More TED talks for psychology students

I saw the great list posted by Rob of 20 Compelling TED Talks for Psychology Students but I knew there were some in my bookmarks that I thought were worth adding. I started to put them in the comments of the original post but the HTML is a pain, so I'm adding a new post with more here. If you know of others, please post the names in the comments or send them to me!

Also, please check out the amazing interactive transcripts on TED. Not only is there a script you can follow, but just click any part of the transcript and you'll be transported to that part of the video. Brilliant!

• Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation (one of my favorites)
• Philip Zimbardo shows how people become monsters ... or heroes (on Abu Ghraib)
• Heribert Watzker on the brain in your gut (good for motivation/neuroscience)
• Julia Sweeney has "The Talk" (a great introduction to development or sexual motivation - funny!)
• Charles Limb: Your brain on improv (creativity and the brain)
• Kim Gorgens: Protecting the brain against concussion
