Experience psychology
Experience Psychology, Second Edition, is an integrated learning system that empowers students to personally, critically, and actively experience the impact of psychology in daily life and master even the most difficult course topics. Experience Psychology, Second Edition, is about, well, experience—our own behaviors; our relationships at home and in our com¬munities, in school, and at work; and our interactions in different learning environments. Grounded in meaningful real-world contexts, Experience Psychology, Second Edition's contemporary examples, personalized author notes, and applied exercises speak directly to students, allowing them to engage with psychology and to learn verbally, visually, and experientially—by reading, seeing, and doing. The new edition continues the first edition's precedent of introducing function before dysfunction, building student understanding by looking first at typical, everyday behavior before delving into the less common—and likely less personally experienced—rare and abnormal behavior. Experience Psychology, Second Edition, places the science of psychology, and the research that helps students see the aca¬demic foundations of the discipline, at the forefront of the course.
With the learning system of Experience Psychology, Second Edition, students do not just "take" psychology but actively experience it.
Experience a Personalized Approa
How many students think they know everything about introductory psychology but strug¬gle on the first exam? LearnSmart, McGraw-Hill's adaptive learning system, pinpoints students' metacognitive abilities and limitations, identifying what they know—and, more importantly, what they don't know. Using Bloom's taxonomy and a highly sophisticated "smart" algorithm, LearnSmart creates a personalized, customized study plan that is unique to each student's demonstrated needs. With virtually no administrative overhead, instructors using LearnSmart are reporting an increase in student performance by a letter grade or more.
LearnSmart is part of McGraw-Hill's Connect Psychology, a wealth of interactive course mate¬rials for both instructors and students. Videos, interactive assessments, and simulations invite engagement and add real-world perspective to the introductory psychology course. Detailed reporting helps students and instructors gauge comprehension and retention—without adding administrative load.
Experience Psychology, Second Edition, emphasizes a personal approach as well,
with an abundance of personal pedagogical "asides" communicated directly by
author Laura King to students to guide their understanding and stimulate their
interest as they read. Some of these helpful notes highlight important terms
and concepts; others prompt students to think critically about the complex-
ities of the issues; still others encourage students to apply what they have
learned to their prior reading or to a new situation. These mini-conversations
between the author and the reader help develop students' analytical skills for
them to carry and apply well beyond their course.
