Do your students struggle to master the core concepts in psychology? Live!Psych is a series of over 30 interactive animations, demonstrations, and quizzes residing on our free, open access, book-specific Companion Websites for introductory psychology, and which helps students master core concepts in psychology! Take the Live!Psych virtual tour at www.prenhall.com/livepsych!

  • Focus on core concepts—Live!Psych focuses on psychology's core concepts-concepts like operant and classical conditioning, evolution and natural selection, and chemical messengers and their effects—to help your students identify, understand, and remember what's most important in psychology.

    • Students receive additional help in understanding core concepts, rather than spending valuable time on material that's not central to psychology.

  • Seamless integration with concepts in the text—Right as students are studying core concepts in the text, they're instructed to go to specific activities on the Companion Website to reinforce their understanding.

    • For ease of use and maximum pedagogical effectiveness, students know exactly when and where to get additional help with the core concepts.

  • Available on the FREE, open access Companion Website—For Wade/Tavris, Psychology 7e (www.prenhall.com/wade), Wade/Tavris, Invitation to Psychology 2e, Media and Research Update (www.prenhall.com/wade), Kassin, Psychology 4e (www.prenhall.com/kassin), Davis/Palladino, Psychology 4e (www.prenhall.com/davis), and Morris, Understanding Psychology 6e (www.prenhall.com/morris)—wherever students have an internet connection.

    • Access to Live!Psych is quick and reliable, and students don't have to tote around a CD-ROM or remember a password!
