PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES

Preview Questions before major chapter subsections pose questions that are answered in the reading. The Chapter Review repeats and answers these same questions.

Think About It asks students to pause and think critically about a particular topic from the perspective of a psychological scientist.

The boxed In Your Life questions appear throughout each chapter in the margins to help students identify applications of the material to their own lives.

What Do You Know? appears at the end of each section so students can immediately test their understanding of the material through the first three levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.

Questions for Discussion in the end-of-chapter material support the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy through Level 5 Synthesis.

An end-of-chapter Self-Test consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions is designed to challenge students through the first four levels.

PERSON, MIND, AND BRAIN (PMB) FEATURES

PMB In Action introduces a question central to the chapter and shows how it can be understood at the combined levels of person, mind, and brain. In this chapter, readers can see how information from all three levels contributes to our understanding of Capgras syndrome, introduced in the opening vignette.
PMB Connections shows students where related topics can be found in other parts of the book. Not only does this orient students to helpful information in other chapters, it also shows them how the information they are learning fits in with the discipline as a whole, allowing them to comprehend and scaffold the material more effectively.

ENRICHMENT FEATURES
The text highlights several key topics in every chapter, including methods, culture, and new research with a series of enrichment features:

The Research Toolkit shows readers how psychology is a science built on experiments and discoveries. Among the methods highlighted is fMRI in Chapter 3.
Cultural Opportunities explores the many ways in which culture influences human behavior and how we use our brains.
This Just In points to highly significant and new research that has overturned a previous way of thinking. Chapter 3 features the 2010 discovery of a new form of neural communication. These features are not boxed and segregated as is traditional, but are integrated within the flow of the narrative, precisely where students will understand their connection to the related topic/concept.

Tracy L. Caldwell is Associate Professor of Psychology at Dominican University, where she was recently appointed a Diversity Fellow. She earned her B.A. at The College of New Jersey and her Ph.D. in personality and social psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Tracy caught the teaching bug during graduate school, when as a teaching assistant for a large section of introductory psychology, she led several smaller discussion sections. In her post as visiting faculty at North Central College, she had the opportunity to teach smaller sections of introductory psychology and to develop her pedagogical skills.

In addition to teaching introductory psychology, Tracy teaches personality psychology, social psychology, the psychology of gender, and research methods and statistics. She has also taught seminars in social cognition and the psychology of romantic relationships. She is the faculty advisor for Dominican University’s Psychology Club and its chapter of Psi Chi, the International Honors Society in Psychology.

Tracy has published articles on a variety of topics including how stereotypes are formed, how people with a repressive coping style process threat, and on how to best assess humor styles. She currently conducts research on the scholarship of teaching and learning, sex differences in the attractiveness of humor in romantic relationships, and on the accommodation of learning styles.
