Abstract
The mirror drawing apparatus (MDA) is presented as a versatile tool for providing an experiential activity to emphasize key points and generate discussion, and it serves to introduce laboratory equipment to the classroom. Three specific applications of the MDA for general psychology, educational psychology, and recruiting are described in detail. Introductory lecture material, observed class reactions, and sample discussion topics are presented. Other potential uses for the MDA are also offered. Finally, some cautions are noted, and readers are urged not to be constrained by any equipment's designed purpose, but to seek creative applications.
