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.

I love his quirky demeanors.

This guy loves what he does

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!

I’m 13, and listening to this professor made me want to study psychology when I’m older.

I love this class. God bless the internet and MIT. Beautiful, thnks professor G!

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!

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!

I am studying Phycology from Kenya and I think this professor is awesome! He makes it so understable. Thanks MIT.

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.

I can listen to him telling all kinds of psychology stories forever, so contagiously happy and passionate! Thanks MIT! Thanks Professor John Gabrieli!

i like this professor. Those stats are wonderfully interesting

this is the most interesting psychology lecture ive ever listened to. so good.

love MIT and sometimes I wonder ..what. wonderful thing internet is ....blessed !!

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.

He is a good professor. He is good at his job, he cares and it shows he wants you to truly learn.

He is honestly the most likeable teacher i have ever seen

I'm taking this course this summer, so happy i could have an idea what this course is going to be about thx MIT

I’m literally 13 and in love with these lectures this man is so amazing at his job and you can tell he wants to be there teaching 🐸

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.

Terimakasih banyak. Saya di Klirong, Kebumen, Indonesia bisa menonton dan belajar banyak sekali dari seorang MIT professor

The bright rat or dull rat explains a lot and gave me insight on a personal issue thank you so much

This man loves what he does makes me want to study psychology more and more

The linear algebra professor ought to erase the board at the end of the lecture.

I just read Freakanomics. It was a very good book, I do reccomend it and it was awesome seeing it referenced in this video

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

Thank you for sharing this. I really love psychology and I think to enrol soon.

I can’t thank you enough for this upload❤️✌🏼

Loved the last part of the lecture! So true!!!

Thank you for the free class!

I love this Proffesor he's so charismatic and he has a funny laugh!

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.

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.

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

Glad to come acrossed with these in my algorithm.

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 so much, your input has been invaluable, in my personal views.

Great lecture, thank you John.

I don't think these people are very friendly but I still love them.

Thank you professor and MIT, amazing course

His laughter is like Ross from friends.

thank you so much for this course. im loving it. Can anyone tell me what the textbook is for this class?

thank you for this great resource!

Dude this guy is the man!!

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?

wow...thank you so much...forever

The example of littering is probably related to people conforming to the perceived norms of acceptable behaviour.

This professor is beyond amazing. I'd love to hang out with him fr haha

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.

(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.

I really liked his way of talking and smile too :)

bro i wake up and look at my history to see part 1 and 2 fully watched through the night

I cant help seeing the linear algebra scribbled in the background

Bravo, Dr. Gabrieli - I enjoyed the lecture very much :) - Milner Benedict III

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

Interesting and fun lecture. Thanks to the organizations, the team, and the professor!

Fantastic lecture.

what an intelligent man !

Thank you Internet.

cool i love psychology

This Lecture is even good For Personality development

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.

Some chill Linear Algebra in the back

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.

This professor is fabulous. I would have married him in a heartbeat.

Great professor 👨‍🏫

I really love psychology and I think to enrol soon

Great so far

In relation to the money study, more recent studies suggest that the original study does not replicate. Ex: Rohrer, Pahsler and Harris. 2019.

At 16:19 there is an error. it says John B. Watson lived from 1978 - 1958. Should it be 1978?

Thank you very much sir...

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).

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...................

5:19 the man is not guilty yet he should be held in a safe area until the tumor is successfully removed.

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?

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

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

A movie version of this lecture would be played by Jeff Goldblum

Typo at 16:25. John Watson was born in 1878 not 1978.

with the practical issues which are discussed in this lecture with the current research methods, how good are the results of the psychology researches? how are they considered reliable?

¿How is it used the vectorial product in psychology?

Thanks!

I like this guy!!!

i wish my professors were like that :)

who else fell asleep on YT and woke up to this video XD no one.. just me, yeah thought so

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...

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.

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.

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.

Awesome.

Thanks

Yes now (2023) we know social media is bad specially for teenagers

Well, most of those who watch it online, do it because they find it intresting. You need to put the mentallity into the equation.

Thank you very much

1:06:36 the best part

as an aeronautical engineering student sometimes i think how I can consubstantiate this major with that :) any idea????

He told them students are more stressed and less empathetic before they filled out their questionnaire. How will that affect their answers?
