TTC - Great Ideas of Psychology

The Teaching Company - The Great Ideas of Psychology Course Number 660-48 lectures (30 minutes/lecture) Taught by: Professor Daniel N. Robinson -- Oxford University and Columbia University This course is for the "seeker" in you: your need to know, your willingness to self-examine, your restless curiosity about the world around you. If you?ve ever wanted to understand more about your emotions, your cognitive thinking skills, and other traits that make you uniquely human, then experience The Great Ideas of Psychology. This is a fascinating and provocative course-a joyride of ideas, speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle and rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology-not just what psychology is, but even if it is! To listen to these lectures is to hear the entire history of psychology unfold and to know that the subject most of us today associate with names like Sigmund Freud and B. F. Skinner really began thousands of years earlier. You?ll meet Freud, Skinner, Jung, Watson, Piaget, Erikson, and other figures of the modern history of psychology. But you?ll also encounter Plato and Aristotle. Locke and Hume. Bacon, Newton, Galileo, and Descartes. You?ll sail to the Galapagos Islands with Darwin. Share an intimate correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Psychologists all. Indeed the lectures embrace so diverse a spectrum of thinkers and subjects that you might find it hard to believe you?re taking just a "psychology" course. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part I: Foundations and Psychology in the Empiricist Tradition Lecture 1: Defining the Subject Lecture 2: Ancient Foundations-Greek Philosophers and Physicians Lecture 3: Minds Possessed-Witchery and the Search for Explanations Lecture 4: The Emergence of Modern Science-Locke's "Newtonian" Theory of Mind Lecture 5: Three Enduring "isms"-Empiricism, Rationalism, Materialism Lecture 6: Sensation and Perception Lecture 7: The Visual Process Lecture 8: Hearing Lecture 9: Signal-Detection Theory Lecture 10: Perceptual Constancies and Illusions Lecture 11: Learning and Memory: Associationism-Aristotle to Egginbhaus Lecture 12: Pavlov and the Conditioned Reflex Part II: Psychology and the Empiricist Tradition (cont'd) and Psychology and the Rationalist Tradition Lecture 13: Watson and American Behaviorism Lecture 14: B.F.

whoever split every lecture in 6 pieces did a shitty job, every 5 minutes you'll miss some words. very annoying.

I strongly recommend people not share this. I got a DMCA letter from them. They will enforce protection of their copyrights. Their stuff is high quality but I chose to delete it all after I got the letter.
