This fully editable lesson on Visual Illusions introduces students to the fascinating ways perception can be tricked, equipping them with a deep understanding of concepts such as size constancy, depth cues, ambiguity, and fiction. Aligned with the AQA GCSE Psychology Specification, this resource delves into how visual illusions work and their implications for understanding the brain’s interpretation of sensory information.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The slides explore how visual illusions manipulate perception through phenomena like the Müller-Lyer illusion, the Ponzo illusion, ambiguous figures, and fictional shapes like the Kanizsa Triangle. Students engage with clear explanations and illustrative examples, including diagrams and links to video content. Think-Pair-Share activities challenge students to consider the psychological significance of visual illusions, such as their use in understanding neurological conditions.
Interactive Activities: The lesson starts with a Do Now activity encouraging students to reflect on the study of illusions in psychology. Hands-on tasks, such as identifying the Ponzo illusion in escalator images, allow students to apply their knowledge. Students also explore how the brain “fills in” gaps in fictional illusions and switches interpretations in ambiguous ones.
Assessment Materials: A variety of exam-style questions help students consolidate their learning, including sketching the Müller-Lyer illusion and explaining how depth cues contribute to misperceptions. Students are encouraged to discuss how illusions reveal the brain’s processes and apply their understanding to real-world contexts, such as architecture and design.
This fully editable lesson on Gregory’s Constructivist Theory of Perception introduces students to the concept of perception as an active process shaped by past experiences, knowledge, and expectations. Aligned with the AQA GCSE Psychology Specification, this resource explores Gregory’s key ideas, such as inference, visual cues, and the role of nurture in perception, while critically evaluating the theory’s strengths and limitations.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: These slides outline the main principles of Gregory’s constructivist theory, highlighting the active role of inference and visual cues in perception. Concepts such as mistaken hypotheses and visual illusions are explained using examples like the Müller-Lyer illusion and Segall et al.’s cultural research, making the material relatable and engaging for students. Interactive Think-Pair-Share activities encourage deeper discussion on the influence of past experiences on perception.
Interactive Activities: Students engage in defining key terms, answering Check-it Questions, and analysing cultural differences in perception using studies like Hudson (1960). Tasks such as interpreting ambiguous images and discussing nurture’s role in shaping perception foster critical thinking and active learning.
Evaluation and Assessment: The lesson includes exam-style questions and a structured evaluation worksheet. Students assess the theory by weighing its strengths, such as cultural evidence, and limitations, including its inability to account for innate perception. Activities such as PEE paragraphs help students articulate and structure their evaluation of the theory effectively.

This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Resistance to Social Influence through the roles of Social Support and Locus of Control. The lesson helps students understand how individuals can resist pressures to conform or obey authority figures, drawing on research and real-world examples. With interactive activities, critical evaluation, and exam practice questions, students will gain a thorough understanding of resistance to social influence.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Covers key explanations of resistance to social influence, including social support and locus of control, supported by research from Asch and Milgram. Students will learn how social support and an internal locus of control can reduce conformity and obedience in various situations.
Interactive Activities: Includes engaging tasks such as “Check-in Questions” and “Locus of Control in Action,” where students analyze case studies to identify how locus of control influences resistance to social influence. These activities encourage critical thinking and application of key concepts.
Assessment Materials: Features exam practice questions on social support and locus of control, with structured guidance on how to answer 4-mark and 8-mark questions. Model answers are provided to help students prepare effectively for their exams.
Critical Evaluation: Students critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of social support and locus of control theories, including research evidence and real-world applications. They are encouraged to explore the role of dissenting peers and the impact of personality traits on resistance, as well as consider alternative explanations like situational factors.
This resource is perfect for both classroom teaching and independent study, giving students a solid foundation in understanding how individuals resist social influence and how social and dispositional factors interact in these processes.
