A two-day intensive sequence for high school students to master media literacy skills, focusing on bias detection, fact-checking, and the analysis of political narratives in the modern digital age.
A 12-lesson intensive course on reasoning and critical thinking, aligned with the 'Reasoning Skills Success' framework. This sequence covers everything from the distinction between reason and emotion to complex logical fallacies, statistical analysis, and deductive/inductive logic.
A critical exploration of behavioral psychology, focusing on the tension between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Students analyze the ethical implications of reward systems in education, technology, and society.
This sequence provides a rigorous introduction to operant conditioning for undergraduate students, focusing on the technical application of positive reinforcement. It covers the Three-Term Contingency, discrimination between consequences, operational definitions, motivational operations, and theoretical critiques.
This sequence examines the psychological and ethical limits of positive reinforcement. Students analyze the 'Overjustification Effect', the impact of rewards on creativity, and the ethics of behavioral nudging, concluding with a critical audit of real-world incentive systems.
Focusing on bottom-up reasoning, this sequence explores how researchers and policy-makers use inductive frameworks to establish probability rather than certainty. Students examine the criteria for cogency, engaging with statistical generalization, causal inference, and abductive reasoning (inference to the best explanation).
A graduate-level psychology sequence exploring the intersection of Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory with modern neuroscience (mirror neurons) and digital ecosystems (algorithms, AI, and social media). Students critically synthesize classical theory with contemporary research to propose theoretical updates for the digital age.
This workshop-style sequence explores the psychological principles of observational learning, focusing on Albert Bandura's concepts of self-efficacy and the four stages of modeling. Students transition from theoretical understanding to practical application by designing and testing instructional tutorials that optimize skill acquisition for their peers.
A high school child development lesson using a jigsaw strategy to explore Piaget's four stages of cognitive development, featuring expert research and peer-to-peer teaching.
A comprehensive look at why we remember and why we forget, covering the stages of memory, types of interference, and strategies for improving recall.
This lesson explores the Gurmat perspective on the five senses, moving from sensory bondage to spiritual mastery through the teachings found in the 'Slave to the Senses' discourse.

A comprehensive lesson introducing Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of cognitive development. Students will explore the Zone of Proximal Development, the role of Scaffolding, and the importance of the More Knowledgeable Other through collaborative activities.
An undergraduate psychology lesson exploring the cognitive mechanisms of 'choking' under pressure, focusing on Distraction Theory and Explicit Monitoring Theory. Students will analyze these theories and design an original experiment to test the effects of pressure on non-sport tasks.
