New Modules - States of Consciousness, Sensation and Perception
Posted December 17, 2015
We're pleased to announce the addition of two new modules to the Noba catalog - States of Consciousness & Sensation and Perception. Both of these modules have been created as the result of feedback from Intro-to-Psych instructors using Noba. While Noba already offers two modules covering Consciousness and The Unconscious as well as nine modules coverings various sub-topics of sensation and perception in greater detail, the States of Consciousness and Sensation and Perception modules are aimed at helping instructors cover the most critical concepts in these subject areas more efficiently within the time constraints of a typical Intro-to-Psych course.
Each of these new modules are supported with Instructor Manual, PowerPoint presentations and Test Bank items.
States of Consciousness
Abstract:
No matter what you’re doing--solving homework, playing a video game, simply picking out a shirt--all of your actions and decisions relate to your consciousness. But as frequently as we use it, have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What really is consciousness? In this module, we discuss the different levels of consciousness and how they can affect your behavior in a variety of situations. As well, we explore the role of consciousness in other, “altered” states like hypnosis and sleep.
Sensation and Perception
Abstract:
The topics of sensation and perception are among the oldest and most important in all of psychology. People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us. Amazingly, our senses have the ability to convert real-world information into electrical information that can be processed by the brain. The way we interpret this information-- our perceptions-- is what leads to our experiences of the world. In this module, you will learn about the biological processes of sensation and how these can be combined to create perceptions.
