When I was little, my mind was blown when I found out adults can get the hiccups. I didn't think they COULDN'T, I just hadn't thought about it before. A different example is when I realized fire hydrants hydrate fires.
Quick observation, has anyone else noticed that Hank is doing an incredible job with Crash Course Psychology?! I'm a big history fan, but I really do look forward to these psychology lectures. His delivery and tone is perfect for this topic.
I spent several minutes on that word problem, only when he gave the answer realizing that I'm not supposed to come up with a word to combine with the other three all at once and create a compound word made up of four smaller words, I'm supposed to come up with a word that can be combined with each of the other three to create three different compound words with two words each.
Fungi have solved the problem of breaking down complex organic matter on a massive scale, necessary for the turn-over of nutrients and other molecules in ecological cycles we've depended on. Fungi also vitally assist many plants (a large majority of those we've studied) uptake of essential nutrients in root networks, in a mutualistic symbioses by fungi called mycorrhiza. It's these fungi that allowed plants to evolve from being ocean-bound to land 600 million years ago. Humans wouldn't exists without fungi. I'd say they've tried plenty. By comparison we're the lazy, careless newcomers screwing things up for everybody. :)
"If we're mindful of capacity error, and if we honor our ingenuity and intellect, I think our ability to solve any problem is nearly infinite." I do totally agree.
we use concepts, prototypes and mental sets to think and communicate. this forms the base of cognition. every individual solves problems in different ways. most popular methods are trial and error, algorithms and heuristics. fixation, the availability heuristic, fear, overconfidence, and belief perseverance. we should always be open to other perspectives and new ideas
4:42 That example of looking for a family sized sriracha was oddly specific (Hank's exclamation of the dumbness of the store employees also seemed like it was coming from his heart) Are you alright hank?😂😂
That's not what, "I think, therefore I am" means. Because we have reason to doubt the accuracy of any/all perception, the only thing we can be sure of is that we are things that think (even if everything is wrong). That was the temporary, existential conclusion of Descartes' doubt.
Yeah, it's often misunderstood. It is more readily intelligible as something SEEMS to be happening and even if everything else is an illusion, that aspect of seeming is the only thing one can be entirely sure about. I experience things, I know that for sure. As for everything else, I can't be absolutely certain.
In this episode of CrashCourse Psychology, Hank discusses thinking & communication, solving problems, creating problems, and a few ideas about what our brains are doing up there. Cognition: How Your Mind Can Amaze and Betray You - Crash Course Psychology #15
***** What do you mean "Your mind is currently making you live an illusion."? What do you mean "You live, yet you don't live like you want to."? What do you mean when you say that minds cannot differ right from wrong? If you believe you are living an illusion, how did you determine what is and is not true? If you believe the existence of GOD(s) is truth and also strange, would you say that NOT believing in GOD(s) is not-so-strange to you?
Not too much new information here, but I gotta give you an A+ for presentation. Both of you Green brothers are great at conveying a lot of information in a few minutes. Kudos to everyone involved in these productions.
So glad to see this as part of my nursing behavioural classes workshop activites, with focus on cognitive bias! Thanks for the engaging cognition crash course Hank!
Hey Hank! I absolutely love your "Crash Course' channel and use it as primary source for doing my homework for different subjects. I am a visual learner so books rarely make sense to me but I love the fact that I can use your channel to learn everything I need to know in half the time. I can go on and on to tell you how thankful I am to you and your team to think of this concepts and help thousands of visual learners to learn fast and fully understand information through graphics. I have watched every single video of 'Crash Course History' and have successfully completed my CSET (California Subject Examination for Teachers) Teaching Credential History exam without touching a course book and I am doing the same for my next exam. While I was watching this video, a thought crossed my mind is that have you thought of having your work broadcast on 'History Channel"? Along with million others, I religiously watch history channel. I thought, it would be great to watch your work as Tv series on 'History Channel'. Anyways, thank you, your brother and 'Crash Course' team for working hard for us (students) and making our lives easier and making homework fun again. Best wishes, Sunshine:)
I just want to thank you for making such entertaining, high quality, informative videos. I have watched you and your brothers videos for years and always enjoy them. Please keep posting
because of the fast pace of the video which is totally understandable since it's a crash course, I would love to see the content of the video in text formats like an article or a consolidated book of ideas
I've been thinking on heavy topics for the past few weeks and stumbled on crash course for entertainment and you guys TALKED ABOUT THESE HEAVY TOPICS! Awesome!
i am counselor for onco patients... this episode has helped to help the patients and the caregivers the HOPE to cope up with the illness, treatment and the changes happening during the various stages of treatment. especially in coping with the emotions. thanks for the information. god bless u.
The little video game version of Hank getting excited over finding the Sriacha was absolutely adorable. I live for the Crash Course animations. They're so cute!
I read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman last month. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to understand why it is that heuristics are so important and when and why they can fail.
Amazing video, rich and concise, clear, straightforward and full of good humours which makes it very easy to take in. I've just started a 3yrs BSc Hon. Degree in Psychology and I've found this video very helpful. Thanks, guys !!!! Keep up the good work. 😉👍🏾
A female being a doctor does not make sense, because the word doctor (which is Latin for "teacher") is grammatically masculine. A woman could certainly be a _doctrix_, the grammatically feminine equivalent (which also happens to sound much cooler).
Caleb Mohr The plural of _doctrix_ is _doctrices_, not _doctrixes_. It is a pretty standard 3rd declension feminine word, declined the same way as _matrix_ or _dominatrix_. Of course, the plural of _doctor_ should be _doctores_ rather than _doctors_ too.
I'm offended by the trash-talk on Flat-earthers in this episode. I'll have you know, the Flat Earth Society has members ALL around the globe. I should know, I'm a card-carrying member.
***** Dude. A joke. "Flat earth society" "Around the globe". I was making a joke, clearly, because a flat-earth believer would not believe the earth has a globe. But thanks for the paragraph.
crash course has been helping me in my college degree of Psychology - from Philo, ethics, Cognitive psych etc.. thank you.. thank you so much , as an ADHDer, it made me love my chosen course, deep dive, advance and equipped. I can say that I am not good in memorizing terms, but the concepts? Ghad I can put everything I have learned in real life situations and be able to explain it to anyone =)
you may not be able to outright refute it but you can call it into question by demanding a coherent definition of "I", including that it is to be defined by the characteristics of "thinking"(process), "am"(status of being) and continuation of existing (due to the linking of status and process) playing wannabe philosopher is fun XD
DeHerg Questions like this are why I went with a practical science degree. "It depends on what your definition of is, is." "No it doesn't. Is is is, now go away while I make things explode."
Eric Taysom well my imput wasn´t soley a play on words and definitions but rather a hint to a topic of practical science, in this case neuroscience. Consciousness is an emergent property of the process of "thinking" ie alot on nonconscious neurons exchanging information. The structure of this kollective of neurons(ie the brain) changes due to this process. So how can you say "you are because you think" when the very thing that is thinking in the beginning of that process is structurally different to the object at the end?
Thank you Hank, on point and all info and titles is on par with my 1st year psychology studies. you are a brilliant speaker and I find it very easy to listen and pay attention throughout, Keep it up!!
My AP psychology exam is tomorrow and I haven't studied at all. I made 3 different study schedules as time went by, but I can't get myself to study. I can't even keep my attention on this video. I'm gonna do horrible, but I think i'm at the point in my senior year where I just don't care.
Study without worrying about the proof, for they will never represent the true proof of life. Without worrying I think things will flow naturally. I hope everything goes well, hug !!
***** you know what? fuck off. Im not english, perfect grammar isn't always guaranteed, and i will slip back into norwegian sentence structure sometimes, but don't fucking patronize me whilst saying the internet has made communication more difficult, because thats bullshit. My english wouldn't be this good if it weren't for the internet.
Excited for the language lesson next week. I hope you get into what happens when the areas of the brain that are predominantly associated with language (wernicke's, broca's, arcuate fasciculus, etc...) are damaged. I just finished my class on Aphasia, and it is pretty interesting stuff.
Cognitive psychology is the scientific investigation of the human condition, that is, all our mental abilities- perceiving, remembering, learning, thinking and reasoning. 'Cognition' comes from 'cognoscere' which the latin word for 'to know'. Cognitive psychology studies how people acquire and apply knowledge or information. It is closely related to high interdisciplinary science and influenced by AI, computer science, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, biology, physics and neuroscience.
Love this series so much I converted it to MP3s to listen to on my iPhone while I jog. Anyone else notice the 'angry swan squawk' on the definition slides this way? (2:31 is audible if you want to hear - turn up the volume). I thought I was experiencing a new exertion-related crazy condition so getting to the bottom of the mystery was a relief!
I think that our consciousness is a network of things and ideas in our mind that we can call moral values and personal philosophies etc. (or a separate partition in our minds), and every decision we make is filtered through this executive portion and this is likely what results in many of the "illogical" decisions people make. But, after all, it's what makes us special, we are human.
The best video ever. I've learned so much about myself & more so about the people around me. The most important video (imo) in the whole series thus far. AMAZING 👍👍👍
Best Crash Course Psychology episode yet! Being a Tversky and Kahneman fangirl I might be biased though... I would have loved one entire episode of Prospect Theory even.
Woah, I felt so smart when I figured out the answer the riddle, I said "aha!" as it popped up on the screen. Might have been because he talked about fruit in the earlier segment, lemon and orange and all that.
This was really great as ive taken up a facination in cognitive psychology. Would you please do more on this subject breaking it down even more?! Now every time i have an argument with my friend i think of this, its really changed my perspective and the way i view others opinions! Please do more! ❤
hey hello, just kinda saying, the idea of 'you think therefore you are' by Decartes actually talks about consciousness being the only 'sole' evidence of existence, meaning that if everything in the world turns out to be an illusion which you can be made to doubt, including your own consciousness, this very thought and the fact that you can doubt your own consciousness is proof that you indeed have a consciousness to do the doubting. Hence you must exist. I'm not all too sure of its relation with correct or incorrect thinking but just sharing in case :)
Did you see the cartoon of the guy with a bowtie fighting the guy in glasses? The guy with the bowtie is Bill Nye the science guy and the guy in glasses is Ken Ham. Ken Ham is the president of the creation museum. Ken Ham believes in a literal interpretation of the bible. Thus, he and his followers believe that the earth is flat.
Moonbeam ham was completely off topic foot half of the debate and bill kept pointing out that there are way too many hours in creationism. Did you notice that ham says indirectly that the bible is impossible when he talks about not being able to being able to make life from a dead stick. Exodus, anyone?
***** You know, there is a direct link to the amount of Creationists who believe in unproven theories of creation, and the people who believes in unproven conspiracy theories.
pineapples are called pineapples because in the past in the early english language all fruits were just called differend kinds of apples, like oranges were called applesin. anyway pineapple look like a half fruit half pinecone or piney thing and thats why they were named pineapples, because when they started renaming them like the orange when that became a word for a colour and it wasn't just called yellowred, pineapple just didn't have a better name
Oh no! I hope whoever took Hank's fish had a guilty conscious and put it back. Or it could be Hank's evil clone from that Wheezy waiter episode. I hope I got that memory right. Great job, Hank! Psychology has always fascinated me and it's really fun to learn through crash course! :D

One of the most mind-blowing moments of my life was when I realized that "recognize" was "re-cognize."
(Yes, I am hopelessly nerdish.)
oH MY GOSH WOW
+Elizabeth Hogan Thank You!. From now I will also pronounce it the same way haha :D
Elizabeth Hogan same happened to me but with bull - dog bulldog
Mind blown, both by "recognize" and "bulldog".
WHOA
When I was little, my mind was blown when I found out adults can get the hiccups. I didn't think they COULDN'T, I just hadn't thought about it before. A different example is when I realized fire hydrants hydrate fires.
I am literally binge watching all of these to help me study for my AP Psych exam. So thank you for making this and helping me

These videos are the main reason I have survived Psychology this semester. Thank you, Hank!!
'ACCIDENTALLY choking on a dumpling' in what circumstance would you PURPOSELY choke on a dumpling?
Auto-erotic chinese dinner asphyxiation?
Very creative suicide?
to show solidarity with someone else who is choking?
Trying to prove that you can choke on a dumpling?
As a performing arts piece
"If we're mindful of capacity error, and if we honor our ingenuity and intellect, I think our ability to solve any problem is nearly infinite." I do totally agree.
"Where's my fish??" I was waiting for him to notice lol mysterious hand took it
yes the mystery hand took it
My question : Who the hell is Bernice and why does she keep coming up in your examples?? ;)
+Nidhi Sinha I keep asking the same thing
Bernice was the woman who testified wrongly because of her memory that was discussed in an earlier episode
hmmmm maybe it was only this video and the last and now youre falling subject to availability heuristic or some other concept presented
Stop
yeh who is bernice
we use concepts, prototypes and mental sets to think and communicate. this forms the base of cognition. every individual solves problems in different ways. most popular methods are trial and error, algorithms and heuristics. fixation, the availability heuristic, fear, overconfidence, and belief perseverance. we should always be open to other perspectives and new ideas
At 2:55 or so my brain instantly said "Owlbear."
Same
Is it a owlbear, a bear owl?... how do you know it’s not a sloth owl?
Mine said “slakoth” lol
Same
Same!
4:42
That example of looking for a family sized sriracha was oddly specific (Hank's exclamation of the dumbness of the store employees also seemed like it was coming from his heart)
Are you alright hank?😂😂
Nope, my dear child that is not a bird. It's an owlbear.
At least that's what I saw..
I mean thats pretty clearly an owlbear.
I say Bowel
You mean an owlkin, right?
IMO it's an owlsloth.
That's not what, "I think, therefore I am" means.

Thank-you!

Hey Hank, nice shirt.
***** What do you mean "Your mind is currently making you live an illusion."?
What do you mean "You live, yet you don't live like you want to."?
What do you mean when you say that minds cannot differ right from wrong?
If you believe you are living an illusion, how did you determine what is and is not true?
If you believe the existence of GOD(s) is truth and also strange, would you say that NOT believing in GOD(s) is not-so-strange to you?
***** you sir are 6:12
I used your CC videos to teach my A&P students during the pandemic. Now, I'm studying for the MCAT with it. You're the best HANK!! 😊
So many funny lines this episode:
"Haters gon hate."
"We have space pictures!"
"Where's my fish?"
Not too much new information here, but I gotta give you an A+ for presentation. Both of you Green brothers are great at conveying a lot of information in a few minutes. Kudos to everyone involved in these productions.
Great video, thanks !
AAAAHH! Hank! My cognitive psychology professor is assigning us crash course videos every week! ITS SO GOOD

I just want to thank you for making such entertaining, high quality, informative videos. I have watched you and your brothers videos for years and always enjoy them. Please keep posting
I absolutely LOVE Hank! He has helped me learn more than any professor!
more like how timing's can amaze my mind
Thank you gd
because of the fast pace of the video which is totally understandable since it's a crash course, I would love to see the content of the video in text formats like an article or a consolidated book of ideas
There was a strange red flashing in the outro of this video.
+DamKaKaDaNi dude your profile picture tho! I love it! I hate teemo cause he is a huge troll, but still like it lol
I've been thinking on heavy topics for the past few weeks and stumbled on crash course for entertainment and you guys TALKED ABOUT THESE HEAVY TOPICS! Awesome!
There are a good number of people in the world who don't ever show signs of cognition.

Keep up the good work. 😉👍🏾
Just binge watched your entire series. This is the best episode!
A female being a doctor does not make sense, because the word doctor (which is Latin for "teacher") is grammatically masculine.
A woman could certainly be a _doctrix_, the grammatically feminine equivalent (which also happens to sound much cooler).
except that we speak 21st century english. not latin.
Frederick Stark I still think we should just call them Doctrix(es) because it is really cool sounding.
Caleb Mohr
The plural of _doctrix_ is _doctrices_, not _doctrixes_.
It is a pretty standard 3rd declension feminine word, declined the same way as _matrix_ or _dominatrix_.
Of course, the plural of _doctor_ should be _doctores_ rather than _doctors_ too.
magister343 or because THE doctor has never been female. he should be. timelady!
Avia A haha, nice one :D
I'm offended by the trash-talk on Flat-earthers in this episode. I'll have you know, the Flat Earth Society has members ALL around the globe. I should know, I'm a card-carrying member.
***** Dude. A joke. "Flat earth society" "Around the globe". I was making a joke, clearly, because a flat-earth believer would not believe the earth has a globe. But thanks for the paragraph.

Can we have a Hanklerfish option in the next Mario game? That was too adorable.
crash course has been helping me in my college degree of Psychology - from Philo, ethics, Cognitive psych etc.. thank you.. thank you so much , as an ADHDer, it made me love my chosen course, deep dive, advance and equipped. I can say that I am not good in memorizing terms, but the concepts? Ghad I can put everything I have learned in real life situations and be able to explain it to anyone =)
"I think, therefore I am" Has nothing to do with brilliance, it's just the only fact even the hardest of skeptics cannot honestly refute.
you may not be able to outright refute it but you can call it into question by demanding a coherent definition of "I", including that it is to be defined by the characteristics of "thinking"(process), "am"(status of being) and continuation of existing (due to the linking of status and process)
playing wannabe philosopher is fun XD
DeHerg Questions like this are why I went with a practical science degree. "It depends on what your definition of is, is." "No it doesn't. Is is is, now go away while I make things explode."
Eric Taysom
well my imput wasn´t soley a play on words and definitions but rather a hint to a topic of practical science, in this case neuroscience.
Consciousness is an emergent property of the process of "thinking" ie alot on nonconscious neurons exchanging information. The structure of this kollective of neurons(ie the brain) changes due to this process.
So how can you say "you are because you think" when the very thing that is thinking in the beginning of that process is structurally different to the object at the end?
Thank you Hank, on point and all info and titles is on par with my 1st year psychology studies. you are a brilliant speaker and I find it very easy to listen and pay attention throughout, Keep it up!!
My AP psychology exam is tomorrow and I haven't studied at all. I made 3 different study schedules as time went by, but I can't get myself to study. I can't even keep my attention on this video. I'm gonna do horrible, but I think i'm at the point in my senior year where I just don't care.
Study without worrying about the proof, for they will never represent the true proof of life. Without worrying I think things will flow naturally. I hope everything goes well, hug !!

I really enjoyed this! Thanks for putting together such a humorous yet informative video.
Watching this in 2016 and the bad batman movie joke still works
Bad superman*
editing the original comment is possible :)
Watching it in 2017 and nothing has changed :)
so does the Hillary Clinton thing. i never even heard of that til the election
2018 aaaand it is still funny
excellent hank.
you have done well taking a jab at man of steel.
excellent.
I love all these videos on psychology. They make me feel like a psychologist 🤓
Excited for the language lesson next week. I hope you get into what happens when the areas of the brain that are predominantly associated with language (wernicke's, broca's, arcuate fasciculus, etc...) are damaged. I just finished my class on Aphasia, and it is pretty interesting stuff.
I like the new Superman movie!

I liked that Lord of the Rings reference dropped in there. :)
Love this series so much I converted it to MP3s to listen to on my iPhone while I jog. Anyone else notice the 'angry swan squawk' on the definition slides this way? (2:31 is audible if you want to hear - turn up the volume). I thought I was experiencing a new exertion-related crazy condition so getting to the bottom of the mystery was a relief!
Owlbear?
That's what popped into my head too. That and "Moonkin". xD
That was totally an Owlbear
+LadyLahdeedah moonkins ftw.
I think that our consciousness is a network of things and ideas in our mind that we can call moral values and personal philosophies etc. (or a separate partition in our minds), and every decision we make is filtered through this executive portion and this is likely what results in many of the "illogical" decisions people make. But, after all, it's what makes us special, we are human.
2:28 owlbear. different structuring of concepts I guess.
The best video ever.
I've learned so much about myself & more so about the people around me. The most important video (imo) in the whole series thus far.
AMAZING 👍👍👍
You severely underestimate your audience's nerdiness if you think they won't already know what a goddamn owlbear is.
Thank you, guys! Very informative and well structured. I like the visual illustrations and the list of main points at the end!
Loving this series!
I love how I understood the whole topic of cognition (sans memory) from this summarization.
you know whats sad? when he said think of a bird, the first thing that came into my mind was an angry bird. FML.
Best Crash Course Psychology episode yet! Being a Tversky and Kahneman fangirl I might be biased though... I would have loved one entire episode of Prospect Theory even.
That was an owlbear!
correct
Beneficial and informing thank you and the strong mad in the back makes me very happy.
Ha! Bill Nye and Ken Ham at 6:06.
Saw that too ;)
Surprised Ken Ham wasn't more visibly roughed up. Would that have detracted from the point?
Ooooh... The Bill Nye figure looked more like Matt Smith to me and I was trying to figure out who the other guy was.
How did I not notice that?!?!😂😂😂
I am LOVING these videos!!!
Woah, I felt so smart when I figured out the answer the riddle, I said "aha!" as it popped up on the screen.
Might have been because he talked about fruit in the earlier segment, lemon and orange and all that.
This was really great as ive taken up a facination in cognitive psychology. Would you please do more on this subject breaking it down even more?! Now every time i have an argument with my friend i think of this, its really changed my perspective and the way i view others opinions! Please do more! ❤
So what were the red flashes for at 10:08? I'm thinking that's a hint at next weeks topic, maybe?
So, the Ken Ham Vs. Bill Nye at 6:04 when talking about evidence made my day!
some people still think the earth is flat... like WHAT??
love how Hank talks!!
+GundelSince2011 Epic Moment!! I laughed so hard! I was watching some flat earth believers videos and I felt exactly the same :)
hey hello, just kinda saying, the idea of 'you think therefore you are' by Decartes actually talks about consciousness being the only 'sole' evidence of existence, meaning that if everything in the world turns out to be an illusion which you can be made to doubt, including your own consciousness, this very thought and the fact that you can doubt your own consciousness is proof that you indeed have a consciousness to do the doubting. Hence you must exist.
I'm not all too sure of its relation with correct or incorrect thinking but just sharing in case :)
who else saw the hand stealing the blue anglerfish at 2:12?
for those who are interested in mind biases check thinking fast and slow , its one of the best books about this subject
Where can I get the blue stuffed angler fish?
The graphics are particularly excellent this week. Thanks thoughtbubble ;)
People still think the Earth is flat? What?
Did you see the cartoon of the guy with a bowtie fighting the guy in glasses? The guy with the bowtie is Bill Nye the science guy and the guy in glasses is Ken Ham. Ken Ham is the president of the creation museum. Ken Ham believes in a literal interpretation of the bible. Thus, he and his followers believe that the earth is flat.
Yeah. I watched it. I rooted for Bill.
Moonbeam ham was completely off topic foot half of the debate and bill kept pointing out that there are way too many hours in creationism. Did you notice that ham says indirectly that the bible is impossible when he talks about not being able to being able to make life from a dead stick. Exodus, anyone?
***** You know, there is a direct link to the amount of Creationists who believe in unproven theories of creation, and the people who believes in unproven conspiracy theories.
I remember when in the debate, Ken tried to clarify his position, but bill made him look even dumber.
You crack me up. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Who took the fish?
Yeah, I didn't see the "Fish Thief" title in the credits.
I did, I'll give it back tomorrow.
SparkySywer really?
SparkySywer No, give it to me!
fossilfighters101 Alright, but tomorrow you better give it to Hank.
Hopefully this will help me with my exam today! Thanks crash course 😊
pineapples are called pineapples because in the past in the early english language all fruits were just called differend kinds of apples, like oranges were called applesin. anyway pineapple look like a half fruit half pinecone or piney thing and thats why they were named pineapples, because when they started renaming them like the orange when that became a word for a colour and it wasn't just called yellowred, pineapple just didn't have a better name
This is one of my fav episodes
i seen the creature and thought "owlbear"
hmm i got "pine-smoked crab sauce" which actually wouldn't be that good i don't think (pine is a softwood)
this explains so much more
red flashes between 10:07 and 10:09 ???? 10:08 is where im paused and its red :P

Jack Kierath secret subbable messages 😨

Subliminal messages?
Could you make videos of different types of diagnostic assays - e.g. ELISA, EIA, OA...? I love yah vids!!! - You make things easier to understand.
Man of Steel was AWESOME!!!!!
It's amazing how the way we word things can determine how we think about a situation .
Oh no! I hope whoever took Hank's fish had a guilty conscious and put it back. Or it could be Hank's evil clone from that Wheezy waiter episode. I hope I got that memory right. Great job, Hank! Psychology has always fascinated me and it's really fun to learn through crash course! :D
Interesting information for sure.
My brain doesn't like watching this, because it's learning about stuff it doesn't want to know.
i love that crashcourse psychology is a thing
