Remember the
Electric Slide? Julie Carpenter takes us back to 1989 with her contribution to
the Song List. Use the Electric Slide for a Neuroscience unit. Check out the
YouTube video and lyrics here.
Demonstrations
of the serial position curve, schemas, and priming were posted to the Cognition
in the Classroom page.
A classical conditioning demo was posted to the Learning in the Classroom page.
Both page updates were courtesy of Joseph Swope via the PSYCHTEACHER listserv.
A link to the G2C Brain, the BrainView app, an
action potential animation, and the speed of neural impulse demonstration were
all posted to the Neuroscience in the Classroom page.
A big thanks goes out to Jaclyn Spivey and Martha Boenau (via the STP Facebook
Group), and Joseph Swope (via the PSYCHTEACHER listserv).
Operant conditioning can be discussed after a
demonstration of a token economy. Ideas for a demonstration are courtesy of
Joseph Swope (via the PSYCHTEACHER listserv) and available here.
Joseph Swope also
provided an echo location demonstration for the Perception in the classroom
page,
and his conformity demonstration was posted to the Social in the Classroom page.
Thanks again, Joseph!
Jeff Stowell posted a classic demonstration of Classical
Conditioning to the Classical Conditioning demos page.
Cookie Monster
learns a lesson from Tom Hiddleston in a YouTube video that was posted to the
Learning Video page.
Thanks again, Jeff!
A TED Talk on
chemical reactions and neural impulses was posted to the Neuroscience Video
page.
This find is courtesy of Steve Jones via the STP Facebook Group.
Lastly, Andy
Field explains the Central Limit Theorem through an example that includes a
population of 100,000 zombies and a discussion of how many blows to the head
will kill a zombie. Check out the Statistics video page if this approach may resonate with your students. A hat tip goes to Jessica
Hartnett for this video (via the STP Facebook Group).
