The content, pedagogy and digital tools reflect the new learning outcomes and themes of the APA IPI. InQuizitive evidence-based assessment helps students build their comprehension of core concepts, while new Testmaker helps instructors create customised, outcome-driven summative assessments. A new interactive 3D brain, new interactive neuron animations and new ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs make the psychological concepts interactive and accessible for students.

Digital Teaching and Learning Tools

InQuizitive

Created by a cognitive psychologist, InQuizitive adaptive assessment is built on evidence-based principles of learning, including retrieval practice, learning by doing, and metacognitive monitoring. Personalised question sets target students’ individual areas for improvement, and formative answer-specific feedback helps them understand core concepts. Game-like elements and a variety of interactive question types with embedded videos, the new interactive 3D brain, and new interactive neuron animations maximize engagement. The Fourth Edition of InQuizitive for Psychology in Your Life features a new focus on learning science, including questions on the new IMPACT learning strategies.

Norton Enhanced eBook

The Psychology in Your Life, Fourth Edition, ebook provides an active reading experience, enabling students to watch videos, take notes, bookmark, search, highlight, and read offline. The new interactive 3D brain and interactive neuron animations are embedded in the eBook, allowing students to engage with interactives that will help them visualise the structures and functions they’re reading about. Instructors can even add notes that students can see as they are reading the text.

3D Brain and Interactive Neuron Animations

A new interactive 3D brain and new interactive neuron animations give students the opportunity to visualise and interact with difficult concepts in Ch. 2: “The Role of Biology in Psychology.” The interactive 3D brain gives students a hands-on way to explore brain structure and function. Students can rotate the brain, zoom in and out, and add or remove structures. A description box with explanations, examples, and learning check questions keeps function at the forefront. The interactive neuron animations help students master challenging processes such as action potentials and communication across neural synapses. These interactive animations move beyond traditional video animations, pausing at key points to allow students to interact with them. Support materials on the Norton Teaching Tools site help you incorporate these interactive visualisation tools in your course.

ZAPS 3.0

New ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs, included with every new copy, are brief, easy-to-use activities that invite students to actively participate in the process of psychological research and discovery. Students engage in interactive experiments on core course concepts, interpret the resulting data, learn how the concepts apply to their lives, and answer formative questions along the way.

  • Streamlined content with embedded videos
  • Embedded formative assessment and feedback
  • Enhanced data literacy content
  • Four new lab activities on developmental, clinical, and social psychology.
