“…One adjustment which can be made if necessary, rather than supplying each student with a digital scale to measure saliva weight, would be to ask students to self-report whether salivation occurred. This technique has been used by researchers in the past (e.g., Cogan & Cogan, 1984;Weinstein, 1987) as a successful, although subjecdve, technique sufficient for classroom demonstrations. However, it is recommended that the more objective technique be employed whenever possible, rather than relying on the more subjective, self-report methodology.…”

“…These have most commonly relied on self-reports of salivafion as a means of measuring whether condifioning had taken place. For example, Cogan and Cogan (1984) employed a technique that involved sfi.idents moistening the fip of the index finger and placing it in lemon powder (viz., the unconditioned stimulus). Students would then place the lemon powder on the fip of the tongue to elicit tbe unconditioned response of salivafion upon presentation of the conditioned stimulus, the instructor speaking the word "Pavlov."…”

Classical conditioning is one of the most fundamental types of learning, yet demonstrating its principles in a classroom setting can be challenging. This study introduces using PowerPoint as a new, practical technique that can be used in a classroom setting to demonstrate classical conditioning. The PowerPoint file is flexible and easy to adapt for demonstrating various aspects of classical conditioning (including higher order conditioning) in a concrete manner. Moreover, this study was designed to measure salivation in a more objective and valid way which could be used by student researchers interested in measuring salivation as a conditioned response.

A major function of instruction in psychology is to convey complex phenomena in a manner accessible to students. Instructors using well-designed teaching activities can help to make complex material accessible. We content analyzed teaching activities reported in the first 33 years of Teaching of Psychology. We identified 15 general teaching strategies in 681 teaching activity articles and coded strategies' potential impact on student development of scientific inquiry skills. We found that ToP authors have consistently used learner-centered strategies and have significantly increased their use of active evaluation strategies. We discuss implications of instructor use of the most frequently encountered strategies.

“…One of the best means of encouraging student interest in the history of psychology, while at the same time helping to put historical developments into context, is the employment of realistic demonstrations of classical experiments and research projects drawn from the past. Cogan & Cogan (1984), for example, outlined an inexpensive and easy-to-run demonstration of classical conditioning, and Caudle (1979) provided several striking but relatively simple reproductions of classic experiments from psychology's early history.…”
