A lively department website contains information and links to relevant sites. It is continually updated by the teacher and girls.
The department receives The Psychologist and Psychology Review.
Girls also have access to PsychINFO, an abstract database which contains abstracts of all psychological research from the 19th century to date.
There are a selection of IQ, personality and other tests available, along with tachistoscopic and dichotic listening apparatus for demonstrating psychological phenomena to classes. Realia such as these are continually being increased - recently, for example, a minidisc recording which simulates auditory hallucinations associated with schizophrenia has been constructed.
