22^nd of October

In previous weeks, we got into groups and had to pick between different readings and prepare them for the next week and then talk to people who read the same article as well as fill out a worksheet. I read the ‘Visual Cliff’ by Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk, which was about 36 infants between six to fourteen months to see how well they perceived depth at such a young age. I did read a little about this before so I was glad I could read the whole article as I think it was an interesting study. This week involved us going back to our original groups and discussing each of our articles with one another. Today we also got our first assignment for this module; it involves picking between two books either ‘Mans search for meaning’ by Victor E. Frankl or ‘The Lucifer Effect by ‘Philip Zimbardo. I am thinking about picking ‘The Lucifer Effect’ because I think it sounds the most interesting and I have wanted to read it before so this is a good excuse to start it now. The only thing I am worried about is getting it finished in time because I have heard it is a hard book to read and I have little time as it is, as well as being capable of analysing and evaluating the book.
