Teaching students about the use of biofeedback can be a great application to any course that focuses on biological explanations for behavior
Furedy (1982) and Palladino et al. (1991) call for biofeedback to be used as a learning tool in the undergraduate classroom.
The use of biofeedback exercises can help accomplish goal #4 (Application of Psychology) and goal #9 (Personal Development) of the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major

Measurement of physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance.
Measures include: brainwaves heart function breathing muscle activity skin temperature

In psychology, it is important to recognize that behaviors, cognitions, and mental processes are influenced by biological factors. For students to understand this connection, there needs to be a way to monitor these psychophysiological responses. Stern, Ray and Quigley (2001) document several ways to measure this mind/brain/body connection.

The different kinds of instrumentation used to monitor biological functions recordings and feedback are know as modalities

Once students have physiological measures, they can then learn to control their body by using methods to change
Examples: Imagery Meditation Self-hypnosis
![Page 11: Teaching students about the use of biofeedback focuses on ...Teaching students about the use of biofeedback can be a great application to any course that focuses on biological explanations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0490987e708231d40e98cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Students write a visual list of desired changes. Examples-shyness to assertiveness, weight loss, or improvements to concentration, memory, academic, performance, health, relaxation. The key is to be specific.
Provide instructions: 1. Connection between the physiological measurers with the thing
the student wants to change (i.e., stress when a shy person has to be assertive)
2. The type of Method to bring about change (i.e., imagery, meditation, music, etc.)

Distribute a GSR Unit (Galvanic Skin Response) and GSR2 instructions manual to each student for a predetermined amount of time .
Have students experiment with different methods (i.e., Imagery, meditation, music, etc.)

How Can Biofeedback be Used in a Classroom Provide a Graph to use and leave
the option open for the student to create an alternative graph for use.
![Page 15: Teaching students about the use of biofeedback focuses on ...Teaching students about the use of biofeedback can be a great application to any course that focuses on biological explanations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0490987e708231d40e98cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Students keep a journal documenting date, time, their emotions, thoughts, responses, before & after each usage. Anything they believe is unusual, significant, interesting
Students write a scientific lab report and an informal essay about what they learned, possible changes that have occurred as a result of the biofeedback experiment, which method was the best & why, what did they learned or discovered new about themselves, has the experiment caused a new level of awareness & explain, the benefits & obstacles experienced; and how the student can apply this material to their life
