Chapters 5 and 6 – Sensation and Perception

Read the following, and learn what is covered on those pages. Try outlining the information, making flashcards (if you go to , and type in Myers Ch. 5, Myers Ch. 6, you will get the vocab), and having someone call out the terms to you. Just reading the material is not sufficient.

You can earn 5 extra credit points in advance by creating a vocabulary study guide. List the word, the definition, and then write one additional sentence about the term. That sentence can be an example, a mnemonic, or just using the word in the sentence (in a way that makes sense). If you cannot think of a sentence, you can include a picture.

For my grading purposes, I do not want this in “flashcard” form, but just on paper. It should be legible, and typed is best. If your sentences match those of other people…..uh oh…that’s bad.

Turn these in the day of the test for 5 pts. No, you cannot turn them in late. No, you can not turn in part of the list.

If you want another explanation for the terms, or you want to read something that is a little simpler than our book, try:
