Psychology students from Central Sixth have been getting a great taste of university life at Staffordshire Science Centre!
Here’s what they experienced:
– a taster lecture on the significance of conspiracy theories in Psychology
– a driving simulation to analyse their reaction times
– eyewitness testimonies and the effects of leading questions and inattentional blindness
– a taster seminar on the Psychology of Creativity
– a Tower of Hanoi challenge where learners observed their nominated team members through a one-way mirror
– a virtual reality exercise walking a plank from a high-rise building to investigate the use of VR headsets as therapies to treat phobias
As if that wasn’t enough, there was also a Zombie takeover during their lunch break!
