  • The Relationship between Virtual (and Augmented) Reality and the Basic Principles of Psychology Introduction: Virtual (and augmented) reality (VR/AR) has become increasingly popular in various fields, including recreation, education, and health care. This technology

    Principles of Psychology
    Virtual (and augmented) reality have a number of purposes and uses for recreation such as gaming,
    education such as workplace training, and even health care such as exposure therapy for certain types
    of anxiety disorders or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). You will learn more about all of this
    throughout the course.
    For this assignment, consider how virtual (and augmented) reality relate to the basic principles of
    psychology. If you have an undergraduate intro to psychology textbook, typically any book can help.
    Look through the table of contents at the different content areas indicated (most intro books have
    nearly identical sections). Pick three topics, concepts, or theories from anywhere in the introductory
    material and talk about the connection between the basic principle and what your understanding of
    Virtuality is all about from the readings (and Discussion 1) for the week.
    If you do not have a textbook, you can access any number of open educational resources (OER) here

  • Comparing Pelvis and Bipedal Features of Genus Homo Skeletons “Comparing Bipedal Walking in Neanderthals and Homo erectus” Bipedal Walking: A Comparison between Neanderthals and Homo erectus

    Goal
    Use the modules and review resources to complete the chart on this handout comparing pelvis and other bipedal features of the chimp, human, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis skeletons. Refer to the module page for images needed for this assignment.
    Instructions
    Refer to the module page Pelvis Images for the Assignment (Genus Homo) for images and 3-D rotations of the four pelvises you need to describe and compare. You can also look at Comparing and Measuring the Pelvis (Genus Homo) Open the worksheet An111 Comparing Genus Homo pelvis shape-1.docx Download An111 Comparing Genus Homo pelvis shape-1.docx and fill out the table to compare features across the species. The rows will ask for one of the following types of answers.
    Simple descriptions and comparisons are fine for our purposes, Review:
    Present or absent: When a feature is either there or not, you can use a + for present and – for absent.
    For example, “presence of sagittal crest” can be answered + or –.
    Describe: When you are asked to describe a feature, do so with a few words or short phrase.
    For example, “shape of dental arcade” can be answered “U-shaped.”
    Compare: When you are asked to compare, you need to ask “compare to what?”
    For Example: If there are three skulls being compared, you might say X and Y are smaller than Z. Or X is smaller than Y and Y is larger than Z.
    Measure: Use the measurements you collected Measurements gathered from teaching materials at LAVC. All measurements are in millimeters

    Have you said what you wanted to say as honestly, clearly and dynamically as you can? Make changes! Then, read your essay for grammatical usage. Now you are ready to type out the final copy.
    Assignment Grounding
    All of us consciously and unconsciously act out who we are at any given moment. We perform our identities for others to see, and are usually responded to according to those “performances.” In some ways, we are all “actors” in our lives. We signal who we are through our bodies (the way we walk, stand, sit), our attitudes, our vocabularies, our voices, our clothes, etc. At times we are relatively unconscious of our presentation of self; at other times, we can be excruciatingly conscious. There are times when we’ve been in situations where we are painfully conscious of our portrayal of who we are. Think of those times you’ve applied for a job–or have asked for money from a parent–or what about the first meeting with someone special? At times like these, we are often acutely aware of the role we are playing and the “mask” we are wearing for that role. The identity we are attempting to create unconsciously or consciously can be called our persona. Persona simply refers to the kind of person an individual is perceived as being at a given moment. It is based on all verbal and nonverbal behaviors as they are seen by someone else.
    As adolescence teaches many individuals, it is possible to act out a variety of identities: one for the parent, one for the clergy, one for the best friend, one for the boy/girl friend, one for the ex- boy/girl friend… and on it goes at that age. You may remember yourself and the variety of “yous” you acted out in a number of different performances with different “audiences.” When we are acting our behaviors so that others looking and listening to us see us as having a certain sort of persona, we call that embodiment. In other words, to be successful with the presentation of self, we must embody those characteristics associated with the desired outcome.
    First significant question of the essay: What persona (identity) do you wish to create as a public speaker?
    Second significant question of the essay: What behaviors will you need to perform in order to be recognized as the person you want to be seen as for this class?
    How the essay fits into a “speech class:”
    This essay is a chance for you to explore how you want to be perceived in this course during this term. It offers you the opportunity to think about and select the kind of person you want to be seen as a public speaker. It asks you to consider some rather serious questions: What kind of public identity do you want to project throughout the semester? What elements of character and personality do you want to be recognized as having? What kind of public person do you want to be known as? In terms of a public speaker, how do you want to be seen? Because you will be making a number of public presentations before the class throughout the term, you have an opportunity to create and perform an identity. We will come to know you through your presentations in here. In other words, you have the chance to present (or perform) yourself as you wish us to see you.
    SUMMARY:
    I. The essay is to be 2-4 pages in length. It must be typewritten and double-spaced.
    II. The essay has two major questions:
    A. What persona do you wish to create as a public speaker throughout the term?
    B. What behaviors will you embody and perform to achieve that persona?
    III. The essay should be a thoughtful, honest and well written piece which engages your reader.
