Sensation & Perception- Virtual Lab. Manual- W/CD- 7th ed

by E. Bruce Goldstein

Written by Janet Proctor of Purdue University, this Lab Manual provides one-page worksheets, easy to tear, for each lab contained in the CD-ROM. Each worksheet has a brief discussion of the lab, which describes both the point of the interaction, and also gives the student any needed instruction to run the interaction. For example, "use your cursor to adjust the size of the red triangle until it appears to be the same size as the blue triangle..." Additionally, there are between one to five Results and Discussion questions that the students can turn in as homework to the teacher to be graded, or simply to insure that they have reviewed the media itself. This valuable resource will help to insure that the student gains maximum learning from working through the media. The Virtual Lab CD-ROM is found on the inside cover of this lab manual.
