Psychology: Sensation and Perception PowerPoint

Psychology: Sensation and Perception PowerPoint with presenter notes and embedded video links is a great resource to add to your psychology curriculum. PowerPoint also includes short video clips with video questions. I have used these with my A.P. classes as well as regular psychology classes. Lecture is loaded with optical illusions and the psychology behind them. PowerPoints include 46 slides total with presenter notes to guide you through the lecture, help you to tell the whole story, and verbally assess and engage your students.
