***** Nice. You should consider writing a book. I relate to many of your descriptions about being a loner in school and therefore starting to observe and study human behavior. I noticed humans doesn't differ at all from most of the mammals, except that we have a complex form of communication, so it's quite "easy" to find patterns and what causes them to be. I would really enjoy sharing information if you don't mind.
Not entirely. As human psychology also deals with trying to understand certain human psychology that maybe outside of the normal ( bell curve ) psychology of a human ( either for the better or worse ). E.g.The all too many pathological behaviours ( within a healthy social psychology) that drive humans to inflict cruelty .Edit. My mistake as l was inferring to psychology in general not specifically human psychology. E.g. Psychology is also about attempting to understand other non human animals. A harder task .I.e. Can a human psychology ever comprehend a dolphin psychology.
@@evolutionrhythm4416 You've given an example that supports what you're trying to disagree with; brains trying to understand their own (potentially cruel) actions. A common human action (violence intended to cause suffering) as an example of how psychology works to understand common human actions... like cruelty.
@@asdfgretw123 mAybe a case of crossed wires ( communication) as you seem to think I'm wrong ( show me / link to the peer reviewed research). All l am suggesting ( it's a fact ) is that empirically gathered evidence ( research that's peer reviewed) is a good method of avoiding human bias . And the rest of the " alternative " " methods " e.g. Your opinion V mine , Belief, social cohesion, making stuff up to meet your immediate agenda, folk stories and religions etc, are at best socially relevant and at worst a complete nightmare.I.e. if some of these religions ever became overly Dominant as they did in the dark ages ( but the majority will never settle on one religion nor one god . Just like no nation will agree that blue is the best colour). Human psychology isn't comparably that complicated ( narcissistic opinions aside). And that's why it's so f.....g hard for some to charge their habits . Even if those habits are a short road to death . Within the context of ecology, the average human psychological is the road to hell ( on planet Earth ). On average humans are a reactionary species. Reacting to perceived immediate threats, desires etc. So, the unknown question is , what level of ecological/ planetary degradation has to take place before humans wake up to the biggest threat ever to face humanity ?. Is a " it's actually too late " to prevent severe ecological collapse ( food systems failure) possible. Nobody ( including ecologists) has all the relevant evidenced based information to answer this with any degree of confidence. Climate change is a " inconvenient truth " , we must do our best to reduce the possibility of it becoming a global catastrophe.
@@asdfgretw123 I agree l didn't get to the point l was inferring. As a thought experiment lets say humans have the cognitive potential to fully understand their own psychology ( not " fake" in order to gain social esteem , but a real scientifically based comprehension). E.g. The conscious would comprehend what it is and why/how it functions the way it does . I.e " The human brain knowing itself". Psychologically that would not answer psychological questions that are not specifically of human ( hominid) origin . e.g. The psychology of a dog has changed quite significantly since it's wolf ancestry ( e.g. To live in human social groups ) . Much of the dog ( wolf sub species ) psychological change has occurred due to human selective breeding ( I.e. Humans selectively breeding wolf's >>dogs based on preferred behavioural characteristics ( " piggy backing" on the process of natural selection ). Thus , even if some evolutionary psychologists can understand human psychology / behaviour , that would not mean we can fully comprehend the psychology of a dog . Thus , " psychology" is not all about the human brain trying to understand itself " . Of course narcissism seems to be a driving force 😉. ( an understanding of evolution is fundamental to predictable and comprehensive understanding of human psychology for reasons that are beyond the scope of a internet forum .I.e. Read the research like any good scientists does )
I remember watching this series when I was 13. It got me so interested in the subject. I made me want to become a psychologist. Now I'm 18 and will graduate from school next year. I've been determined and put down effort into my school work and will (if I keep my grades relatively good), be able to get into the 5 year (+ 1 year of practice) psychology program to become a licensed psychologist. It’s been such a long time since this video was posted so you'll probably not see this, but thank you so much, Hank
@@ricardomojica8357 I think it depends. But once you understand the way you have to think, it's easy. If you're interested, I'd say you'll manage quite easily :) good luck!
The thought of that being possible hadn't even occurred to me until he said it, and it was honestly a terrifying and profound realization. But screw it, even if we can't, we might as well try.
If they did, could you imagine the chaos? Dying all the sudden, because you have full control over usually automatic processes, and simultaneously trying to control them all at once while having an existential panic attack... and that's just one of the possibilities. It'd be funny though, being so over-qualified that you couldn't do something simple because you're operating on too high of a level. haha!
Musicyay12 No, not really. The material itself isn't too difficult, but there's a lot of papers and a lot of reading involved. It might be different depending on the teacher though.
I'm 11. I know I might kinda young to study psychology but....I want to know a bit about it. I have a passion to become a therapist or psychologist....I want to help people with their feelings....☺
So basically, Human minds are one of the most complicated things and the rules that govern it are mysterious & elusive. While the term "psychology" was coined around 16th Century, the practice of science around it was no established until the 1800. The formal definition of psychology has evolved over the last several decades, today we can safely call it the science of behavior and mental processes. Psychology is one of the most extremely diverse in terms of the questions it proposes, the method it applies and the school of though it contains. For instance, right around Freud's(1900-1939) time, there were a lot of different schools of thought of about how the study of the human mind should be tackled. Mainly, there were the ideas of structuralism, functionalism and psychoanalysis. -"Structuralism" in 1879 by Wilhelm Wundt & Edward Bradford Titchener: "Structuralism" focusses on how patient feel when they do something like watched the sun set, or smell a coffee, or licked a kitten, or whatever. This relied heavily on introspection and it became too subjective and since it's not possible observe a patient's inner thoughts or feelings, so ultimately, the structuralist school of thought was fairly short-lived. -"Functionalism" in 1890 by William James: Focuses on the "function of behavior", why we think and feel and smell and lick, or whatever. This approach of 'functionalism', was based on Charles Darwin's idea that adaptive behaviors are conserved throughout the evolutionary process. -"Psychoanalysis" in 1900 by Freud: A radical kernel of Psychoanalysis suggests that "our personalities are shaped by unconscious motives" which mean we are all profoundly affected by mental processes that we are not aware of. Another important part of the "Psychoanalysis" is that "unconscious, the thing below consciousness" is still discover-able. An even though we are not aware of it, we can come to understand it through a therapeutic technique using dreams, projections and free association to root out repressed feelings and gain self insight. So what Freud was really saying was that "mental disorders could be healed through talk therapy and self-discovery". And this was a really big breakthrough. After "The Interpretations of Dreams", Freud went on to publish over 20 more books and countless papers with an iconic cigar in hand all the while. -"Behaviorism" by Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B. F. Skinner: Behaviorism focuses on the study of observable behavior. The first half of the 20th Century was dominated by "behaviorism" promoted by Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B. F. Skinner.
-"Psychodynamic Theories" descendant of Freud's Psychoanalysis: Psychodynamic Theories focuses on importance of early experiences in shaping the unconscious and how that process affects out though, feelings, behavior and personalities.
By the mid-20th century, there were other major forces in psychology like "Humanist Psychology", which focuses on nurturing personal growth; "Cognitive Science" and "Neuroscience", all of which contributed their own unique takes on the study of mind. Psychology: Modern day definition of psychology "the study of behavior and mental processes", is a nice amalgamation that pulls from all these different schools of thought. It recognizes the need for observing and recording behavior, but it also gives credit to our mental processes, what we think and feel and believe. Psychology is an integrative science and while there are different school of thoughts & theories, the essence of the discipline has everything to do with creating different ways of asking interesting questions and attempting to answer them through all kinds of data-gathering methods. The human mind is complicated. There is no single way to effectively crack it open; it must be pried at from all sides. Harvard astronomer Owen Gingerich has gazed into the distant horizon of space, and even he has acknowledged that the human brain is by far the most complex physical object known to us in the entire cosmos, and we all get to have one!
it's 3am and I've decided I want to be a behavioral psychologist. May change my mind over the course of the next two years of high school, but Psych is convincing
I'm here coz I love psychology and also I don't have to remember all this and write and exam so I don't have to stress myself (it's better when we are learning out of curiosity and not coz we have to)
I feel like this Civ V quote is relevant. "If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't." -Ian Stewart
I disagree with that - simply because it's assuming that a single brain is not capable of understanding one other brain or itself only. Which would hold true. However, there are hundreds of thousands, millions even, of brains working towards completely understand one single brain. Take, for example, computers - the original computer (representing a single brain) could only do simple math problems. It was not capable of understanding the intricacies of another version of itself. However, a complex supercomputer (representing a network of humans) can easily break down the code generating the old school computer. So, while one individual is not capable of discovering everything about the brain, a network of human beings can.
Wonderful discourse. What about the brains of other organisms in our animal kingdom? Even a network of those minds cannot possibly discover how one of their own minds works, even a billion of them as none will physically have the ability to be aware enough to look into their own minds. They clearly have mental capacities that limit their intelligence and understanding of the environment. Does that mean they match this quote? Well, we cannot understand the principles of their simpler minds and consciousness even with our higher mental capacity. So I agree with this quote... in a way.
People watching this video fall into the categories: 5% saying random paradoxes 60% saying they have an exam tomorrow and are trying to cram 35% saying they have a passion for this subject Whos here in 2019?
I mean I'm not yet have the ability to take psych class since I'm only 14 but I lookout to prepare since I'm really into psychologyical stuff and looking forward to be psychological doctor
At first, I thought the joke was that readers would click on "Read more" until two minutes later, I realized it said "Read again." Then I spent another few minutes figuring out why I was supposed to read it again. Some days I think I'm fairly intelligent, and most other days... Touché, man, touché.

HiItsJo oh, well history is more of an attractive topic to opinionated people for psychological reasons than even psychology is LOL. Everyone wants to twist history their way... and they always try to simplify it to their level of thinking.
If anyone here is college student learning Psychology here are some tips : As a psychologist. I believe that my patients should feel comfortable with my questions and try to get more free and comfortable talking to me with the time. I treat them like my friends. Because I myself have been through a lot of mental pressure when I was a child. Everyone around me was under mass depression and I started learning how to help people.
As a senior secondary school teacher , I think every teacher should have commendable knowledge in psychology. So I always become very interested to learn psychology. Your videos have brought a golden Chance to persons like us to fulfill our interest. They will surely play an towering role in transforming The lives of millions. Thanks,congrats , hats off and salute to all conserned.
I agree! Personally, if I were to be a teacher (Which I have debated on before) I would probably minor in psychology. I feel like if teachers were required to have psychology as a minor or at least have to have taken several psychology classes (Or at least intro and something like educational or developmental psychology) schools would be a bit better.
***** Haha, me too. I'm gonna fail though cause my school cant even provide textbooks for us or a teacher that cares for that matter. Good luck to the rest of you all.
I am autistic (high-functioning with Aspergers) as well. Unfortunately, the past few years i have been plagued with completely separate new things and neurological conditions includin depression, OCD and other anxiety disorders, possible schizophrenia, and an array of physical things that is not relevant. As a result of the many things I have albeit they are very bad, they have made me VERY interested in the human mind and wanting to learn more about these things, the very things I can relate to so much. I am currently enrolled in AP Psychology at my high school, and this whole series might also help me study for that AP Exam of course. I have already watched the videos on the mental disorders, but have decided to watch EVERY video in this series, starting with this. I admire your similar goal. I say Crash Course does a darn good job with their series's.. Sorry for the rant though
I have a sort of "learning disability" where it takes me longer to process and act on some types of information and quicker than usual to process and act on other types of information. It's actually more of a "learning difference" than disability. There have been times when I've been able to figure out a situation before everyone else does and they're like "how the hell did he figure it out?", yet when I was learning to drive, I failed the driving test three times! I'm looking into psychology because I really want to understand how my mind works. I want to know myself better!
Χαφσά hafsa personally I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the way people think and it was very useful in everyday life. I really recommend it even though it was ALOT of reading at my school and the work was intensive but that’s expected out of an AP class. I definitely think it’s worth it however. Good luck! I got a 5 on the AP test and so can you.
Thank you a million.... I have just started “ introduction to psychology “ book and this video was exactly the first chapter in the book ...... it helped a lot to understand the concepts by reviewing the chapter in video format 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Be warned, if you want to study this. There is a LOT to remember, no joke. It is just painful remembering all that information. So if you want to study it, you gotta be committed. From an A Level student.
Psychology can be easy for some and hard for others so I cannot answer that question for you. But if you are committed and capable of remembering a lot of information, go ahead. But to give you the topics I am doing, these were; Biopsychology, Attachments, Memory, Social Influence, Psychopathology, Approaches to Psychology, Research Methods, Relationships, Forensic Psychology, and Schizophrenia.
I'm actually a senior in High School, and haven't taken a psych class yet, but am really looking forward to it. I've done so many things to get to know about the topic. The main reason being that I want to become a psychologist.
I’m 15, a 9th gradee and I’m genuinely interested in this topic. I started being interested when I was 13. I think I’ll be deciding to take on Psychology :)))
No, it just means you are a wise young person who spends their time learning things that will benefit their life in the long run. I wish I were more like you when I was younger. When I was your age, I could care less about psychology and the wonders of the human mind! XD
Lol I'm twelve (going on thirteen) but I'm watching this... I guess we could be called intellectuals haha ;) Anyone else interested in astrology as well here?
I watched this video for the first time in my final year of highschool when i was struggling to figure out what i wanted to do with the rest if my life. This video made me want to learn more about the subject and I am proud to say that 6 years later i have just graduated with an honors degree in applied psychology. I have watched this video, and all the others in the series many times over the past few years and i wish i could thank hank personally for making the dense topic of psychology fun to learn and easy to digest. I am going to take a break from studying for a year or two to go out and work in the filed but i will come back and edit this comment in a few years time when i get my doctorate in clinic psychology. Thanks hank!
+Des Vanbelli (運命) I advise pre-nursing students, and I have 2 who are majoring in psych and who will then enter their BSN program (that's how our Univ. works) and 4 more who are psych minors. If you're interested in psych nursing, it's really the way to go. Best of Luck!
I'm so glad that these are here! I want to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist in the future and I wanted to go ahead and start learning early so now I can watch these!
Priyanka Paul It worked really well, but don't rely on just his videos. Read a review book, and get a goodnight sleep. Don't worry though, it's actually really easy! Good luck.
I tend to do summaries via videos like the ever wonderful videos produced by Crash Course either before or after completing notes on a particular section/chapter of my studies. Helps me a lot, don't know if this tip will help whoever reads my comments but it helps me.
So um This is a bit off-topic, but does anybody else find the random thought bubbles VERY distracting?? I have to pause the video to read them and then rewind the last 5 seconds 3 times to remember the beginning of the sentence and re-focus on what Hank was saying, because I don't want to miss a single piece of information presented, even if it's just brain farts. Then it gets me distracted. In turn, I end up watching a 10-minute video for about 17 minutes..
Why does everyone make videos where no one pauses between sentences. I was looking forward to watching this but there's no time to reflect on what your hearing. It's like watching one of those '10 things you need to know about Marvel' type videos.
I just found this channel and I love it so much!!! 😏 In my country, we don't have any psychology class so no exams and ain't nobody like psychology in my school except me 😊

I disagree with that - simply because it's assuming that a single brain is not capable of understanding one other brain or itself only. Which would hold true. However, there are hundreds of thousands, millions even, of brains working towards completely understand one single brain.
Take, for example, computers - the original computer (representing a single brain) could only do simple math problems. It was not capable of understanding the intricacies of another version of itself. However, a complex supercomputer (representing a network of humans) can easily break down the code generating the old school computer.
So, while one individual is not capable of discovering everything about the brain, a network of human beings can.
Wonderful discourse. What about the brains of other organisms in our animal kingdom? Even a network of those minds cannot possibly discover how one of their own minds works, even a billion of them as none will physically have the ability to be aware enough to look into their own minds. They clearly have mental capacities that limit their intelligence and understanding of the environment. Does that mean they match this quote? Well, we cannot understand the principles of their simpler minds and consciousness even with our higher mental capacity. So I agree with this quote... in a way.
+Jake H but in a way I also disagree with it...

It's strange how the the brain doesn't recognize the second "the" after the first "the".

At first, I thought the joke was that readers would click on "Read more" until two minutes later, I realized it said "Read again." Then I spent another few minutes figuring out why I was supposed to read it again. Some days I think I'm fairly intelligent, and most other days... Touché, man, touché.

Finn Mikkelsen Agreed :)
Finn Mikkelsen I think the trolls and willfully ignorant mostly stay away from education channels.
Read the comments to world history... I cried
HiItsJo oh, well history is more of an attractive topic to opinionated people for psychological reasons than even psychology is LOL. Everyone wants to twist history their way... and they always try to simplify it to their level of thinking.
He's a better teacher than my actual psychology teacher.. hahaha

If anyone here is college student learning Psychology here are some tips :
As a psychologist. I believe that my patients should feel comfortable with my questions and try to get more free and comfortable talking to me with the time. I treat them like my friends. Because I myself have been through a lot of mental pressure when I was a child. Everyone around me was under mass depression and I started learning how to help people.
As a senior secondary school teacher , I think every teacher should have commendable knowledge in psychology.
So I always become very interested to learn psychology.
Your videos have brought a golden
Chance to persons like us to fulfill our interest. They will surely play an towering role in transforming
The lives of millions.
Thanks,congrats , hats off and salute to all conserned.
I agree! Personally, if I were to be a teacher (Which I have debated on before) I would probably minor in psychology. I feel like if teachers were required to have psychology as a minor or at least have to have taken several psychology classes (Or at least intro and something like educational or developmental psychology) schools would be a bit better.
Anyone else having a crash course marathon to get ready for the psych exam tomorrow?
Same, good luck tommorow
***** Haha, me too. I'm gonna fail though cause my school cant even provide textbooks for us or a teacher that cares for that matter. Good luck to the rest of you all.
jcrankup32 That's sad! Hopefully online resources like Crash Course will help you pass!

I'm Autistic, and I've decided that perhaps I might understand people better if I knew how people think. Let's see how this theory works out.
It might
I am autistic (high-functioning with Aspergers) as well. Unfortunately, the past few years i have been plagued with completely separate new things and neurological conditions includin depression, OCD and other anxiety disorders, possible schizophrenia, and an array of physical things that is not relevant. As a result of the many things I have albeit they are very bad, they have made me VERY interested in the human mind and wanting to learn more about these things, the very things I can relate to so much. I am currently enrolled in AP Psychology at my high school, and this whole series might also help me study for that AP Exam of course. I have already watched the videos on the mental disorders, but have decided to watch EVERY video in this series, starting with this. I admire your similar goal. I say Crash Course does a darn good job with their series's.. Sorry for the rant though
Or your might understand them more than they do, and confuse or scare them.
Operator Arrow Is that what happened with Sherlock?
it worked somewhat for me
GET BACK UP THERE. YOU HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW

I have a sort of "learning disability" where it takes me longer to process and act on some types of information and quicker than usual to process and act on other types of information. It's actually more of a "learning difference" than disability. There have been times when I've been able to figure out a situation before everyone else does and they're like "how the hell did he figure it out?", yet when I was learning to drive, I failed the driving test three times!
I'm looking into psychology because I really want to understand how my mind works. I want to know myself better!
honestly me too!!
Let’s get this bread AP psych 2019 😔✊🏼
How is psychology? I'm thinking of choosing it as a subject. What do you think should i or should I not?
Χαφσά hafsa personally I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the way people think and it was very useful in everyday life. I really recommend it even though it was ALOT of reading at my school and the work was intensive but that’s expected out of an AP class. I definitely think it’s worth it however. Good luck! I got a 5 on the AP test and so can you.
@@neradena thank you . And that's really good you got 5 in AP. 💛
ohhh an army and a psychology student. let's make namjoon proud 😌✊
So, I am thinking of taking psychology is it hard to come to terms with, because I actually enjoy watching videos about it
Here's an observation... Everyone takes so much pride in watching videos about psychology in their leisure time, it's quite interesting... hmmm
Well yeah, psychology is interesting af
LMFAO

Thank you a million.... I have just started “ introduction to psychology “ book and this video was exactly the first chapter in the book ...... it helped a lot to understand the concepts by reviewing the chapter in video format 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Be warned, if you want to study this. There is a LOT to remember, no joke. It is just painful remembering all that information. So if you want to study it, you gotta be committed. From an A Level student.
Alexander Anderson seriously? is it that hard? could you give an example please.
Psychology can be easy for some and hard for others so I cannot answer that question for you. But if you are committed and capable of remembering a lot of information, go ahead.
But to give you the topics I am doing, these were; Biopsychology, Attachments, Memory, Social Influence, Psychopathology, Approaches to Psychology, Research Methods, Relationships, Forensic Psychology, and Schizophrenia.
What if ur taking a 2 week class
Notes, notes and more notes. Then drilling those notes into your head, then rewrite them again.
Alexander Anderson I’m figuring out what I wan do and this has sparked my interest and thanks for this tip
think about this, your brain named itself
No, someone else's brain named all the brains.

me too, im starting high school this year, and i hope to go on to major in something psychology-like (probably neuroscience)
I just did that very thing with the Philosophy playlist. Watched it from start to finish without break. This will probably suck me in the same way.
me too! I'm planning on doing a psychology major. I'm so interested in it💓 plus I'm bored as hell tonight.
I'm a 16 year old watching this for fun.
Am I the only one?
not 16 but I am watching this for fun
Same I'm 16 as well decided to start this since CC Philosopy was so good.
Same but I'm 14
I'm 16, but I'm watching this because I'm studying Psychology in college, which I guess is high school in the US.

CRAM CRAM CRAM CRAM CRAM WOOOO
I dont think im ready for the board exam. 😐 send help...
who's watching this as a freshmen because they want to get a head start 👋👋
I'm actually a senior in High School, and haven't taken a psych class yet, but am really looking forward to it. I've done so many things to get to know about the topic. The main reason being that I want to become a psychologist.
Me 🙋
good luck!!
Try 8th grader who wants to get a head start because she's going to be taking a BUTTLOAD of AP classes in about a year ^^
Here! Not major in this part but bec just interested in :)
Fun fact: the brain named itself
I’m 15, a 9th gradee and I’m genuinely interested in this topic. I started being interested when I was 13. I think I’ll be deciding to take on Psychology :)))
is it bad i watch this on my free time
No
***** uhm, no lol im a sophomore in highschool
OnJohn Nah it's a great thing , your learning. My only regret is not watching/discovering @CrashCourse earlier.
this is my 4th time watching the playlist so don't feel bad
+OnJohn
I really enjoy all of these!
Am I the only 13 year old watching this? Or am I just that nerdy?
No, it just means you are a wise young person who spends their time learning things that will benefit their life in the long run. I wish I were more like you when I was younger. When I was your age, I could care less about psychology and the wonders of the human mind! XD
No there is me too :)
Nope, and its great to hear that i am not the only one who is a 13 year old person who is interested in psychology
Lol I'm twelve (going on thirteen) but I'm watching this... I guess we could be called intellectuals haha ;) Anyone else interested in astrology as well here?
living like val Astrology is life.
Stop scrolling through the comments AP Psych 2019 students we got an exam in two days
how did you know? lol
Drew Sharkey ik geez😓
🤣
I choose this elective because I want to be an FBI profiler.
I watched this video for the first time in my final year of highschool when i was struggling to figure out what i wanted to do with the rest if my life. This video made me want to learn more about the subject and I am proud to say that 6 years later i have just graduated with an honors degree in applied psychology. I have watched this video, and all the others in the series many times over the past few years and i wish i could thank hank personally for making the dense topic of psychology fun to learn and easy to digest. I am going to take a break from studying for a year or two to go out and work in the filed but i will come back and edit this comment in a few years time when i get my doctorate in clinic psychology. Thanks hank!
Awesome man 😊I want to be a psychiatrist. All the best to you!
Congrat! For someone who interested in psychology as well Glad to you :)
I’m here because I have the AP Psych Exam next Thursday and I learn better with videos

Psychology has always interested me; it is a prereq for my nursing major. I'm thinking about double majoring.
+Destiny Colona (運命) Goals
Good luck, I hear its hard!
+Des Vanbelli (運命) I advise pre-nursing students, and I have 2 who are majoring in psych and who will then enter their BSN program (that's how our Univ. works) and 4 more who are psych minors. If you're interested in psych nursing, it's really the way to go. Best of Luck!
I'm so glad that these are here! I want to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist in the future and I wanted to go ahead and start learning early so now I can watch these!
TigerLily Heads up, psychiatrists just focus on medicine to treat mental illness and symptoms. It's all medicine, not too much psychology.
Literally same. In the IB, im gonna take psychology so i decided i might as well get a head start lol
ninjalemurdude. Still gotta know your stuff though. ..
Same!!

what did you get on your test??

Who's all here because AP Psych is Monday!
I tend to do summaries via videos like the ever wonderful videos produced by Crash Course either before or after completing notes on a particular section/chapter of my studies. Helps me a lot, don't know if this tip will help whoever reads my comments but it helps me.
So um
This is a bit off-topic, but does anybody else find the random thought bubbles VERY distracting?? I have to pause the video to read them and then rewind the last 5 seconds 3 times to remember the beginning of the sentence and re-focus on what Hank was saying, because I don't want to miss a single piece of information presented, even if it's just brain farts. Then it gets me distracted. In turn, I end up watching a 10-minute video for about 17 minutes..
same
Sorry you can't multitask
I think its more to do with wanting to learn as much as possible and sometimes they aren't very easy to read AND listen to what hes saying
+john rust Well multitasking is actually not possible...:
+Stefanwolf1 it isnt?

Psychology major. Totally psyched for this.
I see what you did there ;)
just trying to evolve my self everyday . you can never stop learning . i will continue to study everything i can . everything!
Why does everyone make videos where no one pauses between sentences. I was looking forward to watching this but there's no time to reflect on what your hearing. It's like watching one of those '10 things you need to know about Marvel' type videos.
Put it on .75 speed, it helps

You know, there is a pause button
I have no problems

My dad said it takes 5x the amount to prepare for a video/ exam for us to be able to perform well. you're doing great!
OOH MY GAAAAAHD CRASH COURSE PSYCHOLOGY I'VE WAITED SO LOOOONG
I feel the SAME way!!!!! OMFG! *Geeks out!!* :D
Uhhh, a new subject. So
- Medieval History
- Ancient History
- Anthropology
I would go for Computer Science imo
i would really like to see, how they handle Math
also -Astronomy -Religion -women rights or "minority rights" (probably more like equality)
People who are watching this to study the AP Psychology test role call!
Crash course is the best channel for me!!!😍
when you don’t wanna read the huge Ap psych book so you watch videos instead
amaka n lmaooo facts
I study as hobby. Am I normal?
Me too :D all these people cramming for exams xD
I just found this channel and I love it so much!!! 😏 In my country, we don't have any psychology class so no exams and ain't nobody like psychology in my school except me 😊
Lol same, I watched the APUSH videos for the exam, but I love psychology
It should be the norm. Unfortunately, it isn't
If you are studying psychology maybe you're chances are a little lower for being normal lol.. Just kidding ...kinda...
00:04 Psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes.
01:23 Psychology explores the human mind, behavior, and consciousness.
02:46 Sigmund Freud was an influential and controversial thinker in the field of psychology
04:06 Psychology evolved from structuralism to functionalism and then to Freud's psychoanalysis.
05:28 Freud revolutionized psychology with his theory of psychoanalysis
06:48 Freud's impact on psychology was monumental
08:10 Psychology is an integrative science
09:34 Asking interesting questions and gathering data to understand the complex human mind.

Good start, Hank! :)
Crashcourse Astronomy / Crashcourse Mathematics, pls.
Philip What Mathematics is and how to understand it, I would guess.
Jese Joon Please explain further, and with better English.
Jese Joon Mathematics doesn't deal with feelings like any other language does, it deals with ideas and logical constructs. You can't express your feelings with Math because Math doesn't express feelings.
Jese Joon That is what I just said.
If the brain was simple enough for us to understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't

Hello everybody from the Intro to psychology course
I am so thankful for this series. I am about to teach intro to psychology to teens at my local co op for homeschool kids and frankly, I had no idea what I was going to do, until I came across this wonderful page. My only concern is how fast he talks but thankfully I can pause and rewind. I look forward to sharing this page with the kids.
