Very useful for the students. Ten of the most influential social psychology studies.

Used this in class when we were looking at obedience but it could also be very useful when looking at and discussing ethics in psychology.

I also use the Milgram study when looking at ethics - it forms a good debate about the trade off between ethics and the amount we have learnt from the study. Some of the classic case studies are good also - Genie Wiley etc.

The case study method of teaching applied to college science teaching, from The National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science. An excellent way to interest your students in Psychology.

Provides key information on various subjects examined in the course. Very useful for personal study.

What is it, some studies, how it is studied, relationship between behavior and genes, other useful links... very useful for Biological LOA

This is a good site for finding extra readings on topics that pertain to Psychology. The articles are well written and fairly short and straightforward allowing access to the complex ideas for ESL learners. It is also a great site for "study mining" if you are interested in expanding your options on studies relating to the different concepts in Psych. (I especially like PSYBLOG)

I really love this, and have used it often. A great suggestion. Thank you.

This is a good blog page in which you can find 40 blogs selected from the very general to specific and academic.

Good page that has some resources about unethical studies and various other topics. Good starting point to discuss what is unethical with students.

This seems to have ALOT of resources, very comprehensive and some interesting videos as well!

An international group of neuroscientists has sliced, imaged and analysed the brain of a 65-year-old woman to create the most detailed map yet of a human brain in its entirety (see video at bottom). The atlas, called 'BigBrain', shows the organization of neurons with microscopic precision, which could help to clarify or even redefine the structure of brain regions obtained from decades-old anatomical studies.

This is my all time favorite for ethics and experiments. We saw the whole movie. I think it is very valuable since it is made with the actual kid who suffered the impact of unethical experimentation, lack of parent will power, and a scientific context that thought new it all.

hello Gonzalo! My students love this case study. They always become shocked after hearing this story and want to learn more about ethics in psychology. Thank you for this link!!!

Thank you Aneta, It is a magnificent example of how science, naive parents and ambition can really make life miserable....all in good intentions! (beware of good intentions! hahahaha)

Understand your mind with the science of psychology.

This site is maintained by a psych grad student who does simple meta-analysis like papers on various topics in psychology.

An interesting site that details Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. This would be a good base research site for a report, study, or just for information regarding the two.

Alzheimer's and cognitive processes (memory)

Advance Access Browse the Archive View all Editorials Brain provides researchers and clinicians with the finest original contributions in neurology. Leading studies in neurological science are balanced with practical clinical articles. Its citation rating is one of the highest for neurology journals, and it consistently publishes papers that become classics in the field.

I use this for OCR psychology, but there are some very good descriptions of some of the crossover studies like Sperry, Maguire, Bandura and Piliavin.

A Helpful site

This is an amazing site for videos!

Good for students- easy to understand, a good start point for more indepth study

In this activity you will explore how psychologists draw solid conclusions from the complex and often ambiguous phenomena they study -- how you think, feel, and behave. To begin, imagine you are a research psychologist. You will learn about and then put into practice some of the key terms and concepts you will need to master if your research is to succeed.

This is also really interesting if you teach HM. I have used HM for multiple learning outcome. Localization being the main one.

I have used this site too. It is also great for teaching memory and case studies (for HL paper 3).
