The site useful for both undergraduate and graduate nursing students (nursing is my specialty) studying physical assessment. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=429019 This website has an explanation of the McGurk effect as well as a demo video so that students can see for themselves how it works. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88741 This is a Collection of sites withing the mega-site "Internet Psych Lab." The various sites demonstrate different psychological phenomena. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=416217 This site allows students to participate in an experiment of categorical perception of /ba/, /da/ and /ga/, using synthetic syllables with discrete changes in the F2 transition. Very accessible and fun to do. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=423588 This interactive website allows you to adjust the facial expression of an animated head. This site is excellent for demonstrating nonverbal communication via facial expression, which can be an important part of aural rehabilitation. It can also be used to help individuals learn to read facial expressions. It was initially developed at NYU by Ken Perlin's group and modified somewhat by Do2Learn. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=475606 MACSUG visually displays the process of manual pure-tone, air-conduction audiometric testing, when used in a teaching environment where the user (individual or instructor with students) enters input that simulates the response of the patient. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422968 This site has not only 1 through 8-channel simulations of how cochlear implants sound, but also simulations of music through a cochlear implant. There are also simulations of auditory neuropathy. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422953 This site allows a student to see an audiogram and listen to speech both in quiet and in noise with the hearing loss depicted in the audiogram. Several configurations are presented, as well as cochlear distortion, recruitment, FM system and hearing aid microphone. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422963 This NIOSH site has a free download of software that allows the listener to choose from an assortment of hearing loss as well as manually set thresholds. Noise choices include an array of industrial noises as well as a generic low frequency noise. Speech choices include a male or female speaker. Paid for with your tax dollars! http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=429061 This website explains the point-light system of measuring facial movements important to lipreading. There are movies to play showing the advantages of having more or fewer light spots. Their experiments show that untrained people can read these white dots on a black background.
