When I was in third grade my brother told me to remember what page of his Garfield comic book he was on and remind him what it was after school, because he didn't have a bookmark. I still remember what page it was. It was 78. I don't know why I still haven't forgotten it.
"Remebrance can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow. Don't lose it, don't refuse it, because you cannot learn a thing you think you know."
Memory is amazing, I live with a stroke patient (My Dad) and the weirdly selective memory is bizarre, he can remember something mundane he did 30 years ago but he struggles to remember my name on a day to day basis. I think this is the first crash course has make me cry...
I learned more about this Clive when I read The Power of Habit. If I recall correctly, his hypocampus was destroyed by the virus. The most interesting thing is that, even though he couldn't form new longterm memories, he could still develop new habits. For example: After moving to a new address, same time everyday, he and his wife would go for a walk around the neighborhood. Eventually he just started going by himself. The problem is that he had no idea where he was going, it was all just intuition. When something unpredictable happened to interrupt his routine, he would "wake up" and realise he doesn't know where he is and where to go. Thank heavens his neighbors were familliar with him and nice enough to walk him back home when that happened.
That's why it's called metacognition. Understanding how to learn and think is an important skill and one of the big focuses of the new Common Core standards in American elementary schools. (I majored in education, so I just thought I'd throw that out there).
"Our memories may haunt us or sustain us, but either way, they define us...without them, we are left to wander alone in the dark" That was beautiful Hank...
Remember that guy from 300? What was his name? ARG!!! It turns out our brains make and recall memories in different ways. In this episode of Crash Course Psychology, ***** talks about the way we do it, what damaging that process can do to us, and that guy... with the face and six pack... How We Make Memories - Crash Course Psychology #13
hank, can you please explain how i read it once, waited three days then watched the rest of the video and still remembered? no repetition or anything and i'm starting to think i'm weird.
Can you please do a video on the historical roots of psychology? Theories like functionalism, structuralism, gestalt psychology, humanistic/ psychodynamic/cognitive/behaviourist/evolutionary perspectives... they're things that have really shaped psychology and it would be super awesome if it was covered by Crash Course! :)
My cognitive psychology exam is on Tuesday, so this video could not have been uploaded at a more convenient time! Sincere thanks, Hank, from a slightly stressed psychology undergrad.
I found it really hard to pay attention after you told me to remember Leonidas. I kept thinking "this is a psychology video - there must be some kind of trick - maybe I have to remember this... or this!".
I didn't even notice the video mention Leonidus the first time around. When Hank used it as an example I had no idea what was going on, haha. I thought he was referring to the Richard name from the psychologists at first..
“Remembering’s dangerous. I find the past such a worrying, anxious place. “The Past Tense,” I suppose you’d call it. Memory’s so treacherous. One moment you’re lost in a carnival of delights, with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy-floss… the next, it leads you somewhere you don’t want to go. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you’d hoped were forgotten. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes. Like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can’t face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren’t contractually tied down to rationality! There is no sanity clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there’s always madness. Madness is the emergency exit… you can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away… forever.” - The Joker
These videos are such a pleasure to watch. I use them as a supplementary resource in addition to lectures, textbooks and power points presented by instructors. Thank you for creating a series designed to consolidate the main points of each theme in an enjoyable, entertaining, and beneficial manner Crash Course Team !
when I graduate if I have to give a speech for whatever reason I'm acknowledging Hank Green for getting me through high school "Hank Green...*waves diploma in the air* this one's for you!"
I had a head injury at age 13. "Our memories are may haunt us or sustain us but either way, they define us. Without them we are left to wander alone in the dark." When you said this, a chord was struck in my soul. I know the despair of being alone in the hospital wondering if I would ever see anyone I loved again. In reality, My Mother spent most of her hours during those 4 months at my bed side. I was told many people visited. Although I am able to recall very few visitors. Having been cute and popular at my Highschool, I had many gifts left to verify that in fact, I had a plethora of visitors. But my reality was and still is that I essentially spent 4 months alone.

I remember watching a documentary that had the London pianist with short term memory loss in it. The brain really is amazing. You can remember complex songs on the piano but forget what you were talking about five minutes ago.
+minimooster No, it's because playing the piano is stored in your procedural memory and the conversation is stored in your short-term memory, so Clive could remember how to play complex piano pieces but not what he said five minutes go.
Not a single word on memory errors!? I hope you guys are doing a future episode on them; they're pretty damned important. It's incredible how well our brain lies to us, and I think that's something that needs to be addressed.
Oh my gosh, so your last name is very coincidentally also the last name of the scientist who said that memory is an active process and not passive as Ebbinghaus said.
I find myself thinking a lot about memory lately because I have started learning arabic at night. It's really difficult (especially compared to the Spanish I learned in high school and college). The best way I found so far is to group words and phrases in the way we group phrases in English. For instance, when we contemplate something, we are taught to question "who, what, when, where, why, and how" in an almost rhythmic fashion. So I use the same rhythmic flow to arabic: men, maa, meh-ta, eye-na, le-meh-ta, and kayfa. I have found in most areas of my life, noticing patterns and drawing connections always helps the memory to stick.
Being a stroke survivor, I have a tough time with memory and language. I remembered Leonidas because of the movie 300 and the Battle of Thermopylae. But there is other information I can't recall and I need to relearn it. I love you videos.
I have issues absorbing information from videos so after watching your videos and immediately forgetting everything I rewatch it again on double speed and it gets absorbed better the second time.
This was so interesting, I really enjoyed it. One thing I wish was explained is how there's no such thing as "short term memory loss". It's explained really well how in short term, or working memory, it either gets forgotten or encoded into long term. The point of a short term is that it forgotten if not needed to remember long term. It's such a pet peeve of mine how movies have ingrained that short term memory loss is a real thing and people constantly throw it around. I feel like it's up there with people continuing to believe that we only use 10% of our brains.
Its interesting how this all works because now I'm understanding why I randomly remember things. Or pictures or hearing stories can bring back memories I didn't even know I had. I use chunking already and now I know why it actually helps.
Haha remembered his name by imagining a character I know named Leo kicking someone into a pit with a Nidus worm in it(which is a worm that burrows underground and eats things from star craft.) I'm going to remember that forever.
Pffft, the start of this video was so perfect. The silly animations, the serious narration and the horribly played piano made the dart of the video so funny to me. Thank you
I once had a discussion with a friend, probably 12 or 13 years ago, about the order in which we wash our hair and body in the shower (we both shampooed, rinsed, conditioned, body washed while the conditioner is in, then rinsed again) and I still recall the conversation every time I'm in the shower.
Giving things silly titles or easy chunking methods to retain information helps me study and remember what I’m studying. Also taking assessments and then learning from my mistakes.
Thank you Crash Courses! i have been taking a class psycholigy and loving it but your little videos are great reminders for essays and also helps me present my information in a way that flows smoothly. THANK YOU!
I'm always amazed by people who have good long term memories, like they will start talking about something that happened years ago and I just have to take their word for it (maybe they are making it up...) my long term memory is dire, the only time I ever think about the past is when something triggers a memory and I am always suprised by them. I find it very hard to willingly recall stuff, I know that I did things but then I feel that my memories aren't so much memories but imaginings of how I presume it was. People say 'don't live in the past' and I don't because trying to do so makes my head hurt and confuses me. On the other hand I have very good short term memory.
8:21 Had a stray kitten come to us one day while out playing football, and he hopped right into our car, he was so friendly, and lived with us for a couple of years before then passing away with some type of sickness, I wish we could go back and save him. Anyway, R.I.P. Leo 🙏
Hank, I thought I'd give you a personal experience - for the last two years, I have been dealing with a phobia for vaccination needles, to the point where I am now on exposure therapy for it (seriously - I have pictures of shots being done on the filing cabinet next to me). I've had a lot of theories as to why I was afraid of them; after watching this, my guess is that it's a behavioral thing, because I've always reacted poorly, and associative, because I had a vasal vagal response at one point which later triggered depression as a result. So props for helping me figure this stuff out, because it's really helpful to understand why it's such a scary thing for me. Now if only I knew how to completely get over it...
Memory is extremely powerful - It can shape our identities and our lives. This crash course covers some psychological models of memory. It covers concepts such as rehearsal, working memory, shallow processing, and deep processing. I often use deep processing, and I rarely use shallow processing.
+Hank Green Hey! I'm currently a freshmen and I love to study psychiatric terminology, because this year i was clinically diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and anxiety. After I was prescribed 2.0mg of risperidone I hated it, so I did some research on anxiety medication and on stimulants and non stimulants for ADHD. After I talked to my nurse practitioner about my medicine, I asked her to prescribe me 20mg of Vyvanse and 50mg sertraline. There are some very bad psychiatrists out there people gotta be careful. I'm glad there is someone like you who does not think everyone is bipolar. Oh yah! Pertaining to your video I had a question. How does the toxic neurotransmitter that takes over almost half your brain, glutamate, contribute to memory? You need to do a video on neurotransmitters please. 😄
Bob_Sack it looks similar although I gotta give it to you. Never saw the movie. But that's why I couldn't place it exactly.....Please watch bleach people. It's still a good show! XD
Okay this vid literally saved me I have to write three paragraphs for my science fair and my topic is false memories and one of the sections is how we make memories and I lost all of my notes and I’m currently thanking god for this
Also, between 4 and 7 distinct bits of information can only be held in STM so long as repetition is allowed. Interestingly, if we distract the brain from doing repetition, the numbers are closer to around 3 bits.
I have to say you are just AMAZING!!!!!! I hate studying memory in my degree as it is so dull... yet watching these make it more interesting and simple to comprehend. :D
all i have stored in my memory now... "Our memories may haunt us or sustain us, but either way, they define us. Without them, we are left to wander alone in the dark."
What exactly is your fixation on Bernice? You mention her nearly every episode! If you ask me, it seems to be an unhealthy obsession. Maybe you should go see a psychiatrist.
I have weaker memory but good analytical skills, with problem solving and creativity, but I don't feel like living in a void without knowing my identity, or feel disconnected, instead I feel empowered as if I an eternal, and full of joy and randomness and I have no urge to remember lots of stuff at all and I understood that about myself without any cultural or nationality bias and generated my own psychology from maths and physics. So how would psychologist define my "case"?
My English teacher knew this stuff and to make us remember we had a test and the date, he suddenly threw his stool over. The shocking event would help us remember. 6 years later and I still remember.

Because it may encourage a bonding situation where you thought it was a memorable moment. Which engraved into your mind.
Because it was not a garfield comic book, it was actually a playboy mazagine where you saw a naked woman for the first time and got hard.
Ego Death Perhaps the book was to help you in a class you might have been stressing out about.
@@Ryan-dz7mg yeah I was haha is that a thing?
i remember two years i wrote “sultana” in arabic script on my upper left wrist before my math lesson started
"Our memories may haunt us or sustain us, but either way, they define us. Without them, we are left to wander alone in the dark."
+Jasmine McGarigle Is that his original quote?
Idk, but that's what he said in the video. And I haven't heard that quote before, so I think it's his.
"Remebrance can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow. Don't lose it, don't refuse it, because you cannot learn a thing you think you know."
Looks like I am half walking in the dark. My autobiographical memory sucks on ice. I can barely remember what I do hours before the present.
that's a great quote. kudos if it's his
Memory is amazing, I live with a stroke patient (My Dad) and the weirdly selective memory is bizarre, he can remember something mundane he did 30 years ago but he struggles to remember my name on a day to day basis. I think this is the first crash course has make me cry...
I'm so sorry about your dad. I'm sure you bring a lot of comfort to him, regardless.
nadiact1000 Thanks, I like to think I make his life a little better, your comment has cheered me up a lot today though :)

I pray for your dad. I bet he is happy how much you care about him. And you know I care about him

Learning about learning? So meta.

Kitty Kat Cool.
basically awareness, if you’re unlucky, intuition
"Our memories may haunt us or sustain us, but either way, they define us...without them, we are left to wander alone in the dark"
That was beautiful Hank...
You just covered almost all the memory coursework for the psychology class I took in my last year of school. This brings back memories.
“Our memories are the chain that connects our past to our present” I love that ❤️
3:04 The computer version of this chart:
Input Devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) --> Input Buffer --> (via ASCII, Unicode, etc. encoding) RAM --> (via storage device's hardware controller's encoding) Primary storage (Hard drive) (Recall via read operations)
In fact, from there comes that old-fashioned model of memory. But of course, we are not computers; they helped to understand but it is not the truth.
Remember that guy from 300? What was his name? ARG!!! It turns out our brains make and recall memories in different ways. In this episode of Crash Course Psychology, ***** talks about the way we do it, what damaging that process can do to us, and that guy... with the face and six pack...

I was certainly conscious of that.
I did not remember Leonidas when you asked me to. However, I will now never forget Kao Naishi creeping up on you and freaking me out for a moment.
You never watched 300 did you?
Ya caught me!
knew it
Live this channel. Reading from the textbooks just isn't enough, I like the visuals to emphasize the topic

lol I got that XD
Also, between 4 and 7 distinct bits of information can only be held in STM so long as repetition is allowed. Interestingly, if we distract the brain from doing repetition, the numbers are closer to around 3 bits.
your shirt is awesome! Frozen in a newly designed "Charlie Brown" style
I believe the reference was Calvin&Hobbes actually! If you liked the Peanuts, you will love them.
I have to say you are just AMAZING!!!!!! I hate studying memory in my degree as it is so dull... yet watching these make it more interesting and simple to comprehend. :D
No face freaked me out when he showed up

This TH-cam channel is the best! I learn so much from the short videos and I love the dude, the humor, and the art
Happy Bday Hank!
I'm from Brazil and I love this channel. No just because it's from John Green and his brother, I'm really learning here.
Anybody else see the spirit lurking behind Hank at 5:21?
i saw it
yes
Hank thank ypu gor these episodes! They are sooo informative! Not just thanks to you hank but to the other people who worked on this...
I wish this series was finished before i took the exam. Darn it
This video is helping me study for my psychology exam tomorrow! Thank you!
Thank god for this TH-cam channel it got me through high school courses and now university courses!!
5:23 holy crap the background
Things I learnt:
Implicit explicit memory (conscious or not)
Procedual memory (how to do things)
Shallow deep processing (if its meaningful)
When he said "except for in the exam" I felt that.
i love that the transcript is actually right with crash course, and it doesn't even come close to right with most other channels
5:21.... Lol who else saw it
yep, ADD
Me
Creepy
all i have stored in my memory now...
"Our memories may haunt us or sustain us, but either way, they define us. Without them, we are left to wander alone in the dark."
What exactly is your fixation on Bernice? You mention her nearly every episode! If you ask me, it seems to be an unhealthy obsession. Maybe you should go see a psychiatrist.
Charlie Hofigan Who is Bernice?
Charlie Hofigan iloveu975
:stands up: I'm Bernice!
Charlie Hofigan I am sure she is a woman he's got a crush on...
Scowlie Meerkat Mister Potter you have already lost 10 points from your house please sit down
Charlie Hofigan She probably donated a lot of money to CrashCourse.
I have weaker memory but good analytical skills, with problem solving and creativity, but I don't feel like living in a void without knowing my identity, or feel disconnected, instead I feel empowered as if I an eternal, and full of joy and randomness and I have no urge to remember lots of stuff at all and I understood that about myself without any cultural or nationality bias and generated my own psychology from maths and physics. So how would psychologist define my "case"?
It's hard to concentrate when all your brain wants to do is recite Jenny's number... :P

god dammit now that's stuck in my head.
The fact that a web of electrically excitable cells is capable of storing, retrieving, and interpreting information is astounding.
Thanks, Hank. Now i'm never going to forget the name Leonidas.
My English teacher knew this stuff and to make us remember we had a test and the date, he suddenly threw his stool over. The shocking event would help us remember. 6 years later and I still remember.
the only reason i pass my exams .. THANKS
+Tara sigari I feel dat struggle. Text books just do nothing that don't even properly explain a concept without launching into an essay.
Genius! And all the spirited away character was adorable xD
Late commenting but I love your Studio Ghibli references :)
This Crash Course Psychology playlist is truly enjoyable!
Too bad this was about 5 hours late for the AP Psychology exam. At least not much of this was on the test.
Pretty good crash course! Sums up 3 weeks in my cognitive psychology class. CW is a nice touch.
I remember Leonidas in my long term memory from the line "THIS IS SPARTA"
