Hi, I'm Michael Corayer and this is Psych Exam Review where I answer common questions and explain the key concepts in psychology.
In this video I'm going to talk about some early approaches to psychology. We're going to start with a guy named Wilhelm Wundt and Wundt lived from 1832 to 1920, here's a picture of him here and he's generally credited with starting the world's first experimental psychology lab at the University of Leipzig. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laBOrIIfoXA

In this video I describe some symptoms and prevalence of several disorders in the Obsessive-Compulsive Related Disorders category of the DSM-5. These include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Hoarding Disorder, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

In this video I consider evolutionary explanations for the modern struggle with obesity. I describe how obesity is defined using the calculation of body mass index or BMI and consider potential problems with this simple calculation. I also discuss set point theory, energy expenditure, and the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944-1945 and its possible role in gene expression and incidence of type-II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

In this video I discuss attractiveness. I begin by discussing the halo effect; the idea that physically attractive people are often perceived as having other positive qualities such as being smarter or more outgoing. Next I consider which physical traits are universally considered attractive. Symmetry represents an important marker of health and the ability to produce healthy offspring. Attractive facial features vary by gender and female faces which are "cute" are considered attractive, while male faces which are "dominant" are considered more attractive. A waist-to-hip ratio of .7 is considered attractive in females, while in males a hip-to-shoulder ratio of .9 is attractive. Lastly I briefly consider non-physical aspects of attractiveness (personality traits and intelligence) and how self-disclosure can strengthen relationships and increase attraction.

In this video I discuss how we form impressions of others and how quickly and accurately we are able to form impressions. Thin slices theory suggests that we're able to form impressions fairly quickly, though it's unclear if these first impressions are accurate, resistant to change, or strengthened by confirmation bias. Even single word descriptions such as "warm" or "cold" can influence our impressions, even when other information remains the same. This suggests that we need to be careful with first impressions. Just because we can form impressions quickly doesn't mean that we should. Instead, we should aim to give ourselves time to consider more information, minimize our tendency toward confirmation bias, and reduce the possibility of creating self-fulfilling prophecies.

In this video I introduce the biology of memory and the role of the hippocampus on long-term memory formation. I discuss several cases of severe memory loss including patients H.M. and E.P., who suffered anterograde amnesia and cannot form new memories, and Clive Wearing, who also suffers from retrograde amnesia and is unable to recall his past. These case studies reveal the role of the hippocampus in explicit memory formation and also demonstrate that procedural memory does not rely on the the hippocampus.

In this video I describe Diana Baumrind's 3 main parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. I also describe the addition of neglectful or uninvolved parenting and the outcomes in children associated with each of these parenting styles. Lastly I consider the difficulty of drawing specific conclusions from these outcomes, as children's personalities and behaviors may influence parenting styles and parents and children may share genes related to social competence.

In this video I describe Freud's psychosexual stages of personality development. Each of the stages has a focus of pleasure and a conflict which needs to be resolved. Failure to properly resolve a conflict could result in a fixation, which could then cause anxiety later in life.

In this video I provide example mnemonics, or memory aids, for remembering important names in the history of psychology including Wilhelm Wundt, Edward Titchener, William James, G. Stanley Hall, Mary Whiton Calkins, Margaret Floy Washburn, Sigmund Freud, and B.F. Skinner, as well as the roles they played in the development of structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, and behaviorism. The suggested mnemonics can help you to link these names with a few basic facts and avoid feeling overwhelmed at the start of an introductory psychology course. They can also provide practice for learning to make your own mnemonics in order to make studying easier and more efficient.

In this video I explain the concept of internal validity and how it acts as a checklist for considering whether an independent variable has been effectively manipulated, a dependent variable has been measured without bias, and a clear pattern can be found in the data. I also mention the importance of avoiding simple yes/no answers and remembering that all of these features are open to scrutiny, criticism, and debate. Finally, I underscore the importance of limiting conclusions to the data that has actually been collected.
