This fully editable lesson on Culture as a Factor Affecting Perception introduces students to the influence of cultural background on perceptual processes and interpretation. Aligned with the AQA GCSE Psychology Specification, this resource explores how beliefs, norms, and experiences shape perception, supported by key studies such as Hudson’s (1960) research on depth cues and Deregowski’s (1972) study on perspective in images. It critically evaluates the impact of culture on perceptual set, highlighting strengths and limitations in cross-cultural research.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The slides outline the role of culture in shaping perception, emphasising perceptual set and visual cues. They introduce Hudson’s and Deregowski’s studies, encouraging students to evaluate cultural differences in interpreting visual information. Activities include analysing ambiguous images and exploring how upbringing influences interpretation.
Interactive Activities: Students engage in Think-Pair-Share tasks, defining key terms, discussing perceptual differences, and analysing cultural interpretations of visual stimuli. Application tasks include an exam-style scenario question where students evaluate how culture shapes perception using a real-world example.
Evaluation and Assessment: The lesson includes structured evaluation worksheets and exam-style questions. Students critically assess strengths and limitations of cross-cultural research, such as language barriers and outdated methods, and practise applying their knowledge through scenario-based exam questions.
