RELEVANT TOP ARTICLES (Annotated Bibliography) Haws, L. & Oppy, B. J. (2002). Classroom demonstrations of auditory perception. Teaching of Psychology, 29, 147-150. When educators include sensation and perception into their introductory psychology course, vision is more oftentimes discussed with little or no coverage of audition. In this article, the authors give four related demonstrations that allow students to experience auditory perception under different situations and can ultimately enhance the topic of perception in general. Horner, D. T. (1997). Demonstrations of color perception and the importance of contours. Teaching of Psychology, 24, 267-268. This article is a great resource for helping students to understand how one theory of color vision is not enough to explain color processing and color perception. Using visual adaptation and afterimages, the article first explains a demonstration that supports the Young-Helmholtz trichromacy theory of color vision. Changing the stimulus slightly will begin to show that the Young-Helmholtz theory cannot explain every color perception we have. In this case, the opponent processing theory may help to better explain the after image experienced. The color theories are difficult to understand but including these demonstrations allows for a more active engagement in in the concept of color perception.
