Переглядів 6163 роки тому
This 4th segment of lecture 12 (Spring 2021 semester) provides an overview of the many types of state dependent memory. In short, your ability to remember information is best when you recall it in the same place and conditions as when you learned it.
367 Lecture 12.3 S21 Study like a pro
Переглядів 7803 роки тому
Students try to remember as much as they can. Memory research is tremendously helpful in showing students who they can remember more course content in less time. This segment of lecture 12 in the Spring 2021 semester teaching students who to take advantage of memory research to make their academic lives more successful and easier.
367 Lecture 12.2 S21 Meaning Matters in Memory
Переглядів 5743 роки тому
In this second segment of lecture 12 during the Spring 2021 semester, we discuss a key study by Marcia Johnson that beautifully illustrates that how well you remember information is a direct function of how meaningful that information is.
367 Lecture 12.1 S21 Study Studies
Переглядів 6543 роки тому
During our Spring 2021 semester, lecture 12 covers research findings in cognitive psychology that students can use to significantly increase how efficiently and effectively they study. By applying the research from this set of lectures, you can remember more in less time!
367 Lecture 5.4 Reality is a Collective Hunch
Переглядів 7093 роки тому
In this final segment of lecture 5, we discuss the concept of "perceptual inference." As initially described by Helmholtz, we must use our past experience and current expectations to infer or take our "best guess" as to what our sensory input actually means. In other words, we have to guess at the contents of reality.
367 Lecture 2.5 Tools Used to Measure Cognition
Переглядів 3843 роки тому
In this final segment of lecture 2.5, we review a few of the tools that are used in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience to measure where neural activity occurs in you brain and what the relationships are between particular patterns of neural activity and cognition/behaviors.
367 Lecture 4.5 Tools used to Locate Functions in Your Brain
Переглядів 4383 роки тому
In this final segment of lecture 4, we review a few of the tools that cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists use to determine where various functions might occur in your brain. We emphasize fMRI.
367 Lecture 3.5 Diseases of the Brain
Переглядів 4283 роки тому
In this final segment of lecture 3, three brain disorders are introduced: Alzheimer's Disease, Stroke, and CTE. The goal of introducing these challenges to the brain is to help students understand how the brain is structured and typically functions.

thank you so much for your videos, i find them extremely informative yet simple to understand , the effort you put into them is very much appreciated , and your humour makes it all perfect. i ma not a student but i love to learn about the brain and your videos are the best, i watch them many times not once, such an underrated channel.
5:20 thank you, I was reading a book tat did not explain this clearly
Olá, Prof. Maggie. Quero agradecer a você, imensamente, por ter disponibilizado um conteúdo tão lúdico, tão sensorial!
I was about ready to throw my cog psy textbook and instructor out the window (not literally) but I decided maybe the internet can make these concepts come to life for me and then I found your videos! Please keep making them, your presentation is captivating! I get it and I want to know more..thank you! Carrie

I keep telling people that I have a problem organizing my thoughts and that I can't be coherent with the ideas that keep popping out randomly. In turn, it gets harder to explain things coherently. The information on working memory exactly seems to be the answer I have been looking for.
amazing
I am able to read only one row the row the three letters which I decide to pay attention , I am not able to comprehend to rest of the experiment
You're literally saving my life
thanks
😊😊
Thank You for your funny teaching
You such good presenter
It's amazing
Thank you. This lecture has helped me tremendously in working out how to categorise more abstract concepts for an ontology of energy systems
Thank you so much! I'm watching this a day before exams😭🤌✨️
More advance studies in the patently obvious!
I totally support this claim
Very useful thank you so much
Ur amazing 🙏🏽
Mam, it helped me a lot. Thank you and God bless you! ❤
thank you so much prof
Awesome explanation, thank you !!!!
You seem to be using the word potential to refer to an awful lot of actual.
🙏🙏
Thank you for this useful video
I’m slightly confused, does the whole report procedure have 9 letters or 12? It’s different at 1:28 and 10:10. It’s also different in every textbook😢
Thank you for making a good content❤
‘Je ne sais quoi’ is different from ‘ineffable’. It’s probably the conceptual ways of structuring cognition and perception.
1:38 The two are not mutually exclusive.
Thank you, Dr. Shiffrar! I thoroughly enjoy studying in your class, and it has significantly facilitated my cognitive learning. I never find myself getting bored while studying with you. Looking forward to more videos on your channel. Thumbs up!
Hi. I want to research about bilingualism. Can you help me
thank you maggie for you lectures
Hi maggie, just want to thank you a lot for your tutorials, it help me significantly on my journey in cognitive science and provide me with valuable information
I wonder what the ads were about ? I busied myself while they went on.
I stumbled across your video while I was trying to obtain more information about this topic. I am just a curious neophyte but these were well-invested minutes of my life. I really appreciate the effort of explaining complex topics and uploading the video for everyone who is interested. Greetings from Puebla, México.
Thank you 😊
My favorite professor <3
Never be ashamed to be monolingual. I used to be bilingual, and different 2nd languages at different times, but am now firmly monolingual. For those who learn multiple languages, either out of absolute survival necessity or by choice, good for you. Be proud. For those who find it too difficult to waste time learning more than your native language, you got NOTHING to be ashamed of. It's a personal choice that doesn't affect anybody else, doesn't stop anybody else from doing wtf THEY want to do. There is ZERO shame to stay in your comfort zone, as long as you don't physically hurt or burden others unfairly (i.e. more than they harm or burden you: e.g. eating animals when you can go vegan, arresting people for consensual homosexual sex) and don't shame THEM for staying in their comfort zone. Governments all over the world should just buy handheld translation devices for everybody. I now find it pointless saying the same thing with different sounds and different squiggles on paper. Even when bilingual, I was ONLY interested in reading and writing, because I could do that at my pace. None of this instantaneous listening and speaking crap. Even when I took one semester of Chinese, and did well, earned an A, as well as four semesters of French (all As), and a decade of Russian, I found writing exercises more enjoyable than speaking/listening. For me, nothing can model the world like mathematics. There is no other language besides mathematics that can model/describe ideas in math. That is why I devote my entire life to discovering and proving new theorems in mathematics. A close family member of mine has zero interest in math, never had math beyond high school calculus, and he always hated learning non-math non-computer languages. He earned a D in German as a requirement for his doctorate in music. He rightly hates all the arbitrary illogical inconsistent rules of non-math non-computer languages. But he is absolutely FLUENT in Java, C++, Python, HTML... ALL computer languages. While I have done computer programming out of necessity for my chemical engineering degree and job and to aid in my math research, I really hate it now.
Oh boy, you and I were born to meet. I rarely comment but for you sir, I'll make an exception. I'm a polyglot, I speak fluently 5 languages at native speaker level (Travelling extensively helped), I can read and write one dead language (latin), and I'm learning my 6th and 7th language (Hindi and Spanish). I'm a researcher in computer science and mathematics. My field of specialization is large language models. Let me begin by saying that you're wrong. VERY WRONG. As the French say "Les limites de mon monde, sont les limites de mon langage." This is formally known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. As a polyglot, you get to see that this is actually true: there are ideas in French that I could never ever capture in English or in Hindi (I'm currently living in India), and vice-versa. For example the idea “à plus forte raison”, this is a concept used to build arguments in logic, and yet in English you actually don’t really have a construction that captures that exact nuance of that expression as it exists in French, you literally have to resort to Latin (a fortiori) to capture an expression that is actually quite common and natural in French. Also, the amazing thing about speaking more languages is that the more you learn languages, the more you find patterns that cut across languages, and this pattern recognition that emerges as you learn more languages makes it SUPER easy to learn more languages. It allows you to start to "feel" how conceptually related languages are, and how they evolved from similar philosophies. For example: Kitaab, Kitabu, Book That's Hindi, Swahili, and English, respectively. See a pattern there? Thousands of patterns like these exist across languages. For me personally, Knowing French and English made it an absolute breeze to learn German. It's almost like German fills in the "gaps" between French and English. So there are many, many extremely fun and thrilling cognitive experiences you will NEVER have as a monolingual. And honestly learning languages is actually not that hard. In fact it’s so easy that children do it! As the lecturer points out, the lack of formal personal pronouns in English is kinda part of why most other culture perceive Americans as arrogant. This congenital ‘informality” that we Americans have (😂) makes us come across as too brazen to people from other cultures. In my day to day these days I often have to go through 3 languages English, French, Hindi to communicate and the biggest adjustment is always in levels of formality: English has very little, French has a lot, Hindi takes it to a stunning level. I feel like, Asian languages really take the cake when it comes to formality. Anyways, my point is that by learning multiple languages you really develop an appreciation for how different groups of people believe society should be organized and you get to live a much richer life because you become exposed to the dazzling array of ideas and categorizations that help diverse groups of people define what is worthy and meaningful. Now back to mathematics, in a way mathematics is absolutely terrible for communicating ideas. And I say this as someone who LOVES mathematics to death and runs a mathematics research lab. Mathematics as a mode of communication is actually conceptually incoherent in many ways: it is lazy and drops the ball in many embarrassing ways. I could write a book on the shocking contradictions of set theory, but I’m sure you already know all about that. We somehow imagine that the use of symbols makes mathematics a non-linguistic system as far as communication goes. It actually is not. Mathematics is very much syntactical. It is still a language. In fact it is short-hand to be technically correct, and that means it is fundamentally reductive. Having written computer code for many years gave me a deep appreciation of just how reductive and inelegant mathematics really is as a means of capturing computational ideas. So your arguments in favor of monolingualism and mathematics are founded on personal preference rather than empirical data. And that's fine I guess but the attitude motivating this stance is most definitely regressive and even destructive. Nothing interesting or worthy happens in one’s comfort zone. But here’s the funny thing: if you go out of your comfort zone, one of the interesting things that happen is that your comfort zone actually expands. You’ll do well to spend some time to reflect on the implications of that profound and life-changing phenomenon. I'm just entering my thirties and I already speak close to 7 languages. Imagine what the rest of life has in store for me! Doesn't it kinda kill you that you'll never have that?
So how would one communicate with Bryon? By writing things down?
Do you even hear yourself? Sex 'assigned' at birth! 😂
thank you mam.
you are the reason i still love my major
I wish she would have touched upon the degree of the modalities in memory. High autobiographical memory has gotten a fair amount of attention but I have the opposite disorder and it is barely known.
12:27 a Robin have all the features we associated with the term bird and the Orstich very few.
your classes are amazing, thank you so much for your videos
What a great lecture you delivered ❤ Kudos to you litrly for giving crystal clear ideas and more than that 💐 I am struggling with psychoanalysis from morning, so i got a lecture of you and myself got more informed now ⭐
i went through many of your lectures, they are so well explained that all the gaps i had in understanding the concepts earlier , are bridged. Thank you so much Prof Maggie for putting these online!
I can't memorize at all 😢
thank you. you are awesome. and its coming from carl g jung
