Description

Helps students become scientifically literate Psychological Science: Modeling Scientific Literacy , helps students view psychology as a practical, modern science – and gives them the tools to better understand their world. Organized around a scientific literacy model, the text's content and features encourage inquiry and prompt students to ask scientific questions about each topic. All aspects of the book – topics covered, learning objectives, quizzes, even the modular format – have been developed to help students categorize the overwhelming amount of information they encounter and to ignite their interest in psychological science. MyPsychLab is an integral part of the Krause / Corts program. Engaging activities and assessments provide a teaching and learning system that helps students hone their scientific literacy. With MyPsychLab, students can watch videos on psychological research and applications, participate in virtual classic experiments, and develop critical thinking skills through writing.
