Psychology Perception Questions lightness constancy
Above is an example of lightness constancy. Look at the checkerboard scene on the left: Which squares do you perceive to be the same? If you are like most people, your visual system creates the perception that square A and C are different, and A and B are identical, even though (and now look at the checkerboard scene on the right) they are not! Why did your brain do that? Why don’t you see what is actually on the retina?
Think about it, it happens a lot: Most times you see a coin, for example, you perceive it to be a circle. Yet think about the image that coin casts on the retina (which is the first stage of visual processing). That image is hardly ever circular and far more likely to elliptical. However, you perceive the coin to be round, just as a door is perceived to be a rectangle at all times, even though a rectangle shape is less likely on the retina than a parallelogram. In building our visual perception of the world of objects and scenes from those bottom-up signals impinging on our sensory receptors, the input is the retinal image, constantly changing as our head shifts, as we make eye movements, as we move relative to objects and scenes; however, our perceptions of color, shape, size, orientation, motion, and lightness remain constant; they do not change. It doesn’t appear as if everything is visually transmogrifying and morphing in front of our eyes, even though that is exactly what is happening on the retina. How does the brain achieve perceptual constancy, the ability to perceive the unchanging features of the world despite the ever-changing retinal image?
This week, please answer the following:
1) What is meant by perceptual constancy?
2) Choose either: size constancy, orientation constancy, shape constancy, lightness constancy, or color constancy (perceptual constancy is discussed in the lecture and the textbook. I discuss orientation constancy in the lecture. Demonstrations can be seen in Course Material and in my lecture). You might want to explore the famous “dress” controversy? Was it blue and gold or was it black and whatever!? What accounted for that? (Hint: Do some research on color constancy).
3) Describe this constancy in a paragraph. Again, you should do some research on how it is described in the field, and then armed with that information, present this information using your own words. Give evidence for it where possible.
4) What are the proposed ways that the visual brain achieves it? Again, what is the evidence?
5) What might happen to a person’s visual experiences of color, size, shape, orientation, motion, brightness, and other percepts if perceptual constancy did not occur? What would a person perceive? Can you find any evidence for this? (Note: This last part requires you do some research).
What do you feel is the best/most appropriate time and approach to begin educating individuals about human sexuality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAUDKEI4QKI
Please take some time to respond in your discussion post about the reflections and thoughts that arise for you in viewing this clip… How can we best make sense of and address the intersex experience in a biblical manner? How could we go about creating safe, loving spaces for these individuals and their experiences in our church communities–as, according to statistics, it is likely that you’ve encountered someone with this experience in your churches or even here on campus!
2) This week’s discussion topic is *drum roll*….
Sex Ed!
In light of reading through the chapter, the different developmental stages, and even the different approaches of sex ed in different cultures, please interact with the following:
What do you feel is the best/most appropriate time and approach to begin educating individuals about human sexuality? What was your experience of sex education as you grew up? Imagine yourself (or reflect on your personal experience) as someone trying to parent children within the church… what would you be concerned about (peers, media, etc.?) and how would you personally hope to approach this topic?
Impacts of Educational Programs on Recidivism Rates

Circadian Rhythm Cycle Assignment
Chapter 4 discusses the Circadian Rhythm Cycle. Perform outside research to find 2 studies that are about the Circadian Rhythm Cycle.
Explain how the studies were completed and how their findings differ from each other and the material in the book (i.e. use of stimulants to help sleep vs relying on your natural Circadian Rhythm).
This should be approximately 1 page with 3-4 paragraphs using 2 researched sources.
Be sure that you cite and reference your sources using APA.

Language and thought processes of young children
You can learn much about the language and thought processes of young children by examining the literature written for them.
If they are open and you are able to, visit the children’s section of your local library or bookstore. Otherwise, you can find children’s books on read on YouTube and a variety of other websites.
Find a children’s book that contains at least 2 examples of pre-operational thought. Examine the book carefully. Then, complete the following items. Each completed questions is worth 1 point. If you there are no examples of a particular story element in your book, state that in your
answer.
1.State the book title and author
2.Do you remember reading this book when you were a young child?
Write down at least 2 examples of any of the following story elements that appear in the book and explain how they connect to pre-operational thought.
3.rhyme and repetition in the story
4.egocentrism (e.g., animals that dress and talk like a child; misunderstandings that arise from the main character’s self-centered viewpoint)
5.centration (e.g., stories about characters who have only one prominent feature; stories about a child focusing on one special goal, trait, or
object)
6.effects that depend on literal or figurative language (e.g., jokes that come from a character’s taking things literally; misunderstandings that arise from the use of figurative language)
7.story elements that reassure the child about the strong ties of family and friendship
8.story elements that reflect the young child’s fear of separation
9.What might children learn cognitively from the story or pictures (concept development, new vocabulary, new information)?
10.What might children learn from the social component of reading this book with another person?

Project Assignment Institutional Review Board IRB
What you need to do
This week, you learned about the Institutional review board (IRB) and informed consent. Below, you will find a research proposal. For this proposal, you will evaluate it for its ethical compliance (as if you were a member on an IRB) board. You will also build upon the knowledge that you have learned so far in this class by discussing the research design.
Proposal
Kim Kardashian wants to study the impact of watching sexually suggestive/explicit television on people’s attitudes toward sex. She plans to test 7th graders because she believes they are still young enough to be highly impressionable. She will solicit volunteers to come after school. Half will be assigned to watch one hour of sexually explicit clips from a cable TV show while the other half will view an hour of clips from the same show that deal with nonsexual topics. After watching the TV shows, all participants will fill out a questionnaire about the attitudes toward sex.
Questions:
Come up with a potential hypothesis for this study.
What are the variables in this study?
What are potential moderating (alternative/confounding) variables?
As an IRB member, what additional information might you want to know about the study in order to decide whether or not it should be approved?
Who needs to give informed consent to participate in this study?
What are the benefits that might result from this research? What are the potential harms?
If you were on an IRB reviewing this proposal, what would your recommendation be?
Is deception necessary in this study? Why or why not?
Social Cognition Paper
For each of the Heuristics (availability, representativeness, and counterfactual thinking) that was discussed in Chapter 3 ( see attached scanned copy titled “social psychology chapter 3.pdf”) of the social psychology textbook ( sixth Canadian edition) by Elliot aronson, Timothy d Wilson, Beverly fehr and Robin m akert. Provide a personal example that illustrates how you have used the heuristic to make a decision or solve a problem. In which of these cases has it been helpful to rely on the heuristic?
