Discovering Psychology:Updated Edition
A video instructional series on introductory psychology for college
and high school classrooms and adult learners; 26 half-hour video
programs.
Highlighting major new developments in the field, this updated
edition of Discovering Psychology offers high school and college
students, and teachers of psychology at all levels, an overview of
historic and current theories of human behavior. Stanford
University professor and author Philip Zimbardo narrates as leading
researchers, practitioners, and theorists probe the mysteries of
the mind and body. Based on extensive investigation and
authoritative scholarship, this introductory course in psychology
features demonstrations, classic experiments and simulations,
current research, documentary footage, and computer animation. This
series is also valuable for teachers seeking to review the subject
matter.
1. Past, Present, and Promise
This introduction presents psychology as a science at the
crossroads of many fields of knowledge, from philosophy and
anthropology to biochemistry and artificial intelligence. With Dr.
Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard University and Dr. Emanuel Donchin of
the University of Illinois. Updated.
2. Understanding Research
This program examines the scientific method and the ways in which
data are collected and analyzed — in the lab and in the field —
with an emphasis on sharpening critical thinking in the
interpretation of research findings. With Dr. Christina Maslach of
the University of California, Berkeley, and Dr. Daryl Bem of
Cornell University. Updated.
3. The Behaving Brain
This program discusses the structure and composition of the brain:
how neurons function, how information is collected and transmitted,
and how chemical reactions determine every thought, feeling, and
action. With Dr. John Gabrieli of Stanford University and Dr. Mieke
Verfaellie of Veterans Medical Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Updated.
4. The Responsive Brain
How the brain controls behavior and, conversely, how behavior and
environment influence the brain’s structure and functioning are the
focus of this program. With Dr. Michael Meaney of McGill University
and Dr. Russell Fernald of Stanford University. Updated.
5. The Developing Child
This program traces the nature vs. nurture debate, revealing how
developmental psychologists study the contributions of both
heredity and environment to child development. With Dr. Renee
Baillargeon of the University of Illinois and Dr. Judy De Loache of
the University of Illinois.
6. Language Development
The development of language has many facets to explore. This
program looks at how developmental psychologists investigate the
human mind, society, and culture by studying children’s use of
language in social communication. With Dr. Jean Berko-Gleason of
Boston University and Dr. Ann Fernald of Stanford University.
7. Sensation and Perception
This program demonstrates how visual information is gathered and
processed, and how our culture, previous experiences, and interests
influence our perceptions. With Dr. David Hubel of Harvard
University and Dr. Misha Pavel of the Oregon Graduate Institute of
Science and Technology.
8. Learning
Prominent researchers — Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner —
have greatly influenced today’s thinking about how learning takes
place. This program examines the basic principles of classical and
operant conditioning elaborated by these renowned figures. With Dr.
Howard Rachlin of the State University of New York at Stony Brook
and Dr. Robert Ader of the University of Rochester. Updated.
9. Remembering and Forgetting
This program looks at the complex process called memory: how
images, ideas, language, and even physical actions, sounds, and
smells are translated into codes, represented in the memory and
retrieved when needed. With Dr. Richard Thompson of the University
of Southern California and Dr. Diana Woodruff-Pak of Temple
University. Updated.
10. Cognitive Processes
This program is an exploration into the higher mental processes —
reasoning, planning, and problem solving — and why the “cognitive
revolution” is attracting such diverse investigators from
philosophers to computer scientists. With Dr. Howard Gardner of
Harvard University and Dr. Michael Posner of the University of
Oregon.
11. Judgement and Decision Making
Exceedingly complex processes are involved in the making of
judgements and decisions. This program examines how and why people
make good and bad judgements, and the psychology of taking risks.
With Dr. Daniel Kahneman of Princeton University and the late Dr.
Irving Janis of Yale University.
12. Motivation and Emotion
This program reviews what researchers are discovering about why we
act and feel as we do, from the exhilaration of love to the agony
of failure. With Dr. Norman Adler of Yeshiva University and Dr.
Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania.
13. The Mind Awake and Asleep
Our varying levels of consciousness empower us to interpret,
analyze, and direct our behavior in flexible ways. The nature of
sleeping, dreaming, and altered states of consciousness are
explored in this program. With Dr. Ernest Hartman, formerly of
Tufts University, and Dr. Robert McCarley of Harvard Medical
School.
14. The Mind Hidden and Divided
This program shows how experiences that take place below the level
of consciousness alter our moods, bias our actions, and affect our
health — as demonstrated in repression, discovered and false memory
syndromes, hypnosis, and split-brain cases. With Dr. Jonathan
Schooler of the University of Pittsburgh and Dr. Michael Gazzaniga
of Dartmouth College. Updated.
15. The Self
Psychologists systematically study the origins of self-identity and
self-esteem, the social determinants of self-conceptions, and the
emotional and motivational consequences of beliefs about oneself.
This program explores their methods of discovery. With Dr. Hazel
Markus of Stanford University and Dr. Teresa Amabile of Harvard
University. Updated.
16. Testing and Intelligence
This program peers into the field of psychological assessment — the
efforts of psychologists and other professionals to assign values
to different abilities, behaviors, and personalities. With Dr.
Claude Steele of Stanford University and Dr. Robert Sternberg of
Yale University. Updated.
17. Sex and Gender
This program explores the ways in which males and females are
similar and different, and how gender roles reflect social values
and psychological knowledge. With Dr. Michael Meaney of McGill
University and Dr. Eleanor Maccoby of Stanford University.
18. Maturing and Aging
What really happens, physically and psychologically, as we age?
This program looks at how society reacts to the last stages of
life. With Dr. Laura Carstensen of Stanford University and Dr.
Sherry Willis of Penn State University. Updated.
19. The Power of the Situation
This program examines how our beliefs and behavior can be
influenced and manipulated by other people and subtle situational
forces, and how social psychologists study human behavior within
its broader social context. With Dr. Ellen Langer of Harvard
University and Dr. Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University.
20. Constructing Social Reality
Many factors contribute to our interpretation of reality. This
program demonstrates how understanding the psychological processes
that govern our behavior may help us to become more empathetic and
independent members of society. With Steven Hassan, M.Ed., of the
Freedom of Mind Resource Center and Dr. Robert Cialdini of Arizona
State University. Updated.
21. Psychopathology
The major types of mental illness are presented. Schizophrenia,
phobias, and affective disorders are described, along with the
major factors that affect them — both biological and psychological.
With Dr. Irving Gottesman of the University of Virginia and Dr. E.
Fuller Torrey of the National Institute of Mental Health.
Updated.
22. Psychotherapy
This program surveys the relationships among theory, research, and
practice, and how treatment of psychological disorders has been
influenced by historical, cultural, and social forces. With Dr.
Hans Strupp of Vanderbilt University and the late Dr. Rollo
May.
23. Health, Mind, and Behavior
This program presents a rethinking of the relationship between mind
and body. A new bio-psychosocial model is replacing the traditional
biomedical model. With Dr. Judith Rodin of the University of
Pennsylvania and Dr. Neal Miller of Yale University. Updated.
24. Applying Psychology in Life
Psychology is currently being applied in innovative ways to
practical situations in the areas of human factors, law, and
conflict negotiation. With Dr. Malcolm Cohen of NASA Ames Research
Center, Dr. Stephen Ceci of Cornell University, and Dr. James Maas
of Cornell University. New.
25. Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience represents the attempt to understand mental
processes at the level of the brain’s functioning and not merely
from information-processing models and theories. It relies heavily
on an empirical analysis of what is happening in the brain, and
where, when a person thinks, reasons, decides, judges, encodes
information, recalls information, learns, and solves problems.
Cognitive neuroscience allies psychologists, biologists, brain
researchers, and others in what is perhaps the most dramatic
advance in the last decade of psychological research. With Dr. John
Gabrieli of Stanford University and Dr. Stephen Kosslyn of Harvard
University. New.
26. Cultural Psychology
This newly emerging field is integrating cross-cultural research
with social and personality psychology, anthropology, and other
social sciences. Its main new perspective is centered on how
cultures construct selves and other central aspects of individual
personality, beliefs, values, and emotions — much of what we are
and do. This area has become more important in both psychology and
American society with the globalization of our planet, increasing
interaction of people from different cultural backgrounds, and
emerging issues of diversity. With Dr. Hazel Markus of Stanford
University, Dr. Kaipeng Peng of the University of California,
Berkeley, and Dr. Ricardo Munoz of the University of California,
San Francisco and San Francisco General Hospital. New.
