September 14, 2022 12:30 - 23 minutes - 43.7 MBHow we feel adds much of the flavor to life’s highest—and lowest—moments. Can you think of an important moment in your life that didn’t involve strong feelings? In fact, it might be hard to recall any times when you had no feeling at all. Given how saturated human life is with feelings, and given how profoundly feelings affect us, it is not surprising that much theorizing and research has been devoted to uncovering how we can optimize our feelings, or, “emotion experiences,” as they are refe...

Your IQ -Intelligence and How it is Measured | Psych-100 | Chapter 45 | Flourish with Diane Planidin
September 13, 2022 20:23 - 26 minutes - 49.9 MBWhen you think of “smart people” you likely have an intuitive sense of the qualities that make them intelligent. Maybe you think they have a good memory, or that they can think quickly, or that they simply know a whole lot of information. Indeed, people who exhibit such qualities appear very intelligent. That said, it seems that intelligence must be more than simply knowing facts and being able to remember them. One point in favor of this argument is the idea of animal intelligence. It will ...

Contemporary theories and research recognizes that biogenetic and psychological processes of aging are complex and lifelong. Functioning in each period of life is influenced by what happened earlier and, in turn, affects subsequent change. We all age in specific social and historical contexts. Together, these multiple influences on aging make it difficult to define when middle-age or old age beg...

August 28, 2022 23:41 - 39 minutes - 73.2 MBPeople form mental concepts of categories of objects, which permit them to respond appropriately to new objects they encounter. Most concepts cannot be strictly defined but are organized around the “best” examples or prototypes, which have the properties most common in the category. Objects fall into many different categories, but there is usually a most salient one, called the basic-level category, which is at an intermediate level of specificity (e.g., chairs, rather than furniture or desk...

August 28, 2022 23:37 - 26 minutes - 49.8 MBOne of the most remarkable human capacities is to perceive and understand mental states.

This capacity develops from early beginnings in the first year of life to the adult’s fast and often ...

August 28, 2022 23:32 - 30 minutes - 56.4 MBLanguage and language use constitute a central ingredient of human psychology. Language is an essential tool that enables us to live the kind of life we do.

August 28, 2022 23:21 - 21 minutes - 39.5 MBWhen an eyewitness stands up in front of the court and describes what happened from her own perspective, this testimony can be extremely compelling—it is hard for those hearing this testimony to take it “with a grain of salt,” or otherwise adjust its power.

If you meet someone for the first time at a party, you need to encode her name (Lyn Goff) while you associate her name with her fac...

July 16, 2022 03:01 - 27 minutes - 51.8 MBWe use the term “attention“ all the time, but what processes or abilities does that concept really refer to? This module will focus on how attention allows us to select certain parts of our environment and ignore other parts, and what happens to the ignored information.

So we will also consider what happens when someone tries to do several things at once, such as driving while using electronic devices. Lear...
Is Perception really Reality?| Psych-100 | Chapter 27 | Flourish with Diane Planidin
July 16, 2022 02:36 - 19 minutes - 37.3 MBThe eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin sense the world around us, and in some cases perform preliminary information processing on the incoming data. But by and large, we do not experience sensation — we experience the outcome of perception, the total package that the brain puts together from the pieces it receives through our senses and that the brain creates for us to experience. When we look out the window at a view of the countryside, or when we look at the face of a good friend, we don’t...

July 16, 2022 02:06 - 33 minutes - 63.3 MBConsciousness is the ultimate mystery. What is it and why do we have it? These questions are difficult to answer, even though consciousness is so fundamental to our existence. Perhaps the natural world could exist largely as it is without human consciousness; but taking away consciousness would essentially take away our humanity. Psychological science has addressed questions about consciousness in part by distinguishing neurocognitive functions allied with conscious experience from those tha...

July 14, 2022 02:11 - 31 minutes - 59.2 MBThe topics of sensation and perception are among the oldest and most important in all of psychology. People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us.

The way we interpret this information– our perceptions– is what leads to our experiences of the world. In this module, you will learn about the biol...

Understanding some of the basics about psychopharmacology can help us better understand a wide range of things that interest psycholog...
