Hey kind advice from a student who is actually nobody from nowhere If you really want to become a psychologist then ask a lot of questions from your parents A lot means a lot Because Being a student from a nobody's family I know how great it is to have your parents as your teachers
im so entranced by his lectures - they’re so thought-inducing, u can rlly tell that he does what he does because he loves it. so glad to have this series act as an eye-opener to the basics of psychology as an aspiring psychologist!
52:55 you can tell by his laugh that he genuinely enjoys talking about what he teaches. Being confident in what you teach, and engaging enough to elicit a laugh from your students when you slip a joke in shows a lot about how good of a professor he is!
This is a prerequisite to understanding the human brain course taught by Nancy Kanwisher and I'm enjoying him enormously. He's a terrific teacher. I worked in Neuroscience research for almost 20 years and the stuff we knew then is so primitive now.
I agree with you fully. It is the same thing with using I.Q tests as an accurate measure of intelligence. Factors such as mood, concentration, energy levels etc., play a role in how well you do on the test. If such an experiment were carried out, we would have to keep these factors in mind and take the results with a grain of salt. However, such an experiment would give us an insight into the learning process of the student and help further research into helping students learn better.
Also IQ only measures a very limited aspect of intelligence. Theres other things way more powerful and meaningful such as emotional control, social awareness, grit, the ability to recognize the intentions of others and see past outward rhetoric And when it comes to mastery of a field of study, nothing compares to passion and persistent focus
@@skybirdnomad hey there! I wrote that comment 10 years ago and wow, so much has changed. I've finished grad school and am now in a career related to psychology and philosophy. Funny how that works haha. I think IQ is entirely a sham and it is frontloaded with a bunch of classist stuff.
I love how relaxed Gabrieli is, and seems like a friendly guy. Paul Bloom knows his shit and has a few funny moments, but he doesn’t seem as approachable as Gabrieli.
At 15:15 you have to add in the decision time for choosing which key to press. The best way to gauge the reaction time to color is to press the button ( only one ) if it is red and not if it is green . Then you have the true reaction time.
So grateful for these MIT open courses, thank you! On a side note, we should stop judging and giving responsibility to people (including ourselves). If a crime or a misdeed is committed, a society should act to protect its citizens by limiting the perpetrator ability to do it again (through jail, hospitals, therapy etc..). To judge is in our human nature, yet I think we would better put that off
“Well he did X how come I can’t do X” “Well he did X and got a slap in the wrist / got away with it, I bet I can too” “Well he did X and got caught, but he doesn’t know what I do so I’ll get away with it” “Well he did X perfectly and still got caught - but he doesn’t have my luck” ^ 31:32 here’s what I think goes through the mind of a person who sees X criminal / illegal / immoral / unethical activity and performs the activity. I believe someone who was already going to do X is more likely to do it and that those people are members of society therefor I agree that X happens, you’ll see more X occur. Now, what’s implied is: “if YOU see X, YOURE likely to replicate it” That I cannot agree with. If it is adjusted to: “if you see X, you are more likely to do another version of X” I can see how that would work. I might not murder someone after seeing a murder, but I might give ‘em the cold shoulder - for me, acting as though you’re dead is the equivalent of killing you…. Psychology is fun 😊🎉
Penswordking You are right, this result suggest that both effects work to some degree. Men are more likely to say "yes" in general, but when the women are rotating, the two effects cancel each other out.
Excellent. Thank you, MIT and Professor Gabrieli. It would be interesting to conduct an experiment that tests the overall quality (in terms of a rating) of the same lecture viewed online versus the lecture experienced physically - i.e. a classroom experience. In which situation are people more likely to 'learn' and, therefore, rate the lecture accordingly?
thank you very much and very interesting final point. i wondered about the speed dating statistics. To me the graphs imply that the person at the desk is more selective but still that men are less selective then women. as the rotating women are still less selective then the rotating men. Even if sitting at the desk makes you more selective.
1:09:00 I am not sure how applicable the differences between praise for working hard and praise for good work is to the working labourer. They are no longer a 5th grader, there are many more factors to their behaviour to consider...
I understand Environmental effects and how some people grow with the mental pressures they believe is the truth. Even adults from my experiences are still unable to choose ethically to help solve or conclude correctly in many cases.
I'm always looking for new interesting lectures on Psychology/Philosophy, please let me know if you guys have any recommendations, would be highly appreciated
At the 33:00 mark I stopped the video, shook my head, cradled my forehead with both hands and had a slight panic attack. I've always denied the premise that an individual's behaviour is a product of their environment, I can't refute evidence though. How can anyone abandon logic and reasoning just because those around you do it as well? I know it's just loitering, on the surface. But it's applicable to all negative behaviour. I guess when I was asked as a child if a friend would jump off a cliff would I do it as well, I was being honest when I replied no. I guess I'm hopelessly searching for a reason to make me believe that the human species actually serves a purpose on a global scale, it's exhausting.
Yes, all behavior is a result of gene-environment interactions. Every event is predetermined by antecedent conditions (environmental and biological). We don't serve an objective purpose, besides to survive and reproduce.
Maybe, in the speed dating example, the stationary position primes the desk bound partners to see themselves as judges, or managers; and the rotating position primes people to see themselves as applicants/contestants/ defendants? Could that be why the rotating partners ate more likely to say yes than the stationary ones?
(cont) On the other hand, if you feel that it's just part of your studies and you have to be there you might not be as interested. Plus, since this is MIT, I suspect many have other majors and might just have needed a course to fill some quota and in fact aren't as interested as people who actively sought the lectures out online. In short, I think there are so many factors at play that the effect of the experience of sitting in a classroom is negligible. I could be wrong of course.
In relation to the warmth promoting interpersonal warmth study, more recent studies suggest that the original study does not replicate. Ex: Lynott et al. 2014.
I am glad this is the same dude in the previous video I watched. I like this dude. Kinda annoying how he makes jokes and laughs to himself. Still he captivates myself, and makes it interesting
Yes he really does need to control those outbursts of mild hysteria. If he just kept his voice at a lower register whilst doing it that would be an improvement. Not a difficult problem to overcome.
Absolutely. I would imagine we can use Psychology to better our understanding of the people we interact with. Like he said, we all are amateur psychologists :).
HAHAHAH... I couldn't fall asleep at all in this interesting lecture from the beginning till the end with those funny experiments and statistic analysis. For the issue of brain injury, how come I still can't remember the missing page of my crucial memory in my life book at all when I got brain injury-ABT by neurological explanation. This is still a myth for me to search............ STF
Perhaps I'm not getting something but why is he saying that the evolutionary explanation is eliminated in the date selection experiment? Based on those graphs it seems to me that it went from being very asymmetrical to being about the same, which still means that there is an effect that males are less selective. If it was entirely due to who gets up and who stays put then we would expect the reversal of the trend not the disappearance of it. This just shows there are more factors at play.
He fumbled on the rotation dating thing at about 56:00. You'd need an exact mirror of the data from when men rotate when the women rotate in order to prove movement is the only factor. John would probably do a face-palm if someone pointed it out to him.
No, he was right it undermines the evolutionary psychology theory just because the stats came out even with the women rotating. The evolutionary psychology hypothesis is null. However, in the next slide he implied that there might be some cultural factors to take into account for that as well.
Now my perceptions all wake up back from Lecture 6 to this Lecture 2 for audit this class. Not again. what is going on most of the student in MIT with no responds and answers at all toward this cool Prof.'s question? Kind a disappointed for the student sitting in such top-notch lecture in the world....What a shame and waste!!.......... STF...................
I find it *_kind of interesting_* that, having just asked the rhetorical question "How do you know what is true?" and discussed the concept of authority as a source of truth, around 11:24 prof. Gabrieli proceeds to state that there exists "-- procedures and so on that the medical community believes is true, but there's not much scientific evidence behind it, but *_they have to use it every day_* ." Why would they *_have to_* do that? Why does prof. Gabrieli use that modal expression presumably without even thinking about it? Does he *_have to_* say that? More generally, I would be most interested in listening to prof. Gabrieli (or another _authoritative_ person :P) to discuss 1. What processes have lead to the introduction of authority-related modal atoms to natural language? 2. What are the effects of their use to the individual, to communities and to the society in general?
I'm wondering if he's referring to some medical procedures that are experimental, and have limited scientific evidence to prove their safety or effectiveness, but nonetheless, are the only option for potentially saving a patient.
Wow. How sad that the first video has over 260k views and 1.8k likes, but the second one has less than a third. So many undedicated people in this world.
I don't think he was saying that it is causal, just observing the data that he has been given and making an uneducated guess...I agree that there is more variables involved with coming to the conclusion mentioned, but it does not necessarily make it a wrong one, just one with little evidence to support it.
So if people can act “weird” during experiments and a lot of the subjects come from a specific pool of people, How many Psychological discoveries are we missing out on?
So if I somehow understand this lecture, there is little certainty in our classifications and assumptions, and most importantly, our typical studies based of samples are contaminated with flaws and bias and hence suffer from desired expectations design. As if all the above weren’t enough to question every study finding and methodical presumptions such as evolutionary psychology, we must also select a representative sample for the population under investigation. Is there such a thing such as a representative sample? Of course inferential statistics says yes purely based on mathematical models and computations of degree of confidence and probability, but those models in their very essence disregard the distracting details and only make sense in the most abstract fashion. Summing up all the obstacles facing psychological studies, we must account for the accumulative effect of all possible errors compromising the final findings. The best way to be sure is to be unsure, or so was said.
The Clofibrate study (clearly exposes those w/ zero baseline knowledge in clinical -biostat ) is a classic elementary bias; lead-time , solution: measure back -end survival for severity of disease, or arrange according to severity of disease. ‘Same as placebo” should be enough hint.. of course it has to be randomized (or its equivalent), at least double-blind RCT (minimum standard)
“The broken window theory” may sound like a metaphors, but represents a super bug reality, which is a direct consequence of poverty and ruthless capitalism. There are people who are naturally more equipped to face the challenges and demands of life than others. Nevertheless, there are those who fall behind and in need of public economic planning and welfare. We are not exaggerating if we say that poverty is behind crimes, disease, mental illnesses, teenage delinquency, suicide and illiteracy. On the other hand, ruthless capitalism is behind political tension, corruption, war, pollution, economic collapse and failed response to pandemics.
back in the day there was a stigma on mental health and stress so thats why it is lower back in the day same for men having less problems cause they have to supress it
Hahaha... I couldn't agree with what Prof's said about on the average the current uni kids are all-time high level of self-report mental stress than the same kid at the same age, education level back in 25 yrs ago. Don't know that is because the monetary stress is much than before or material temptations more than before or the education level of the average people lower than the one when I was young. Really intriguing to think about it. But again now entering into middle age, again still more grumpy old men I ever bump with lower level job and education. So again it is intriguing to think about this prof's original question..................STF................/
yeah, crime was no longer a big issue in NYC and major cities back in 2011. what a world of difference reversing of some of those policies might have made?
Im highly considering going back to college for psychology. I am curious, if anyone can answer this, are these videos in order(as in is the second video literally from the second day of class) ? Just trying to get a head start before actually returning to college(possibly trying to to use clep to test out of intro to psych at odu if I can).
Thank you . A question pls. If a student is not performing well, and parents links this to a possible thinking that the kid brain is busy to finish studies in order it go back to play , would it benefit to retain the game during school days ? This is the only way to the kid will stop being obstructed while studying ? Kind regards
I am sitting under a tree in a village in India and studding psychology, taught by a professor teaching in MIT. Thank you internet.

maybe its me but he comes off as really love Psychology. Best kind of people to learn from.
My old psych teacher was like this. Coming vack 10 years to relearn and it's refreshing to see someone talk about this subject so ecstatically
this is an amazing time we live in. Knowledge is free and available for the taking. all we have to do is stop and pick it up.
These lectures have been so helpful to me as a teenager hoping to become a psychologist like my parents one day! Thank you Professor Gabrieli!
Hey kind advice from a student who is actually nobody from nowhere
If you really want to become a psychologist then ask a lot of questions from your parents
A lot means a lot
Because Being a student from a nobody's family I know how great it is to have your parents as your teachers
hlw,bro did you fulfill your dream
This guy loves what he does
Until he's the patient being worsen
I love his quirky demeanors.
Yes, like his ahah aha aha laugh
Me too
Yes my favorite
They make him really intresting right?

“Well he did X how come I can’t do X”

Very easy to answer, the online version is better, you can rewind, watch the difficult parts over and over,google stuff,etc.
Excellent. Thank you, MIT and Professor Gabrieli.

The Clofibrate study (clearly exposes those w/ zero baseline knowledge in clinical -biostat ) is a classic elementary bias; lead-time , solution: measure back -end survival for severity of disease, or arrange according to severity of disease. ‘Same as placebo” should be enough hint.. of course it has to be randomized (or its equivalent), at least double-blind RCT (minimum standard)
Some chill Linear Algebra in the back
Great professor 👨🏫
Interesting and fun lecture. Thanks to the organizations, the team, and the professor!
“The broken window theory” may sound like a metaphors, but represents a super bug reality, which is a direct consequence of poverty and ruthless capitalism. There are people who are naturally more equipped to face the challenges and demands of life than others. Nevertheless, there are those who fall behind and in need of public economic planning and welfare. We are not exaggerating if we say that poverty is behind crimes, disease, mental illnesses, teenage delinquency, suicide and illiteracy. On the other hand, ruthless capitalism is behind political tension, corruption, war, pollution, economic collapse and failed response to pandemics.
Loved the last part of the lecture! So true!!!
1:02:38 why are they showing a picture of my parents fighting?
This is similar to the Trivium and quadrivium method of discernment to determine what is true or untrue…
back in the day there was a stigma on mental health and stress so thats why it is lower back in the day same for men having less problems cause they have to supress it
Hahaha... I couldn't agree with what Prof's said about on the average the current uni kids are all-time high level of self-report mental stress than the same kid at the same age, education level back in 25 yrs ago. Don't know that is because the monetary stress is much than before or material temptations more than before or the education level of the average people lower than the one when I was young. Really intriguing to think about it. But again now entering into middle age, again still more grumpy old men I ever bump with lower level job and education. So again it is intriguing to think about this prof's original question..................STF................/
yeah, crime was no longer a big issue in NYC and major cities back in 2011. what a world of difference reversing of some of those policies might have made?
Im highly considering going back to college for psychology. I am curious, if anyone can answer this, are these videos in order(as in is the second video literally from the second day of class) ? Just trying to get a head start before actually returning to college(possibly trying to to use clep to test out of intro to psych at odu if I can).
Yes...
Dude this guy is the man!!
When he said "and I'm a late marrier..", I lost it xD
Thank you .
A question pls.
If a student is not performing well, and parents links this to a possible thinking that the kid brain is busy to finish studies in order it go back to play , would it benefit to retain the game during school days ? This is the only way to the kid will stop being obstructed while studying ?
Kind regards
