In 2009 the journal American Psychology published an article entitled, “Finding Little Albert: A Journey to John B. Watson’s Infant Laboratory”. It was a fascinating article detailing the author’s 5 year effort to identify the real identity of “Little Albert”. The evidence in favor of his conclusion that a boy named Douglas Merritte is “Albert” is very, very convincing. I found the article fascinating reading and a great example of an historical detective at work I decided it would make a great classroom or online activity and I have been working with the author - Hall Beck - for the past 8 months to break down the key steps in his investigation. The result is an activity I hope you’ll find valuable enough to try out with your class.The “Finding Little Albert” activity presents students with: information, questions, clues and hints solutions to the questions (so they can move along in class or at their own pace) photos of Albert and Douglas for comparison Douglas’ family tree the “trunk in the attic” which contained a picture of Douglas/Albert a map a census report ...as it takes students down the path of identifying Albert’s real identity.I hope students will enjoy this small taste of what’s involved in one case of fascinating historical research in Psychology.

"The Art of Crime Detection" is an interactive Web activity consisting of an introductory animation, two crime-solving scenarios, and an open-ended drawing tool. The two scenarios, the Toilet Paper Caper and Pushing Other People's Buttons, provides the student with an understanding of the differences between right brain and left brain processes, an understanding of visual images and vocabulary and their impact in providing descriptions, and understand how people look at the same situation as others but from a different perspective. The student uses the PDArtist, a PDA-type device that guides them through the process of using either side of the brain, or both sides simultaneously. Students can also use the PDArtist alone, as a creative tool for their own scenarios.

This virtual tour of a prison will give you a chance to see what happens when a man, woman or young offender is sent to prison. There are 139 prisons in England and Wales ranging from maximum security prisons to open prisons; it is worth remembering that no two prisons are the same. This means that although the tour will give users an idea of what prison is like, it wont be exactly the same in every prison. The buildings may be different, the facilities available may be different and some of the routines may be different too.
