The Great Ideas of Psychology [TTC Audio]
English | 1997 | 23 hrs and 27 mins | MP3 | 334 MB
By: Daniel N. Robinson, The Great Courses
Narrated by: Daniel N. Robinson
If you ve ever wanted to delve more deeply into the mysteries of human emotion, perception, and cognition, and of why we do what we do, these 48 lectures offer a superb place to start. With them, you ll see the entire history of psychology unfold. In the hands of Professor Robinson, these lectures encompass ideas, speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle and rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology. In fact, you ll not only learn what psychology is, but even if it is, as Professor Robinson discusses the constantly shifting debate over the nature of psychology itself.
Lecture by lecture, Professor Robinson navigates from one subject to the next, and you ll follow along as he recreates a Platonic dialogue; explains brain physiology; or explores the intricacies of middle ear construction, the psychological underpinnings of the Salem witch trials, and the history of the insanity defense.
Among other things, you ll learn:
How a brilliant young scientist s temporary blindness led to pioneering research in sensory psychology
How the once-prestigious, now-derided, sciences of phrenology and mesmerism contributed to psychological knowledge
What happened when a Stanford psychologist and his students decided to study being sane in insane places by getting themselves committed to a mental institution
How the brain is able to rewire itself to compensate for particular traumas at an early age
If high heritability determines how much the environment influences the value of a trait, and more.
