  • Over the past three weeks, you have been learning about some significant areas of psycholog

     Over the past three weeks, you have been learning about some significant areas of psychology.  In week 4 we studied sensation and perception, week 5 introduced learning theories, and week 6 discusses developmental psychology.  As you reflect on these three areas of psychology, how might they reflect the idea that our understanding of reality and the world around us changes?  Even though our understanding of reality changes based on development, conditioning, and the processes of sensation and perception, how do we know there is something real and permanent (Think about how a Christian perspective still identifies objective truth and reality in the midst of changes)?
