Psych 1 - General Psychology - Lecture 2

[kittykitty42]

mah school :D

[luckOFtheIRISH9989]

Its like mind reading just below telepathy. Well no not even close but I think you might know what i mean.

[forgetfulfroggy]

It seems there's an overabundance of viewers with overactive efferent neurons

[just003]

i went to a video on psychology and saw ppl comparing their age and i thot to myself, what the fuck?

[togozzer232]

I'm 3 months old here :)

[noahRKO]

I'm 15 and want to dedicate my life to psichology, this is so interesting!

[tbeezer12]

@noahRKO you want to dedicate your life to something you cant even spell? good luck with that kid...

[noahRKO]

@tbeezer12 ye well, i'm not from country that's speaks english. But ye, i admit, i did a mistake "Psychology" :)

[biologyfreak101]

@noahRKO By all means, follow your heart, but dedicate some of your life to learning how to spell, ok? it's important when you're writing papers. Psichology, forsooth!

[noahRKO]

@biologyfreak101 Yup :D

[christpunchers]

GOTTA WATCH THE NEWS! (you're talking to 17 year olds)

[BeatsBySam]

[KnobJockeysChuckle]

@rachelsaunicorn And I'm 16, let's all state our ages!

[AForkSpoon]

@KnobJockeysChuckle fuck you all i'm 18 and i can legally watch porn and smoke cigaretts!! muahahaha!!

[nflfandean1]

Lmao

[OdoubleTO]

"K, you gotta watch the news!"

[SuperSaltyFries]

Basically if you went to Berkeley, you could miss this class and just watch it in your dorm!

[yenishsun]

@SuperSaltyFries

indeed

but you will be dropped out then

[SharmaDon890]

i love psychology but if my college lectures will be like this i am not sure i can wake up whole time!

[DJFactors]

damn i wanna know about ghost/phantom limb syndrome now :(

[bizzy4play]

The thing is you can basically learn anything online if you can keep your goals in mind. Almost all of these colleges within the top 25 are starting to support an open source ware program. This not only allows everyone access to the lectures but in turn also to online published editions of the their books, syllabus, homework, and often their labs as well. you just have to take the time to find them outside of youtube videos.these sites also allow you to join study groups.

[LOVE808s]

"When do you do what you do with your face" WIN!

[2008bscott]

This is general psyche at Berkeley? Wow, I go to Emory and it's much more intense (it explores stuff much more on the molecular level) and much more engaging because our professors don't just stand there and lecture/preach. He analyzes experiments and uses Socratic method to get the students involved. It's Dr. David Edwards(supposedly one of the harder profs. in the country), and it just seems much better than this. This person's a great lecturer but the course format sucks. Guess it's too big

[TheNewRsPlayer]

@2008bscott I agree I learned most of this in my highschool courses, Intro to psych

[2008bscott]

@TheNewRsPlayer

Emory psyche = brutality compared to most psyche depts. And then it only offers a BA (I suppose they figure that undergrads who want a BS will simply pursue a neuroscience and behavioral biology degree). The intro. series is actually 2 semesters. One being psyche 111 which is closest to AP, but with really tough exams that make AP seem simple, and 110 being psychobiology (we're one of the few schools that treats this as intro. instead of an upper/mid-level) which is tough.

[jdizzle1337]

@2008bscott

UCB is a STATE university, and this is an intro 101 course, there are probably like 60-80 kids in the lecture. This is not a 111 course at a top 25 private school, what do you have like 10-15 students in class? You would think that your high IQ would have some common sense attached to it.

Also this course has an additional 1hr discussion segment led by GSI's. People that take this course at this school are getting a good education, you are just getting a better one.

[2008bscott]

@jdizzle1337

Do you have some sense? The course is an intro at Emory too and it actually has 110 students, yet the prof. knows the names and uses socratic method. Two of the organic chem. sections here are the same. They are the most difficult sections here, the size is large, and the prof. still knows names and uses Socratic Method. Emory and most top 25s are RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES LIKE BERKELEY, not LACs as you are trying to imply. Nice try to spark to UCB's defense though. UCB is top 25 too

[K7dk]

75.766 knows alot..

[shittypictures]

Really great! only a shame that this is my only income of intelligence on a university level... Because this means that i have no idea what the guy says about the things learned at school, geuss i'm just going to skip this lecture

[psx1337]

By far the most interesting subject I've found so far in all the lectures offered by this fine University on YouTube!

[bagelboy009]

i wish my psy. teacher was like this D:

[megaplayah]

09:19

[MrRuneVideoScape]

@megaplayah ?

[megaplayah]

@MrRuneVideoScape just to remember where i was

[blondieo80]

listened to the whole course for stage 1, now i'm back to refresh it lol

[LetsGetEthereal]

Very cool postings. Thanks for the Blue Light education! ;)

[HALTMADIEKLAPPETUSSE]

the name of the textbook?? which textbook do you guys use?

[kity19kat]

You know, i learn a lot more from reading comments on this video, than from a psychology textbook! Thanks all who contributed to writing comments...

[karenmacful]

Thank you



[nguyencao89]

what is the name of this course's textbook?

[babyclearnhack89]

@nguyencao89

Psychology the science of mind and behavior 

[babyclearnhack89]

@nguyencao89

Psychology the science of mind and behavior

[babyclearnhack89]

@nguyencao89

" psychology the science of mind and behavior "

[Josh111485]

@nguyencao89 Psychology by Henry Gleitman (7th Edition)

[poltirado]

Where can I download the presentation

[rscott932]

He keeps my attention while my present professor loses my want to learn.

[fati7134]

in which video does he get into the brainstem part of the central nervous system?

[FringeHedonist]

We are only uncivilized barbarians then if we cannot repair nervous system damage.

[AEVautomatic]

why should the vegas nerve be located there instead of any other random point?

[shredmunga]

i agree very generous

[Bgrazier]

NO I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU!

[mikeyman211]

I'm surprised by two things with these lectures. 1) They're in 4:3 and the audio sync is out.

[prettycountrygirl2]

Thanks so much for posting these videos. Much appreciated. I hope to return to college soon and major in psychology. Can't wait to begin counseling and doing research. 5-30-2010

[rebachick94]

This guy knows his stuff, but my Psychology teacher is a lot more interesting to listen to.

[scootigger]

"you gotta watch the news" lol!

[sablediable]

Liking these lectures, very helpful of the college to let people learn and share knowledge.

[2009arunee]

Thank you UCBerkeley for these useful lectures. It really helps me to update my knowledge.

[DerMazel]

this is absolutely gorgeous!

[sincapinca]

it is great...It helps so to learn for exam, thank you....

[lost616]

this is very useful. thanks for letting me 'sample' psychology before i take a course.

[SWEETAgirl20]

aw! I love you ! UCBerkely!!! You're now my new and favorite channe. Love yah!

[woah455]

Yeah why are these just out there for everyone to see? That's really cool of Berkeley. Maybe they're doing like a preview of what it is going to their school so more people go. =)

[jpenneyatyahoodotcom]

Maybe you're kidding...but in case not...you paid for this course in your taxes...it should be free for everyone as should all state universities...

[woah455]

What if I'm not in the US? Then what?

[adamw12]

then you should be happy becasue the US is a big pile of horse shit!

[woah455]

Well then, since you're in the US, get out of here ASAP so you don't absorb the horse shit smell.

[SigloVIENT]

I thoroughly enjoyed the lecture, although I might add it was a little slow & yeah, I don't think anyone should be afraid to agree that he could use a few tips on how to teach. After all, teaching psychology you must think about how the way you present your product will effect your audience & how well they will understand & contain what your purpose is. I mean all through out school since about the 7th grade when I first became interested in psychology I would watch & study my teachers

[chimichangadeadpool]

Very helpful in my quest to become like Hannibal Lecter.

[kiminokami]

Why do you want to be like Hannibal Lecter?

[dynehgre]

these help me to understand whats my course is ahahaha ... ilove beig a psychology students

[peacewillcomesoon]

you should be an english student.

[Rioghan83]

No way... this guy is awful... check out the Yale Psyche lectures, much more enjoyable.

[Apink420]

i love learning this stuff

[MclovinRivera]

i like these lectures. who needs to pay for college when you can learn whatever you want online

[bushidowarlord]

Nobody's going to hire you after watching these Youtube videos. You need a diploma...

[PolitcalIslam]

@bushidowarlord That doesn't mean that the videos aren't cüte.

[Oilasor925]

True but it could be like on Good Will Hunting he was smarter than that guy at the bar but who has the degree and whos going to be able to get a job because they have proof of their knowledge

[wakeupfist]

@MclovinRivera

Yeah but this is merely auditing. It won't get us a degree. :D

[downsideupgoesgroar]

@MclovinRivera yes, but no one will believe you that you know this stuff because now a days paper tells what you are and what you're not

[offthehook2]

@downsideupgoesgroar Nop. That's the TRUTH of someone else, you believed. The brain washing of the education system.

I know one guy in Austrialia, makes 250,000 as a physchologists and helps fortune companies. He has no degree, no paper. What he does have?

He put his knowledge to the test, that's what he has. Big difference.

[downsideupgoesgroar]

@offthehook2 is it even possible to become a psychologist without a paper?

and thanks for a reply, that's interesting. really. never heard about anyone getting so far without a paper.

[offthehook2]

@downsideupgoesgroar Yes, me too. I was surprised until I traveled and it opened my eyes of my own truths.

When I saw it happen again, and again, I began to question a lot on where my truths, belief, on paper and other things, came from.

I'm just saying, there are not only one way and to have open mind - we may find geniuses amongst us who have no paper.

But I didn't mean to make it sound tlike I'm talking down on anyone.

If it sounded that way, then my apologies to everyone.

[downsideupgoesgroar]

@offthehook2 no, it didn't sound that way.

once again, I'm very happy that you replied on my comment because, I never knew it is possible. I thought now a days paper is what tells who you are. Mostly it is so, but... Now I have more spirit inside me to kick for knowledge in it's most pure way. thank you.

[offthehook2]

@downsideupgoesgroar Thanks. Great.

I forgot to mention, may be of some help. I asked those who succeeded without the normal route of education...

The reply was mostly same, "I found someone who majored in this. Doing it, had their own work. And hassled them to learn from them. To be around them, to see their work, to associate....

So from them, it was mentorship. Finding someone they respected, skilled, helping, watching, observing, in the field. Mentorship is very powerful method.

[downsideupgoesgroar]

@offthehook2 yes, i see. it's all about connections and people.

[theghoulnerd]

@MclovinRivera its so you can get a spiffy peice of paper that says "YOU SMART GO AND F*CK YOUR SELF WE GOT YOUR MONEY".

[HALTMADIEKLAPPETUSSE]

@MclovinRivera  but you dont get a degree!!

[SQuiRR3LM0nk3y]

@MclovinRivera People go to college to get experience in a field and interact with others. Knowledge means nothing when you don't know how to apply it.

[GmoUnit]

@SQuiRR3LM0nk3y application is the fruit of all knowledge :)

[heavyrain24]

@MclovinRivera youtube don't give out degrees for watching their video

[jdizzle1337]

@MclovinRivera

Yea these lectures are very nice, but thats only part of the learning process. You read the textbook, then listen to the lecture and take notes, then participate in discussion section, then study review, then get tested, while also completing the research/lab type assignments. All of the repeated coverage of the material from different angles and senses is what actually solidifies the learning, its not just listening to the lecture.

And most jobs only care about your diploma.

[alexnik1985]

@MclovinRivera Not really. This is not enough to learn. Especially to somebody like me who mostly learns/ understands by practice and not so much by theory. A college provides you w/ the opportunity to discuss these things w/ other people and to perform actual practical tests which is very valueable. It allows you to connect to the subject at matter at a much greater depth.

[Valeefrocio]

@MclovinRivera (Sshhh...they might hear you..) "With neat lectures like this, I would definitely go to Berkeley!! I wish all unis would do this...

[HALTMADIEKLAPPETUSSE]

@MclovinRivera but you will not get a certificate or something like that! -.-

[musichopper]

We all know why barney the dinosaur voice dude learned about this shit don't we....

[dmpaya]

I think its more of a Ernie... "Hello Bert".

Nonetheless, its still very helpful to see what other universities are teaching in lectures.

[dmpaya]

AN Ernie, I should say.

[xx1Alex1xx]

It's neat how the college puts their lectures up for the entire internet to view. It's pretty generous.

[kity19kat]

@xx1Alex1xx Some other colleges, like MIT, do the same thing.. For example, on the weekends, I like to watch MIT's computer science lectures.. But yeh, it's pretty considerate, what they do..

[Ilovelucy14]

@xx1Alex1xx Not just generous, it goes to show which universities genuinely value learning, whether people are benefitting them economically or not.

[masterkaran4u]

@xx1Alex1xx

Its a novel thought , and only by this we can create intelligent humans .

[VanessaRRC]

This is well on point, but he bores me to tears. =P But every professor fits dif people.

[bdeaner]

This guy doesn't know how to teach. At any typical college level class, he would have lost the attention of 90% of the class 15 minutes into the lecture.

[kity19kat]

@bdeaner I agree, but I am forcing myself to learn the information anyways because i need it..

[notetoselfimissyouxx]

I'm really exited to start learning Psychology on Monday :)

[kiminokami]

How excited are you still?

[notetoselfimissyouxx]

after 3 months... i hate it hahaha

[kiminokami]

Why?

[notetoselfimissyouxx]

Well, the course im on, is strange, i was doing social psychology (milgram, piliavin et al & reicher and haslam) and i loved that but now we're doing psychological investigations (independant measures design etc) and i hate that, cant wait to move on to core studies again

[OneRiddum]

8:03 hahah gHaNglEEEyia

[EMGoudsmit]

Great information for a veteran psychologist wishing to keep up to date with the latest thinking.

[5t4ytru3]

ur gay

[Torcika]

and what's the latest news in psychology?

[apollo861]

gleitman. latest edition i guess.

[WhizKid767]

If the students used a textbook, what textbook did they use?

[liverpoolFCG]

where are these lectures from, anyone?

[justAnotherINTJ]

.... seriously? university of cali Berkley

[twiistaaa]

if you can't figure that out, then i don't think these lectures are for you.

[liverpoolFCG]

hey iam completely new to the psychology field. ganna start my Bsc this year. so please give second thoughts before you post a comment.

[kiminokami]

What you know already about psychology that brought you interested in the field?

[glo85ria]

UC Berkley :)

[OTEP1234567891011]

what the hell is it with you? i think you are mentally ill. you obviously have no life.

[photo986]

Did you know that in the late 1950's the CIA had a secret brainwashing program called MKUltra. They finance a Dr Cameron in montreal to carry it out he used LSD Massive electric shocks and weeks of sleep as a brainwash tape played it was horrific I am telling my story on You Tube called youkilledyourmother

[chubbydwk331]

dang, I have final today...

[joyfulvulture]

hermeneutics? suggesting associations? 90% of the knowledge in psychology is based on statistics you clueless halfwit, and if you're gonna deny the validity of a MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE then i'm afraid you're a complete idiot.

"Perhaps this is why psychologists and students of psychologists have lower intelligence quotients"

hi, i'm a graduate psychology student and my program is harder to get into than med. i have an IQ of 147 and dont feel much smarter than my classmates. next.

[TogetherinParis]

Statistical analyses describe, they do not explain.

"Discussing brain function" and asserting a biological basis for psychology is not q.e.d. I cannot help you if you persist in your notion. Now, you can easily see for yourselves what I mean. You can cure criminal behavior, drug addiction, and sexual perversion with 150 mg of adult male facial skin surface lipids, the sheen on your face (if you are a man). That's testable. Do it and you will help someone. Nicholson.

[joyfulvulture]

"You can cure criminal behavior, drug addiction, and sexual perversion with 150 mg of adult male facial skin surface lipids"

lol...

1. please explain why the vast majority of mental disorders are better cured by psychotherapies rather than meds, if its such a bullshit science. until you can do that, you will be dismissed as a clueless idiot.

2. i find it extremely ironic you talk about psychology being a religion when you're totally, and i mean totally caught up in a single paradigm.

[live4muzix]

Maybe you should spend more time studying rather than searching up psychology lectures and saying they're stupid?

Go play with your chemistry set.

[5t4ytru3]

ur a tool...

[joyfulvulture]

lol, you suck at trolling.

go look at the profile page of a real expert: me.

[5t4ytru3]

im good at trolling! i just deleted alot of my hate comments... and some of my trolling looks as though its an actual logical argument.... lol either way im adding u as a friend..... >:)

[Slance1Himself]

How can you miss these classes?! I love psychology!

[CocoMac877]

did i miss much by not watchin the first lecture?

[Slance1Himself]

lol, no :D

[CocoMac877]

cheers, never yet been to a first lecture anything much was said:p

[kity19kat]

@CocoMac877 you didn't miss much..

[diamonds1292]

wow this is amazing. I want to go to Berkeley for psychology major for my masters and PHD ... does anyone know how much it is for a US citizen ?

[malicestrange]

the hard part is getting in, other than that you are looking around 50 grand/year

[CrackBadger52]

Fuckin hell in Ireland college never costs more than 2 grand.

[NameFrUtube]

Hey I'd love to go to school in Dublin even if they charged much more. Thats because Ireland just kicks ass.

[CabbageNews]

Yes we do :)

[PTAI1991]

these videos are actually a life saver, i have a psychology exam really soon and was totally panicking, bit less now.

[thinker6236]

thanks u so much, i've looked for books on these subject and i finally found something better the videos. . plus it's free.

[collio98man]

im pretty sure no one gives a shit

[peerLAN]

It's like saying software problems have to do only with hardware, which is very stupid.

[peerLAN]

This was a comment to another comment but for some reason it got posted on here. Anyway, psychology is similar in my view with studying how software works on a computer, so it has to be a separate and important science from biology or medicine. Software problem may appear because of hardware problems but are not limited to that.

[Oneworld87]

You could view it fairly simple: the mind is the software; the brain is the hardware. The software manipulates the hardware upon various hierarchy; low-level programming for instance would manipulate fundamental components of the system - system drivers - the subconscious mind on a low level however may well function data fundamentally; on a high level, it may function our thoughts upon the environment, etc.

[twee881]

May I quote this? =D

[photo986]

YES

[Science4life1]

What do you mean? Do you mean it isnt worth studying psychology or do you mean it is useless as a science?

[automaticAEV]

Medicine is where it's at, I study it at Oxford. <<

Ya but if i was going to do one of those feilds i would not chose the one where people soil themselves and preform surgery on rectums. Psychologists have the better job. Come on typically they just listen to people talk. Do you know how much they get paid?

[automaticAEV]

how long do you think it will take before you start to profit given the investment you have made?

[78145295]

I'm amazed by your narrow mind!!! You can't judge something you don't know...each science on her one has limits,including medicine, which is concerned only with simptoms, with human body and doesn't have knowledge about mind...when you heal people you must take in consideration mind, body and soul...because we are biopsychosocial creatures... interdisciplinary approach is the right one, but for that you need experts on each field...

[Oneworld87]

Are you a scientologist?

[GizerBaby]

does anyone know where I can get notes on this? this is Very confusing to me
