that back pain example was kind of weird, would it be simpler to just say the behaviour of holding your daughter was reinforced by it taking away the negative stimuli of her crying?

Tip from my psych professor for remembering the hippocampus was “if you saw a hippo on campus, you’d probably be really surprised and you’d never forget it, right?” Because it helps you to remember things, especially that involve emotions

[BrainsApplied]

Step 1) Grab your book
Step 2) Open the book
Step 3) Cry

[stileslau]

“Environmental context-dependent memory”
Cry when you are studying psychology
Cry during an exam
Then you remember what you have studied

Psychology students are always so cool 😎 and awesome in every situation. Yes! It's true. 😉 You're just awesome sir. Thanks for this precious information.

[danielschmidt]

You've literally instilled confidence in me, I've been deciding ever since I left the army what to study in college and I think I've finally found my calling

[dr.sherry]

Love the idea of PEWS - that is brilliant using emotion and visualization to make something more memorable. I will start recommending that idea to my psych students!

[Yuvaln]

God i needed this !
Just started Introduction to psychology and was overwhelmed by how much I need to remember,
Thank you so much for sharing this ! and let's hope i'll come back to this video to tell you that I made it !

omg i used the same story technique/ mnemonics for undergrad, friends would think it was weird how i studied but helps so much, aced every class 😁 especially bio psych where every exam was all written!

[JulesA]

Good stuff, as always! I'm in grad school now and am struggling with my psychology class (Psychology of Human Computer Interaction). These are good tips to learn and practice.

[EvinNazya]

This is golden. I’m here for this. Thank you so much

[victoriaandrews]

You are officially my fave psych professor, I wish I could learn my whole degree through you! 😊

[auskoe]

Great video!
I just recently switched my major to psychology, and I’m watching your videos to prep myself/ because they are entertaining.

[candigirrl]

This man Is refreshing as far as explaining psychology. Usually It's
very clinical. very stoic type explaining.

[stephlambruschini]

Wow! I’m so happy I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for sharing your pews technique, wish I found your channel in undergrad!

[pearl]

Thank you so much Sir! Really appreciate your videos. I can tell you are an awesome professor. Keep up the great job! Many blessing to you and your family.

[lightseeker]

Fantastic video! Another quick idea for students...When I had to learn 100's of terms in medical terminology, the most efficient method was to create flash cards . I would carry the flashcards with me and review them whenever I had a spare moment during the day (between classes, waiting in line, in transit etc). It helped me to learn large volumes of information quickly. Enjoyed your video!

[heatherleblanc]

So grateful for you videos! Starting my Psych Major degree in January and all your videos are so helpful!

[nickytamseree]

Thank you so much for this video. This video come at a right time. I will be starting learning psychology in University later this year. Will definitely tries these out.

[professoramirasims]

I share your videos with my students all the time. Keep up the good work.
