (although I think it would be a little more work involved).

You can submit your late work for 3rd quarter here.  Please comment on the name and date of the missing work.

You will work on a Sensation & Perception Comic Strip that demonstrates your understanding of the basic principals of sensation:  Absolute Threshold, Difference Threshold, Signal Detection Theory, Sensory Adaptation, Selective Attention.

You can create a comic strip, write a short story (w/ images), a miniplay, or a cartoon... or really any creative and artistic way of demonstrating your understanding for those principals.   Use your impaginatio, but depict the concepts in meaningful and accurate ways.   

Popular sites students have used for this in the past... "storyboardthat" or "toondoo"   -- however there are probably a bunch more options out there on the interweb.   Have fun with it.   This takes place of a quiz this week.  

REMINDER:   All missing/late work deadline is Wednesday by 3:16pm

Attached is the powerpoint with directions. 

*all group members must appear in the videos at anytime...

The challenge is to locate an advertisement that demonstrates operant conditioning either to sell their product to consumers, or just demonstrate within the ad itself.   

Create a powerpoint slide with your example of either the ad using rewards/punishments, or positive/negative reinforcements.  On the slide have the title, the advertisement example, and an explanation of how it demonstrates the component.

Part 1
Look
for an ad either in print media or commercial form


What is the brand? 
Who is the target audience?
What are they trying to sell?

CC process to sell it!
You can make up your own product or

Create your own ad to sell it and
apply the CC process
Address the 5 components in the
slide

Provide me an example of a time when you
developed a fear or another type of emotion of something that now another
stimulus elicits that same fear or emotion (or produces something similar to
it).

Create your own Classical Conditioning Experiment using a family member, friend, or pet at home.   You do not need to explain the experiment to them, just ask them to be a part of it.   You can use Pavlov's experiment chart in the packet as you guide...    This is due by Tuesday at 8am.
Set up your phone to video tape the process
Document the 5 components of CC...  (UCS, UCR, NS, CS, CR)
Explain if the acquisition occurred.

Reflect on your experiences during puberty, and consider how well prepared you were for this significant life stage. Describe the range of emotions you felt, the challenges you faced, and the support systems that were or weren't in place. How did these experiences shape your self-identity and your relationships with others? What advice would you give to someone about to embark on this journey?

What
parenting style or styles do your parents use on you?  Do you find it to be effective in raising you
as a child/adolescent?  What could work

–What are the common qualities of toys
that stimulate brain development?

You and a partner will choose the most outrageous celebrity you can think of (that we all know) past or present.  Brainstorm with your partner and create a list of some of their outrageous behaviors.  Then, explain these behaviors from the point of view of each major psychological perspective like we had demonstrated in class.  The reasoning can be as ridiculous as the behavior itself, as long as it falls in line with the perspective.  Attached is an example of one that I created using former NBA & Chicago Bulls basketball player, Dennis Rodman.  

Use the paper as your rough draft, then transfer it to SLIDES/Powerpoint.   Title page being your Outrageous Celebrity & your names... then each slide to follow is a different perspective.  Each slide, MUST have a picture of your celebrity. 

DUE FRIDAY

•Summarize your analysis and how it
compares to the interpretation of your House – Tree – Person…  
•What does your drawing say about you???   
•Is it accurate?  In which respects?  Explain

•At Home Scavenger Hunt!

•Take a walk around your house and look for items that can tell your story.   Limit your artifacts to 5 items that you
would like to share with the class, and be able to explain how these objects
represent your life stories.

•For each artifact think about how these items tell your story…

•Why are these items important to you?

•How have these items helped shape your identity?

You can bring the objects in for show and tell or take pix of them and create a power point to share with the class on Wednesday. If you're name is drawn and you are not ready you will lose 10 points.  Be ready to go on Wednesday!
