This is a good YouTube collection of videos related to cognition and memory as well as a few other psychological concepts like perception. Nice work by the guy that put this together.

Interesting video showing the complexity of neuronal connections in a very very small section of a mouse cortex.

We talk of love as if it were just one thing: in fact, it's two very different moves, Loving and Being Loved. You start to grow up when you stop focusing on the latter and get involved with the former.

Here is a link to my Psychology Youtube playlist. Some of the videos are made by my pupils (but a word of warning here, it takes them a long time to produce them) and some are videos I have found. I then give the pupils the link and they use this channel to watch appropriate Psychology videos.

I have found this site helpful in creating a better understand of the concepts in Psychology

Famous case story of boy raised as female.

Martin Hagger is Professor of Psychology at Curtin University. His areas of expertise are social, health, sport and exercise psychology. He is involved in numerous research projects nationally and internationally with a focus on motivation and behaviour change. He is currently leading projects in drugs in sport, promoting physical activity and healthy diet, understanding the mechanisms of willpower and self-control, and reducing binge drinking and the prevalence of smoking. At the highest level, athletes are well-matched in terms of their physical abilities, conditioning, and skill level. But often that is not enough to win and perform on the biggest of stages like the Olympic games. Developing strategies and techniques to get athletes minds in the best possible condition for optimal performance is increasingly important for sports teams and coaches. Martin will provide an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, give details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athetes and coaches to maximise performance.

In the 1970's there was a test done where the people were told they were either prison guards or prisoners. This is that story and how it came to be.
