Psychology Bundle – Memory, Decision-Making & False Memories (Kahneman, Loftus, Ebbinghaus)

❗ The challenge:Students believe memory works like a recording.✅ The solution:This unit shows that memory is reconstructive, fallible, and highly influenced by suggestion.🧠 What’s included✔ Misinformation Effect explained✔ Classic experiments (Loftus & Palmer, Lost-in-the-Mall)✔ Suggestion & memory distortion✔ Eyewitness testimony & legal implications✔ Real-world case studies✔ Full exam + answer key📚 Structure✔ Theory → experiments → application✔ AFB-based tasks (I–III)✔ project-based learning🎯 Learning outcomesStudents will:✔ understand how memory works✔ analyze experiments critically✔ evaluate real-world consequences

Klassenstufen: EF (10./11. Jhg.), Q1 (11./12. Jhg.)

❗ Why do people make irrational decisions?✅ This unit introduces students to one of the most influential theories in psychology and economics:👉 Human decision-making is NOT rational🧠 What’s included✔ Dual process theory (System 1 & System 2)✔ Heuristics and cognitive biases✔ Anchoring, availability, confirmation bias✔ Prospect theory & loss aversion✔ Real-world applications (marketing, finance, behavior)✔ Full exam + structured tasks📚 Structure✔ theory → application → reflection✔ AFB-based learning (I–III)✔ project-based learning🎯 Learning outcomesStudents will:✔ understand decision-making processes✔ identify cognitive biases✔ apply theory to real-world situations

Klassenstufen: EF (10./11. Jhg.), Q1 (11./12. Jhg.)

❗ Why do students forget most of what they learn?This unit answers one of the most important questions in education:👉 How learning actually works🧠 What’s included✔ Ebbinghaus & forgetting curve✔ short-term vs long-term memory✔ encoding & consolidation✔ spaced repetition✔ testing effect (active recall)✔ interference theory✔ full exam + structured tasks + project-based learning 📚 Structure✔ theory → application → experiment✔ AFB-based tasks (I–III equivalent)✔ real-world learning strategies🎯 Learning outcomesStudents will:✔ understand how memory works✔ apply effective learning strategies✔ improve their own study habits
