Remembering and Forgetting: Crash Course Psychology #14

Who's this Bernice and why does Hank have such a crush on her?

so, who stole the bananas...

that's not a banana that's a chomchom

am i tripping balls or did i just see a tiny man run across the lamp?

Tell me how you missed a golden opportunity to say the man stole the bananas and “split”

'We are all largely the product of the stories we tell ourselves'
Man that was deep XD

I swear if it weren't for these crash courses, I wouldn't survive Psych. Love it! Keep it coming!

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.

Im pressed that I was able to remember it was an armadillo before he said it 😅

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.

Hands Down Best Channel!

“Armadillooooooo”

I really dislike how you said at the end that Bernice is a nice lady. She almost caused an innocent barista to go to jail. She's not a nice lady. We are not defined by the intentions of our actions, if that was so, Hitler would be no worse than any exterminator, because his intentions were the same. We judge Hitler based on the consequences of his actions. The barista was arrested, taken to prison, and dragged through a criminal trial where he had to pay for lawyers. Bernice is a horrible person. You don't get to get away from the morality of your actions just because you didn't mean any harm

Why is it always Bernice?

Also, wasn't it chomchomps???

The French/Spanish memory interference! So many times I've said, "C'est muy bien. Wait..."

Trying to learn as much as about memory so I can prob one of my friends to help them

Best crash course yet!!

retroactive learning, so that’s what that is. i sometimes can’t fluently speak my native language after learning to speak english.

i am really starting to hate bernice

This happens to me all the time I try very hard to record things in mind but I forget D:, now give me a solution of how to fix/improve/defrag it so I can use my memory more efficiently and access my stored data like a Google search like in a matter of micro milliseconds :D

Hank: ... And then you forget and you don't have any toilet paper.
Me, watching this in 2020: Are you sure that's why?

Who's here cause they're in a Psyc class?

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

the angler fish on the side table!

I liked when he said cookies

this maybe explains gossips

YOU USED THE FORBIDDEN WORD, I DEMAND REUPLOAD, YOU MAY NOT CALL CHOM CHOMS THE B WORD AGAIN, OR I SHALL CRASH YOU

"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"

So why do we still use eyewitnesses in court

I get cookies even when they aren’t on my list...

Got that michael jackson reference

I assume he does not actually speak like that in normal conversation, and he may be trying to be cute or funny or make the video interesting but he just makes it painful to watch. I'd rather listen and watch someone in monotone just tell the story, but my professor makes me watch this guy.

So what are Flashbulb memories?

Then What About Mr. Bean Style Of Catching The Theif , Using A Knife 😂😂

psych exam tomorrow

long live crash course!

thank you

I sincerely hope Bernice is alive at the end of this course

at this point, i'm wondering who the heck Bernice is???

"cookies or no cookies" that's the question!!!!

The most important thing I learned: armadillos have leprosy.

geek !

i rember!

Not cell level science. More like general talk

When Hank talked about the animal that curls up into a ball I straight up remmebered a Pokemon named Sandshrew of all things instead of the actual animal first.

THE KITCHEN PART WAS SOOOO TRUE

Is there a Chinese version of this episode
