We watched a .ppt on how the brain organizes information. After discussing how the brain perceives, we then looked at numerous images that could be interpreted in at least two ways. This gave us the experience of the brain seeking to perceive and organize information.
We checked in Ch's 3 and 1. After this week, students who do not complete the entire chapter in the workbook will not be able to score 100 per cent for the chapter if they complete it the following week. Students will get half the score on the part that is not done, however, if they show it to the instructor the following week.
We did an experiential exercise where we paired up with someone we did not know (from the class). There was a five-minute discussion and we then filled out a worksheet called "I Think I Know You." Students were then able to see what led to the perception of them by their conversation partner.
In the last hour of the class, we did a worksheet that helped us differentiate internal and external attributions. We had earlier discussed attribution theory and attribution error.
Next week: Chapter 4
