Psychology

Chapter 1 Video: Sensation and Perception Psychology The Chapter 1 video for psychology was all about sensation and perception and how our senses impact our daily lives. This is important because sensation and perception is all that we will ever know about the world. No one can know that something is happening if it is not sensed and perceived. You only know what is going on around you because it is processed by your brain.

The project itself needed to include information on Chapter 1 of Psychology with involved our senses, perception and perception errors, signal detection theory, and other topics. The video was completed through a series of work days in class. The first couple of days were spent working on the script, another few days were spent making slides for the PowerPoint, and then my partner and I recorded our respective slides at our homes where it's much quieter than at school. The biggest struggle of completing this video was trying to be the teacher of the subject. In order to effectively teach something to the audience, you REALLY need to know what you're talking about, and that was probably the most difficult part.

The DRSS quality that I used most in this project was persistence. The process of making this video took several days in class as well as recording time outside of school, and then the time to properly edit and finish the video. So, there was quite a bit to persist through. In this project, I would define persistence as doing more work than needed in order to obtain a higher-quality final product.
