Revision clock activity for the brain & neuropsychology topic. Students are to include as many psychological key terms and as much detailed information as they can for each sub header in each section of the clock. They are to only allow only 5 minutes per section. Keeps students motivated through revision and students are required to summarise key information. Suggestion: print back to back on A3 paper as allows more space for students information and revision notes. Follows AQA GCSE psychology 8182: Teaching from 2017.

Lesson Point which covers the second part of 2.6 from the AQA specification 8182 what factors affect our perception? Recap activity on Bruner and Minturn’s perceptual set study (1955). Students to write down all inforamtion they can recall on the study with a 2 minute time allowance. Students pass work to the right and add any missing or additional information they can to the sheet with a 1 minute time allowance. The sheet is passed on twice and time reduced by half both times. Students asked to draw a pig and then discuss their results. Slides then provide information for culture and perceptual set and drawing task cab be linked into learning. Students then apply learning to exam question (3 marks) based on culture and perceptual set. State the emotions activity to introduce emotions and motivation and perceptual set. Slides then show information for emotion and motivation on perceptual set. Descriptive information then shown to students for the key study and students to transfer information in their own words to a key study sheet (provided). Mini task linked to research methods in between for a three minutes. Information is that shared for evaluation points for the study. Students continue to transfer the information to the key study sheet in their own words. Design your own study on motivation activity. When designed study they are required to state the aim, hypotheses and method (to link in research methods) Homework/extension choices are a possible exam question on Gilchrist and Nesberg’s perceptual set study for 9 marks or to create a revision mat on perception with required content stated. Progress grid includes the following learning outcomes: Identify, Describe, Explain, Evaluate and Apply knowledge to answer exam questions accurately.

Lesson Point which covers the latter part of 2.4 from the AQA specification 8182 Can you believe what you see? Explanations for visual illusions: Ambiguity, misinterpreted depth cues, fiction, size constancy. Examples of visual illusions: The Ponzo, the Müller-Lyer, Rubin’s vase, the Ames Room, the Kanizsa triangle and the Necker cube. Illusions slide shown on PowerPoint for studnets to discuss as a starter activity. Information provided on size constancy and students required to create their own example. Information provided on misinterpreted depth cues and image included to assist students whilst they explain what it is. Information and images provided to explain ambiguity and fiction. Images displayed on PowerPoint for The Ponzo illusion, The Necker Cube, The Kanizsa Triangle, The Muller Lyer illusion and Rubin’s vase. Students are to copy the diagrams into their exercise books and allow room around them to explain afterwards. Students then complete a table. from the PowerPoint with the visual illusion in, they are to match the visual illusions to the exlanations they learnt above.Challenge is for student to explain why each one matches with its explanation. Explanations then provided for each of the visual illusion images. Students use this information to explain in the space left earlier around their own images. 3 marks worth of apply it exam style questions. Information on visual constancies provided and the Amnes room linked. Video included to support explanation. Students should make notes on constancies and how the Amnes room works. Final activity can also be used as homework, to design a poster explaining visual illusions, challenge has an exam question linked in with the poster. Progress grid includes the following learning outcomes: Identify, Describe, Explain, Compare and Evaluate the reasons for how visual illusions work with clear explanation and examples included and Apply knowledge to answer exam questions accurately.

Lesson Point which covers the first part of 2.6 from the AQA specification 8182 what factors affect our perception? Recap activity on compare and contrast key features from Gregorys constructive theory and Gibson’s direct theory of perception. Information then provided on what perceptual set is and links expectation as a factors that affects our percepetional set. Uses the duck-rabbit example. Paired activity. Students label theirselves either A or B and follow instructions to be participates in a short version of Bruner & Minturn’s perceptual set study (1955) Descriptive information then shown to students for the key study and students to transfer information in their own words to a key study sheet (provided). Information is that shared for evaluation points for the study. Students continue to transfer the information to the key study sheet in their own words. Instructions on slide for the second mini experiment where students again follow instructions on the slides following student A and student B instructions. This experiment shows expectation through the rat man illusion. Homework is a possible exam question on Bruner & Minturn’s oerceptual set study for 9 marks. Progress grid includes the following learning outcomes: Identify, Describe, Explain, Evaluate and Apply knowledge to answer exam questions accurately.
