"We are all largely the products of the stories that we tell ourselves." That is an incredible line. Is that a famous quote, or did Hank come up with that? Either way, it's excellent.
Brilliance runs in their family. Hank's awesome brother, John, wrote, “You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.” So great!
prismaticcrow You might want to check the credits at the end. This episode is written by Kathleen Yale. So it's likely that this line is her creation rather than Hanks.
Okay, is it just me oooor? I frequently mix up real memories and dreams. Like, I'll think a dream really happened or, more commonly, something that really happened was just a dream. I use to hid it because I thought it was embarrassing but know I just ask someone I know, like, "Okay, did this really happen?" So, yeah. Is it just me?
+DeliciousMadness It's not just you, it happens to everyone. It's a real psychologically defined thing called source amnesia (or source misattribution)--when you can't remember the source of a memory
Do you ever have a dream that references something that happened in a previous dream but when you wake up you're not sure if it was actually from a previous dream or if the memory of said dream was fabricated just for the most recent dream? You *feel* like you dreamt it before, but you don't remember remembering it before. It's like deja vu. I need to keep a dream journal.
I think one of the creators is named Bernice and she is okay as being used for an example. It not you unless you are that particular Bernice. And that would be weird
In this REALLY IMPORTANT EPISODE of Crash Course Psychology, ***** talks about how we remember and forget things, why our memories are fallible, and the dangers that can pose. Remembering and Forgetting - Crash Course Psychology #14
Oh I noticed one tiny mistake in the video: 6:56 The suit changed colors from black to rainbow colored, when actually, color is one of the first things to fade from memory. Anyhow, I love this series! I enjoy sitting down and getting through more and more of these videos. So far, I've completed World History and now I'm on this series!
To quote _Memento_: "Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."
It's so clever the way these videos are done: "Who forgets to buy cookies?! :O " Utilising exactly the same emotional-association idea that you discussed in the previous episode. For education! Man, I really love CrashCourse :)
That's a lot of innocent people. I wonder how many innocent people died in prison or suffered debilitating injuries (including psychological problems) because of these memory mistakes? Why did the human brain evolve to have such a bad memory anyway?
Reasonable association and memory reconstruction helps people to save cognitive space, respond quickly and adapt to new situations without the need of remembering and retrieving every bit of their past experience. It is only within a couple thousand years when society became so complex in structure and the things we experience became so packed with details, that this mechanism start to serve as a drawback (and mainly only in legal cases. In other realm of life, it is still pretty handy, like how I don't have to remember everything about my test but can put the questions together by association and reasoning). Couple thousands of years are still a really short time for evolution, so the brain are not yet very well adapted to it.
Well, the possibility of innocent people going to prison is why eyewitness testimony is a lot less valued than it was in previous years. And as already mentioned, remembering every detail isn't exactly helpful in most situations. Though, I'm not sure as to how much people would actually grow to be adapted to something like that. After all, a better memory wouldn't make an individual in the modern world more likely to survive or have children, so there wouldn't be natural selection driving the brain to become more adapted to a complex society, unless it ends up basically accidentally riding on the coattails of something else.
15kwakmatthew That might well be a point to argue. I currently don't have much evidence, but all of us who have played "chinese whisper" know how passing down stuff verbally can go wrong easily...
15kwakmatthew Well, I don't think they would be better at remember and memorizing details, given that seeing a crime is a one-off event while many oral traditions rely on rote memorization, learning the material over a long period of time. That being said, there might be techniques that could be used to help with remembering. Repeating it to yourself again and again after it happened might help, as well as trying to convert it into an accurate but semi-dramatic story. But the same problems arise where there still might be minor errors which add up, and might make the witness feel even more certain about their testimony despite any errors.
omg, that has happened to me SO many times: ~gets up to do something~ Wait, why am I here? ~goes back, sees thing that I needed to do something for~ Oh, right. ~goes to do thing again~
Chibi Prussia Well that's okay! Just keep watching the crash course videos. They have really helped me. I took some practice tests at school and score around a 4, and it's mostly thanks to these videos.
This psychology course is great for self development. I personally think there should be a mandatory introduction to psychology course taught in all highschools.
***** That doesn't find anything except Hume Lake Christian Camp things... I suggest the OP search for "BJ's restaurant pizookie", as they actually have relevant cookies---I mean, results.
"That cute animal that rolls up into a ball!" Pill Bug! I don't think he meant pill bug. Unrelated but my cat is staring at me. edit: Nope, wasn't a Pill Bug. Cat still staring...I might not make it.
I guess pill bugs can be cute. But they're really not cute when I'm constantly sweeping up their dead bodies at work. Then they're just gross and a little creepy.
"Hmm, gotta get my Math book to look at my trigonometry notes" *gets up to go get it* *literally 0.000000001 seconds later* "WhY aM i HeAr?" *goes back* *remembers math notes* "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

I'm surprised how much I remembered from the video when he delineated all the topics at the end of the video. Doing that is always helpful for me, thanks John!
Unlike a computer hard-drive; memory, at least the supposed long-term memory, is potentially infinite both in its capacity and the length of time that that capacity can hold information. As YOBA ind Inc says and the video describes, memories become distorted, adjusted and downright replaced. It is hypothesised that our neuron structure is somewhat fluid - It will change over time and through actions, be that new information or just general degradation. The brain and its ability to store information is AWESOME! Why fear AI?! Our brains are so much cooler than a computer.
Initially, It's believed that the information/skills one can obtain are limited to your lifespan(if you could live forever, it would be unlimited and if there were a cap it be over a trillion bits of information you could retain) But there are things like Retrograde/Proactive inhibition, where previously learned things can hinder your ability to learn new things or new memories/skills hindering your ability to use your already learned abilities.
8:50 75% of a non-enumerated group isn't "a lot of people." It might be 5 billion, or it might be just 3. Granted, it probably is "a lot," but that information isn't provided.
But at the same time, "a lot" varies based on what you're comparing it to, whether it's the total population, or the specific population you're referring to. 10% of the world's population is a lot of people when compared to how many people an individual interacts with, but it's not a lot when compared to, well, the world's population. While 75% of 300 people may not seem like 'a lot' when compared to the population of the United States, or to the population of the prisons, but it is a lot when compared to just the original 300 you're talking about. TL;DR/Less rambling: "A lot" is a subjective term, not an objective one. It all depends on what you're comparing it to.
So Hank, what your saying is that eye witnesses on a court stand really shouldn't be relied upon and the court system puts to much faith in an individuals memory? if so, then o.o i agree
Oh my gosh, this plays into the my fear/anxiety about false memories! It's so disturbing that what becomes our reality has so many elements that do not reflect the actual events. Is it possible to remember accurately?
your videos are amazing, you explain in 10 mints something that my professors gave complicated chapters to read. However, could you speak slower? For not native english speakers it is quite hard, sometimes i have to stop the video and hear it again.
There's a button that can slow the video speed. Bottom right on the video screen, click on the gear-shaped thingy, then click on speed. Try .5, which means "half speed". I'm used to Hank's speed-talking now, but i had to watch basically the entire Biology playlist on .5 speed. And pausing often to take notes. Worth it though!
Milo curry he me too i remember my summer were me and my brother woke up every morning to watch doctor who also me and my dad would watch the highlander tv series when it was on netflix
That's kind've ironic, considering the number one thing we're tested on in school is our memory and not the skills we possess or can enhance. If only the U.S. education system didn't rely on standardized tests. Of course, we can take this information and try and apply it to memorizing information for tests, but that would be a tricky ordeal.
One of the freakiest things one of my teachers told me is this. Her mum was driving home from a double shift in nursing, having worked 12hrs straight because there was no-one else able to do her job. She said she pulled up to traffic lights and for the life of her could not remember which colour ment go. Thank goodness it was late and no one else was driving so she got home fine. I believe her because my mum was a nurse and she told me stories of having to run from ward to ward, making u exhausted.
Thank you for making these videos! I love supplementing my psychology course with your videos because they are entertaining and educational; repetition of the concepts in the class is a great way to help the students REMEMBER! :)
I should put all Crash Course videos in a playlist....you never know when these are going to be useful.Like not failing a REALLY important test...I don't know...like your finals or something!
Good subject to cover in psychology. I was surprised when I was writing a book recently about the largest bank robbery in history at how many of the witnesses pointed out the wrong person. (One even pointed out the lawyer as being the man she had seen robbing the bank.) A lot of what was said in this episode was to blame, but also it had to do with how it was presented to them by the police. The county attorney wanted to put these three men away, so when he first showed photographs to the witnesses, he said, "These are the suspects we think did it." That was enough to manipulate their memories. Here was the most interesting part, though. The person who had the most reliable ID on the robbers was not someone who got close to them or saw them for the longest. It was the man who identified the hands of one of the bank robbers. Turns out that a memory is more solidly burned into the mind when some form of distress is associated with it. In this case, the bank robber was holding a gun, and as such, he had a more detailed and accurate memory of the man's hand than anyone had of any other part of him.
Having just(an hour ago) been scanning through the videos of this series, I was subject to this effect. I remembered the begging and where I stopped much better than the middle.
an interesting thing i remember about forgetting: there is a process in your brain that makes you forget...on purpose. some people are born without the ability to forget and lead very unfortunate lives because of it (someone mentions a book and suddenly you are reliving the memories of having read a game of thrones....all of your memories of having read a game of thrones) the inability to forget is apparently not as nice as it sounds (though scientists are working on a way to harness this make it easier to remember certain things)
LOVED THIS! Impressively, or perhaps worryingly, this covered everything my health psychology lecturer covered at medical school in an HOUR. Your information was better organized; more concise and thus easier to schematize. The only missing bits were Attkinson and Shiffrins (1968) Multi store memory model; The Working Memory Model Bradley and Hitch (1974) and Millers (1972) limits on capacity of working memory (7+/-2).
FOR MY OWN BENEFIT *Priming(memoryless memory) exposer to one memory influences your other memories *Mood congruent- when a mood helps you retrieve a memory *Serial position effect- your more likely to remember things first and last on a list then in-between *Storage decay- natural forgetting overtime *Proactive interference- old learning gets in the way of knew learning *Retroactive interference- knew learning gets in the way of old learning *Misinformation- post information of an event influences what actually get
This episode is a perfect example of how the justice system baffles me. In the court room, eyewitness testimony is looked at as a very strong form of evidence, but in the sciences eyewitness testimony is probably the lowest form of evidence. Imagine trying to prove a scientific theory and your main evidence is because I saw it, you would be laughed at until you brought back some charts or data to back up your hypothesis. In the courtroom however, eyewitness testimony is considered one of the strongest forms of evidence, and no one even seems to consider how easily it is to trick our senses, or how inaccurate memories can be, not even mentioning the person possibly having motive to portray things a certain way or strait up lie.
I have an app on my phone (so does my mom) called "Out of Milk" where you can make a shopping list on your phone. I'm sooooooo luck to have that because if I didn't, I would TOTALLY forget almost everything on that list! Thanks for telling me that +Hank Green!
I feel like Miley is becoming irrelevant and wants to do things to get more attention, which is working in a way, but she could do better than that. What happened to the old Miley?!
oh wow, that's embarrassing, well in my defense I was watching a Michael Buckley (aka What the Buck) video - have no idea how the comment ended up on this video. My phone must have freaked out. Maybe I just forgot to switch the video over before commenting? See? It all makes sense now...... or something.

Can someone riddle me this please. I have noticed recently that I find it hard to structure my sentences when talking in person and find it difficult to say the appropriate word that goes with the sentence. I have never experienced this before, it's only been in the last 2 years when I started University and I can get stuck so easily in a conversation because I can't think of the word and it becomes awkward because I then use a word that doesn't make sense :( is this normal?
"We are all largely the products of the stories that we tell ourselves."
That is an incredible line. Is that a famous quote, or did Hank come up with that? Either way, it's excellent.

XRenimages but he doesn't always read it word for word he throws his own little things in there sometimes
prismaticcrow "the past is just a story we tell ourselves" is actually a quote from the movie HER.
didn't the script write come up with that?
his name is Leonidas!
never forget!
yeah I remembered that too, Im pretty sure it's committed to my long term memory now
His name is Robert Paulson, his name is Robert Paulson....
Robert Lyness In death a member of project mayhem has a name his name is Robert Paulson.
867-5309 I remember it 4 years later ;) lol jk i watched the video for the first time earlier today
What's his name again?
Okay, is it just me oooor? I frequently mix up real memories and dreams. Like, I'll think a dream really happened or, more commonly, something that really happened was just a dream. I use to hid it because I thought it was embarrassing but know I just ask someone I know, like, "Okay, did this really happen?" So, yeah. Is it just me?

It is honestly mid blowing how far psychology and neuroscience has gotten in the last ten years.
Admit it, we're doing last minute studying for the AP exam on Monday.

Can you imagine going to jail for stealing bananas? lol
Yes, actually.
elenaki zou they are chom choms
Me in prison to cellmate: "So what you in for?"
Cellmate: "I killed a man. What 'bout you?"
Me: "I stole a crate of bananas."
*Cellmate inches away*
or indeed for not stealing chom choms!
This is why exams can be annoying. Memory over knowledge
Again with the Bernice!
It's a psychological experiment
It's always Bernice XD
Nine, get your Tardis and your bananas out of my head!
lol!!
YEAH!!!
Being a whovian and watching these videos... makes me remember them even more.....
0:31 Nice detail by having a The Fault In Our Stars fan as a potential thief in the left side! LOL!!! ;D
psych mid term in 2 days haha thanks crash course!
psych exam tomorrow
So who did the crime?
I NEED ANSWERS!
It was the butler all along.
It was Hank Green!
I flipping knew it, the deviant git!
IT WAS THE DOG
Dank 420 catacombs of the mind indeed...
Damn I can't believe Beyonce is out here stealing bananas after all the success.

Dying is easy. Being human is hard.
i do hank i forget abut cookies
I'm so sorry.
its okay i like cake better fudge cake

"whut?"
WHO SAID THAT?! BEGONE DISEMBODIED VOICES FROM BEYOND!
This episode hits home too hard :/ especially that hello kitty pen incident....
Damn you Bernice always talking about me behind my back and convicting innocent people.
I love crash course psychology, I've always interested in it and it teach me way more than what I could learn from school 😄
I feel like I'm only passing pathology bc I watch these over and over! Thanks so much for having them, an excellent tool to go with my lecture notes.
"That cute animal that rolls up into a ball!"
Pill Bug!
I don't think he meant pill bug.
Unrelated but my cat is staring at me.

I guess pill bugs can be cute. But they're really not cute when I'm constantly sweeping up their dead bodies at work. Then they're just gross and a little creepy.
at first i thought hedgehog but then i was like "Hard back? uhp, nope not a hedgehog"

I am actually considering a bachelor's in psychology. :o
happy ap test season everyone
AP psych exam in two days, binge watching all these videos e_e
damn you chom choms thieves
Came to comments for that
is it possible to have so much memory you can't remember anymore?
You're more likely to start overwriting old memories by new ones.
Unlike a computer hard-drive; memory, at least the supposed long-term memory, is potentially infinite both in its capacity and the length of time that that capacity can hold information.
As YOBA ind Inc says and the video describes, memories become distorted, adjusted and downright replaced. It is hypothesised that our neuron structure is somewhat fluid - It will change over time and through actions, be that new information or just general degradation.
The brain and its ability to store information is AWESOME! Why fear AI?! Our brains are so much cooler than a computer.
Father Aardvark true that.
Initially, It's believed that the information/skills one can obtain are limited to your lifespan(if you could live forever, it would be unlimited and if there were a cap it be over a trillion bits of information you could retain) But there are things like Retrograde/Proactive inhibition, where previously learned things can hinder your ability to learn new things or new memories/skills hindering your ability to use your already learned abilities.
Alejandro Florez wow, That's really interesting!
that intro...missed a "there's always money in the banana stand" reference
8:50 75% of a non-enumerated group isn't "a lot of people." It might be 5 billion, or it might be just 3.
Granted, it probably is "a lot," but that information isn't provided.
Your right- but it's a little over 200.
But at the same time, "a lot" varies based on what you're comparing it to, whether it's the total population, or the specific population you're referring to. 10% of the world's population is a lot of people when compared to how many people an individual interacts with, but it's not a lot when compared to, well, the world's population.

Here was the most interesting part, though. The person who had the most reliable ID on the robbers was not someone who got close to them or saw them for the longest. It was the man who identified the hands of one of the bank robbers. Turns out that a memory is more solidly burned into the mind when some form of distress is associated with it. In this case, the bank robber was holding a gun, and as such, he had a more detailed and accurate memory of the man's hand than anyone had of any other part of him.
at this point, i'm wondering who the heck Bernice is???
So why do we still use eyewitnesses in court
I'm totally gonna forget this is a few days
2:05, remember sherlock's mind palace?
You made me drop my iPad on my face because of that fantastic reference!
And the Doctor's mind place too...
That's what came to my mind too !!!
FYI: There is a great TED talk given by Elizabeth Loftus, check it out: www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory
Thanks!
It's my mom's birth day?!
SHIT!
Who else is here before the ap test?
Having just(an hour ago) been scanning through the videos of this series, I was subject to this effect. I remembered the begging and where I stopped much better than the middle.
an interesting thing i remember about forgetting: there is a process in your brain that makes you forget...on purpose. some people are born without the ability to forget and lead very unfortunate lives because of it (someone mentions a book and suddenly you are reliving the memories of having read a game of thrones....all of your memories of having read a game of thrones)
the inability to forget is apparently not as nice as it sounds (though scientists are working on a way to harness this make it easier to remember certain things)
Just found your channel & love it! Have a big psych test today and it's nice to brush up with these videos! Thanks so much!
The French/Spanish memory interference! So many times I've said, "C'est muy bien. Wait..."
LOVED THIS! Impressively, or perhaps worryingly, this covered everything my health psychology lecturer covered at medical school in an HOUR. Your information was better organized; more concise and thus easier to schematize. The only missing bits were Attkinson and Shiffrins (1968) Multi store memory model; The Working Memory Model Bradley and Hitch (1974) and Millers (1972) limits on capacity of working memory (7+/-2).
FOR MY OWN BENEFIT
*Priming(memoryless memory) exposer to one memory influences your other memories
*Mood congruent- when a mood helps you retrieve a memory
*Serial position effect- your more likely to remember things first and last on a list then in-between
*Storage decay- natural forgetting overtime
*Proactive interference- old learning gets in the way of knew learning
*Retroactive interference- knew learning gets in the way of old learning
*Misinformation- post information of an event influences what actually get
There's always money in the Banana stand
Arrested Development ? xD
I need to make Hank shouting "ARMADILLO" my phone notification sound
Is that the same as fishing stories where people supposedly caught the world record tuna after telling it 5 times?
This episode is a perfect example of how the justice system baffles me. In the court room, eyewitness testimony is looked at as a very strong form of evidence, but in the sciences eyewitness testimony is probably the lowest form of evidence. Imagine trying to prove a scientific theory and your main evidence is because I saw it, you would be laughed at until you brought back some charts or data to back up your hypothesis. In the courtroom however, eyewitness testimony is considered one of the strongest forms of evidence, and no one even seems to consider how easily it is to trick our senses, or how inaccurate memories can be, not even mentioning the person possibly having motive to portray things a certain way or strait up lie.
Can Hank and John just be my professors for everything?
Im pressed that I was able to remember it was an armadillo before he said it 😅
WHERE DOES HE MAKE HIS ANIMATIONS!?!?!?!?! THEY'RE SO AWESOME AND OP!!!
The animations are done by Thought Cafe. It's mentioned in the credits at the end.
Hi I guess? *****
*****
YEAH!!!!!
Thank you! My psychology teachers aren't very interesting so this is a big help haha
One of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Great scrips, presentation, and design.
Keep up the amazing work
I saw the beginning and was like "THAT BANANA THIEF SHOULD GO TO JAIL DIRTY THIEVING JERK" and then I realized that it wasn't a real story
Ap psych exam in 20 mins... Last minute studying
Nisarg Patel hoped you passed
Same
How did it go?
I have an app on my phone (so does my mom) called "Out of Milk" where you can make a shopping list on your phone. I'm sooooooo luck to have that because if I didn't, I would TOTALLY forget almost everything on that list! Thanks for telling me that +Hank Green!
Why would he steal all those chom choms? o.O
Doctor Who seems to be traveling throughout of Hank's brain. Kind of makes sense
Why has Bernice changed race?
Was she ever a different race?.... Maybe you aren't recalling the memory correctly. *twilight zone music plays*
Dude.
Cage Your Heart Dude. Left Behind - _why?_
I'm sorry, man. ;-;
Everyone is Bernice now!
These videos should be called "The Adventures of Bernice"
I feel like Miley is becoming irrelevant and wants to do things to get more attention, which is working in a way, but she could do better than that. What happened to the old Miley?!
I... uh... sorry what?
Wrong channel dude...
He heh heh...LOL:)
oh wow, that's embarrassing, well in my defense I was watching a Michael Buckley (aka What the Buck) video - have no idea how the comment ended up on this video. My phone must have freaked out. Maybe I just forgot to switch the video over before commenting? See? It all makes sense now...... or something.
schnapps77
Blame it on the phone, post to unknown,
Blame it on the app, made you feel a sap,
Blame it on the I-I-I-I-I-Internet, blame it on the I-I-I-I-I-Internet.
I suck at memorizing. Thats why Im a chem major instead of a bio major. Concepts practically memorize themselves...
A man is a sum of his memories, a timelord even more so.
4.3 million subscribers all gettin ready for the ap test aka the achievement test....if u in psych u may kno what i meant lol
SO WHO STOLE THE BANANAS????!!!!
Can someone riddle me this please.
I have noticed recently that I find it hard to structure my sentences when talking in person and find it difficult to say the appropriate word that goes with the sentence. I have never experienced this before, it's only been in the last 2 years when I started University and I can get stuck so easily in a conversation because I can't think of the word and it becomes awkward because I then use a word that doesn't make sense :( is this normal?
who is Bernice? she always gets mentioned in his videos... Is she a friend or it is some kind of joke or a character they came up with?
rachel green I know right? i was thinking the same thing for weeks =))
+Rachelle Hidalgo So do you know who it is? It's driving me mad.
i dont know man, still thinking about it every night.. hahah lol
+rachel green Bernice is the ficticious character that witnessed the Banana theft.
Diane Zaharis
theft? what? when? how?
