Interactive Psychology is designed based on psychological research about how students learn. Each chapter is comprised of brief, modular study units that cognitively “chunk” the material to help students organize, learn, and remember key concepts.
The new Active Learning Framework highlights the ways in which Interactive Psychology helps students learn more effectively. Each of the six categories represent a research-backed active learning strategy that improves retention and contributes to transparency.

“I have loved the easy to understand, relevant nature of this textbook. It breaks topics up into manageable chunks that are interspersed with engaging activities. [InQuizitive] and ZAPS are perfect ways for me to ensure that my students are understanding the content and applying that information but in a low-stress way that emphasizes learning rather than a grade.”
—Nicole Lafko Breslend, University of Vermont
“. . . The interactives are superb!”
—Birgit Koopmann-Holm, Santa Clara University
“We decided to try the Interactive Psychology book as a way to try something completely different. I was surprised by the wealth of information which allowed me to evaluate how much time students were engaged with the text—and how directly that correlated with success in the classroom. For the first time, I could tell my students with confidence (and data to back it up)—spending more time with the book is likely to improve their grades.”
—Valerie Matthews, Ohio Dominican University
