Psychology at the Zoo

On Thursday 14 March the Year 12 Psychology Students went on an excursion to Perth Zoo to attend "Monkey See, Monkey Do". This 'Psychology in Action' workshop allowed students to continue their studies into Cognition by observing how Perth Zoo have applied principles of learning and techniques for modifying behaviour to the care and management of Perth Zoo's animals.

"It was really eye-opening to observe and understand how Perth Zoo have turned theory into practice" – Ashley Tan

"Learning about 'Systematic Desensitisation' with a python was amazing!" – Nan-Dewi Aye
