MIT Videos

I was reading my weekly Scout report and they wrote about a video repository that MIT has online at http://video.mit.edu/
Here is the link for a psychology search: http://video.mit.edu/search/?q=psychology&x=0&y=0

This is Zimbardo's talk on how people do evil things:

Here is another talk on the brain and disorders:

There are quite a few others with psych connections. These videos are for professionals who wish to learn, they are not geared toward high school students.

MIT Open Courseware - Introduction to Psychology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT undergraduate and graduate course content. All course material is free and open to the public.

The OCW includes an Introduction to Psychology course from 2004 with Professor Jeremy Wolfe. While the site includes MP3 audio files of Professor Wolfe's lectures, lecture notes, required readings, and much more, the most interesting aspect of the site is the previous course midterms and final exams in the Study Materials section. Professor Wolfe has a unique form of assessment with each exam centered around a specific story. For example, the 2000 final exam is based on Harry Potter. For 2001, Professor Wolfe used The Lord of the Rings.

The Study Materials section can be found at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Brain-and-Cognitive-Sciences/9-00Fall-2004/StudyMaterials/index.htm. To find the course homepage go to http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Brain-and-Cognitive-Sciences/9-00Fall-2004/CourseHome/index.htm
