Thank you for allowing everyone to listen to your lectures, it helps a lot when taking online courses that only use books 👍

23:00 In this experiment, suppose we had a brain (this is probably not how it works) where when we remember, the whole set of remembered data is recalled as a chunk and what matters for loading time is the size of the chunk. Then suppose the step of recalling information is extremely slow compared to the work of comparing digits. Or that there is some other processing step that is always performed for all the digits. Like turning them inte some abstract representation or something like that. Then the experiment might yield results for reaction time that scale with sequence length, regardless of what the comparison algorithm is. That’s an extreme example. It might not be an issue at all. Or maybe careful experimental design could tease out different components of the process even when they have very different time scales. My point is just that there may be a great deal of care needed when drawing conclusions.

great lectures ! Appreciations from an econ PhD student!

Thanks for the brilliant lecture sir. But is there any way that I can download your lecture slides?

Very useful!!

Please describe short

Leacter is tooo long

wuw u sir

Love u prof. Thank you for this.

Thank you Professor Paul for your informative lecture.

Thank you Sir for this beneficial class.

very helpful lectures:)

Sir John Paul Minda, your book is what we use for the course Psychology of Thinking. I am going to take this course in the Spring semester. Thank you so much for uploading your lectures. This is gold! Super grateful.

Thank you so much!

Hi Paul, in this lecture you mentioned a textbook, is it available for non-students? Where/how? Would be happy to read it along with your amazing lecture. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing

When is the next lecture please, Dr.am one of your students from uganda

Am just enjoying the lecture, thanks alot

Comedic gold at 4:26

Interesting studies!

Great class. Thanks for sharing

When we are thinking about life events and emotions come up, is it focused or unfocused?

When you will upload next lecture i am wating teacher ? Thank you

Thank you so much for your efforts ❤

I really enjoy all the classes. Thank you for uploading all the series of classes.

49:00 No, and neither has my dog. Even my dog knows that a big dog and a tiny dog are dogs from a mile away and without smelling. This theory is dead wrong, so no, I don't struggle with seeing some dogs as dogs because the concept of dog is not held by a prototype image.

44:50 Defining Game: First, what is a definition? "A definition is a statement that identifies the nature of the units subsumed under a concept. It is often said that definitions state the meaning of words. This is true, but it is not exact. A word is merely a visual-auditory symbol used to represent a concept; a word has no meaning other than that of the concept it symbolizes, and the meaning of a concept consists of its units. It is not words, but concepts that man defines-by specifying their referents. The purpose of a definition is to distinguish a concept from all other concepts and thus to keep its units differentiated from all other existents. Since the definition of a concept is formulated in terms of other concepts, it enables man, not only to identify and retain a concept, but also to establish the relationships, the hierarchy, the integration of all his concepts and thus the integration of his knowledge. Definitions preserve, not the chronological order in which a given man may have learned concepts, but the logical order of their hierarchical interdependence. With certain significant exceptions, every concept can be defined and communicated in terms of other concepts. The exceptions are concepts referring to sensations, and metaphysical axioms... "The rules of correct definition are derived from the process of concept-formation. The units of a concept were differentiated-by means of a distinguishing characteristic(s)-from other existents possessing a commensurable characteristic, a Conceptual Common Denominator. A definition follows the same principle: it specifies the distinguishing characteristic(s) of the units, and indicates the category of existents from which they were differentiated. The distinguishing characteristic(s) of the units becomes the differentia of the concept’s definition; the existents possessing a Conceptual Common Denominator become the genus. Thus a definition complies with the two essential functions of consciousness: differentiation and integration. The differentia isolates the units of a concept from all other existents; the genus indicates their connection to a wider group of existents. For instance, in the definition of table (“An item of furniture, consisting of a flat, level surface and supports, intended to support other, smaller objects”), the specified shape is the differentia, which distinguishes tables from the other entities belonging to the same genus: furniture. In the definition of man (“A rational animal”), “rational” is the differentia, “animal” is the genus... "A definition must identify the nature of the units, i.e., the essential characteristics without which the units would not be the kind of existents they are." Ayn Rand, Definitions, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, 40-43 Game: : a (man-made) physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other. Essential genus: a man-made physical or mental activity. Essential differentia: competition What makes a soccer game and a trivia game both games? They are activities which involve competition, i.e., a game. Game is really really easy to define if you hold that man perceives entities and has the ability to abstract by means of measurement omission

41:30 There is no actual concept which is based only on a definition (except for magically words like God). Even and Odd numbers are perceptual. A even number of things is one in which you can divide the objects into groups and no loner is remaining, an odd number is when grouping leaves an odd man out. We made those words to talk about this thing we see.

Calling entities "basic" is silly. Perception perceives entities, and those entities are where we get abstractions which can be used to find genus and differentia. Philosophically this lecture is lacking

So if cognitive psychology is about head then my girl gave me lot of cognitive psychology at night

Amazing lecture. Ty sm

Best teacher...keep teaching

brilliant, thanks !!!

Thank you!

I was reading papers by Eleanor Rosh recently and being a non-native speaker it was a bit difficult to follow. But your video has brought a lot of clarity. Thank you for that. 👍🙏👍 Unfortunately though, your drawing pen is not visible in the video.

Awesome decision-making on avoiding angry geese on the way to the lecture.

Very helpful. 👍👍👍
