This interactive learning exercise was created for Professor Wanda Ward PhD for use in her graduate-level Cognitive Psychology course at North Park University.
These are a representative sampling of movies created to illustrate principles in brain anatomy and psychology. They were part of the interactive version of Psychology and Life by Philip G. Zimbardo with Richard J. Gerrig (Addison-Wesley).
The first shows the parts of the brain and discusses their functions; the second illustrates transduction, the process by which sound as change in air pressure is converted to neurological impulses.
The team that used this exercise placed fifth (out of 43) in the Illinois Science Olympiad competition in 2008.
