3.+Lesson+Three

Announcements:

 * == May 14 is the last day to drop Full Semester classes without receiving a "W" on your transcript. ==
 * == I'll be giving extra credit to students who participate fully on the discussion boards (Activity 5 for Lesson 3). Full participation means you post something by Wednesday, and return between Thursday and Saturday to respond to classmates--this is your opportunity to "teach each other", especially if you can't attend the class meetings live. ==
 * == Look under the Class Meeting heading- there are 2 short video clips I'd like you to watch before the meeting on Tuesday. Thanks! ==

=Lesson 3 Resources =  =Group Discussion Boards = The study group discussion board this week requires you to respond to a Scientific American article. Please post by Wednesday so you can return later in the week to respond to your classmates. Here are the articles. - =Class Meeting =
 * Chapter 4 Chapter Outline
 * Lesson 3 Study Guide
 * Field Experiment Rubric
 * Ambiguities and Perceptions
 * Paradoxical Perceptions

 Please watch these two short videos __**before the class meeting:**__ Class meeting will be Tuesday @ 7 pm Mountain Time.

 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Change blindness: a phenomenon in which a very large change can occur and still go unnoticed. This phenomenon shows us that our brain is not taking a picture. See pages 155 and 156 for this topic to be discussed in the textbook. Here are a few fun illustrations of change blindness:

 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Perceptual Set (also called priming): the readiness to detect a particular stimulus in a given context. For instance, it's why you might not be able to remember someone's name if you are used to only ever seeing them at the gym and then you see them at church. In Activity 03 for this week there is a "There's Something There" presentation where this is discussed.


 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Receptive Field: the region of the sensory surface that, when stimulated, causes a change in the firing rate of that neuron. See page 138 for this topic to be discussed in the textbook.
