Psychology at the Movies: A Psychological Review

Quick post this morning.  I found this really cool article from the American Psychological Society that talks about a website that critiques psychological conditions from a scientific and neurological perspective (it includes amnesia and Finding Nemo).

Here is the article link:

Here is the actual site, NeuroPsyFi:
http://www.neuropsyfi.com/

How cool a name is that!

  1. Chuck! Just came across this website too! Sorry I missed your post earlier this year. I really like the feature of CRITIQUING neuro-myths portrayed in the movies. Mary Spiers (creator of website) gives some ideas here: http://www.neuropsyfi.com/movie-assignments.html
