• Commented on Cults. Are they really as strange as they seem?
  I hadn't realized how vague the definition of cults was! If thats the case, then a cult could be classified as anything from PETA to MADD.... Interesting, they should probably clear that up ha...
• Posted The Education Paradigm to Section 24 PSY 1001pub
  I know this video is a little longer than the others, but it is very thought provoking. This animation was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, a world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient...
• Posted What does a goatee say about me? to Section 24 PSY 1001pub
  This is a VERY interesting video about the assessment of a person's character by looking at their face or body. However, you probably only want to watch 0:52-2:44... the rest isn't really psychology related. I love this! This relates to...

• Posted "What a Hilarious Misunderstanding" to Section 24 PSY 1001pub
  So as I was reviewing memory in Chapter 7, I remembered a very funny song by "Flight of the Conchords" that I think captured the essence of "implicit" vs. "explicit" memory. However, before I go on with the rest of...

  Can you all just do me a favor? Can you just grab your textbook, open up to page. 381, and read that little blirb on the bottom picture? Just read it. Did you do it? Did you smack yourself on...
• Posted Spanking: How Does the "Rod" Translate? to Section 24 PSY 1001pub

• Commented on The Memory of Smells
  Whats also interesting is I've noticed how sometimes when I eat something (like "grandma's cooking"), I get a sense of being younger, as if I'm in the place I first formed the memory. Here's a nice clip from Ratatouille to...
