Description

This 7-DVD set highlights developments in the field of psychology, offering an overview of classic and current theories of human behavior. Leading researchers, practitioners, and theorists probe the mysteries of the mind and body. This introductory course in psychology features demonstrations, classic experiments and simulations, current research, documentary footage, and computer animation. Program 25. Cognitive neuroscience looks at scientists' attempts to understand how the brain functions in a variety of mental processes. It also examines empirical analysis of brain functioning when a person thinks, reasons, sees, encodes information, and solves problems. Several brain-imaging tools reveal how we measure the brain's response to different stimuli. Program 26. Cultural psychology explores how cultural psychology integrates cross-cultural research with social psychology, anthropology, and other social sciences. It also examines how cultures contribute to self identity, the central aspects of cultural values, and emerging issues regarding diversity.
