With examples of patients with various forms of amnesia, Prof. Gabrieli discusses different types of memory and how, through experiments with these patients, scientists identified the parts of the brain with which each is associated.

This lecture introduces psychology as the scientific study of human nature, the mind, and behavior. Prof. Gabrieli uses vision, hearing, knowledge, and memory examples to demonstrate ways in which our minds make our worlds.

This lecture covers a brief overview of the stages of life (from infancy through old age), and what psychologically defines that stage. There is more extensive coverage of how the brain develops throughout the stages of life.
