Hi
Hullo
Hei
Hello
Hllow😢
This is what I imagined as a child when someone said "Professor"
👌
Yes lol is kinda interesting how our minds think so similarly
@@alejandraripollaltes4802 well historically white men had the privilege of going to school and pursuing science, so that image of an old white male professor became mainstream/popularized. Way more diverse nowadays (but def not diverse enough)
@@bobbyd1658 What do you mean by "not diverse enough"? Don't you think basketball and boxing is "not diverse enough" (majority are blacks)? Is that good or bad? 47% of medical doctors are women and 47% are men (rest is "unknown"). Is medical doctor "diverse"? Then how about, white people making 73% of the population in the USA, but only make up 63% of medical doctors. That's "not diverse enough". I think college professor, basketball player, boxer, doctors, etc. are all privileged in their own sense. How are you determining who is more "privileged"?
Yeah , now professor means alvaro morte
Only at MIT could a psychology class be taught in front a blackboard full of vector calculus
Vector Arithmetic/Algebra *
true
+Eddie Wu how could you elaborate please ?
you think that was an accident?
was just about to say this, but I'm 3 years too late

Thanks MIT for this free wonderful content. I am not going through lectures by order but my interest, so above is just index for convenient record keeping.
Thank you!!!!
You are a legend
Thanks mate. Appreciate your help.
Oh Thank you so much 🥺, you literally listed all the things I'm interested in :-D
Thank uu
I love free college.
Lolll same
Sameee! I’m gaining the same knowledge; just gotta make a fake degree and I’m good to go! :))
Hi Austin, do you have the links to all the 24 topics , from Intro to Conclusions - Evolutionary Psychology, Happiness? I am really interested . thanks!
@@cheechee6473 Smart strategy
Old professors are the best ones. This is college not middle school.
Cause they're wise and gave tons of experience teaching so whatever they're saying comes across so naturally.
@@thomas7365 I was talking about the good ones. I've had my share of fossil fuel machines as well.
@@thomas7365 what do u work as now
I think anyone’s who’s actually gone to college would disagree
Not in the Philippines lol
I'm currently majoring in Psych at a much worse school for a ridiculous price. This is so depressing. But, thank you MIT for letting anyone have access to quality education.
What was your college? I intend to apply for psychology, but I have doubts about which university to choose.

“Quality”. I’m in a community college and I get better information than this
@@terminatedaccount8750 i love the human behavioral biology course
Honestly this professor is so smart with his little ideas to understand how the human mind behaves towards another, starting to love psychology.
It's been 7 years, hows life going ? 😅
@@simtanhg4291 nothing has changed but studying psychology more and more
@@ElectroStreetdancer Have you tried ‘Active Imagination’ ?
I came to know about it some time ago but its making me suffer a lot, I feel irritable whenever I went on to perform it. I am trying to enter and invite the unconcious from about a week now but nothing appears. What is it that you think I might be doing wrong?
@@simtanhg4291 maybe just concentrate more. Our minds just needs to accelerate to at a right pace where we can take our time getting used. But I haven’t dig too much into active imagination tho🧐 and sorry for the late response
@@ElectroStreetdancer Why do I feel this kind of an empty hole inside me when I'm socialising? I feel like I'm missing out on something. I keep seeking knowledge and feel never prepared to do things.
This void is certainly not chronic or related to BPD. I'm not sure what it is.. I'm analysing everything. I have a lot of knowledge which seems really important to me when I'm at home but when I start to socialise it feels unworthy. I'm sorry for late reply.. I'm 16 and I was on a social media detox. I just downloaded yt to check out some things.. Hope you reply soon. Thanks
I've never paid attention for 45 minutes straight in my entire life. This was not only informative but engaging. Thank you.
Same!!
@@buttercup2803 Same 2 Me As Well LOL
People pay a shit ton of money for universities like MIT.but now we can just access everything online for free. Isn't the digital age marvelous?
Absolutely.
Andre Me But they still won't give you a degree for it all
It doesn't matter how much you know, just that you got that piece of paper.
Yes and no. Decent lectures and information like this yes, however most people don't have quality control and believe any old shit they read on the internet. This means most people believe in absolute bullshit. Before the internet, people only had access to quality books (libraries), or education. Belief in conspiracy theories has gone through the roof. We are not in the misinformation / disinformation age (more that the information age). You are in the minority for having the intelligence to realise what a good reliable source of information is.
I'm not going to disagree or agree with your statement. Now-a-days, all companies truly care about is the physical proof you went to college. What I will say, and I know that not many colleges will offer this to people(if any do offer it that is), but maybe you after doing enough studying on your own and such to just test out of a course or even take a huge final exam to show you know the area of study well enough to earn yourself a degree.
"it is harder and harder to surprise people now a day"-- can relate.
A decade ago when I was in grade 12, I had a Physics teacher who'd come to class and instantly start writing long derivations on the black board. I would try my best to keep up with his pace and copy all of it just like the other 50 kids in the class. This was in India. I moved to Canada a few years ago and went to school here. I now understand that neither my Physics teacher was interested in teaching nor did he have the skills to do it and similarly I wasn't interested in copying all that nonsense either. My love for physics is still strong and I give my undivided attention to ideas when someone explains it with equal passion. I wish teachers like Instructor Gabrieli exist in millions in my home country so that we can produce more than just stereotypical nerds who are good for only copying others' ideas. No one benefits from playing pretense in the long run.
This is so true man. Our education system just kills the curiosity and simplicity of science. I really hope to see Indian schools teach like this.
Really mate! Our system is so f up that I get chills sometimes thinking about it, lol like they seriously feeding those bullshits since many decades to the whole generation and may be they will continue in future too... ffs 🤦🏽♂️
What grade is that highschool??? Reference
@@SieMiezekatze Yes. High school
@@prashant5229 hoping for the best. India has so much potential.
It’s this type of content that makes you realize that a good professor really makes a difference
i love this professor i wish so hard to sit in his class. he is everything i love about teachers. humor, interest, and passion.
When the professor is so good that a 13 year old listen to him
Nugget 👋🏻 13 year old here
When 13 year olds are watching this, the world still has hope 🎉🎊👍🏾!
I'm also thirteen ✌️
I’m also 13 😎
13 year old here as well!
I watch quite a lot of stuff on youtube, but this series of lectures is my favourite so far. I highly recommend to watch through the whole thing, and recommend it to anyone you can. This should be mandatory material for every human being.
I turn 30 next March, and have recently decided(after a year of a few more down than ups) that my mission for a good part of my 30's is to go back to college and get my second degree in Psychology. I have no idea if you have majored in that or not, and am currently watching the video. Would you say these video lectures are a good way of starting my education on psychology before I have even started schooling for it ?
Robert Oden did you go back to college??
@@RobertOden5 what did you end up doing?
.
@@RobertOden5 tell us! Did u end up studying it?
Very few teachers we find that enjoy the subject themselves and he's one of those. And those are the ones who make classes enjoyable and fun for students.
Are you indian brother
@@sameersayyad6170 haa bro. Kaha se ho aap?
@@lakshyajhambani1410 Pune
He has the most adorable laugh!
Am back here after watching the entire course, and I just want to say the professor and the entire course is really great and useful, it gives you a wide idea abt what psychology is abt, especially in a neuroscientist’s scope.
thanks Professor, thanks MIT
This guy is such a ball of joy, god I would be so excited to be a student in his class. THANKFULLY I can watch his lectures on here for free.
This man is the reason why I'm starting my University Summer School in PSYC 1010 AND PSYC 1020. THANK YOU
This professor is really good, fluid with his talk and very articulate and engaging. He definitely made tenure thats for sure.
My goodness, how generous to make this course available. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to the next videos.
great teacher, old school style, clear, to the point...perfect course, thanks.
I am deeply grateful for these free courses, I do not know English and I am learning, but I can see them with subtitles and they have helped me a lot, thank you for everything
this is like coolest lecturer ever!!!
who is the coolest lecteur? in what ways is this lecteur like the coolest lecteur?
If it's 'like [the] coolest', what's the coolest?
It's indeed one of the coolest lectures I've ever listened to
The 'sweet' exercise was so simple and yet it blew me away. In my opinion, this is the best professor i've come across for Psych 101. Not because of just the exercise, but also because of his ability to explain this so well. Psych is not at all easy. But Professor here makes it much more graspable.
Hmu for help with your school assignments
This is great for me as a high school student who plans on going to college and pursuing a career in phycology
So you want to study about Algae : Phycology
As a HNC student of the social sciences I'm absolutely loving this lecture. Would recommend anyone interested to go into study. I returned to education last year as a 44 year old student. Took my highers and am not looking back.. hoping to be a lecturer myself. This guy is such an inspiration 😎
Your comment really interested me. I'm 44 myself hoping to start studying psychology this year. How are things for you today?
@@Ericadbury fantastic gained my pass that I needed from this course and am doing a 2nd year entry BA in politics and scottish history. Absolutely worth all the effort. I wish you luck, go chase your education dreams
So does this mean I can now tell people I studied at MIT 😌 I love professors like him after all these years still have that excitement
It's always a humbling experience for me to learn of the many ways our minds interpret the world and ourselves, and how these interpretations are themselves susceptible to so many biases and limitations. I always try to remember to check myself at the door as soon as I enter into any situation where I have to make judgments about myself, others and the world, and since this is happening at every moment, I am constantly attempting to practice this humility to the point where it may one day become a habit. How much there is to learn, how much more there remains to be experienced! May we never think ourselves so complete in our body of knowledge that we lose the passion that drove us into the murky waters of its domain.
I love this man! He is really helping me! I love his course delivery
Wow he's the best professor I've ever seen I was smiling throughout the whole lecture, I love the way he's teaching, very friendly and a awesome person, I love him so much :3
That moment when you realize he's probably using subtle psychological hints to make the lesson more enjoyable
Thanks MIT for providing access to quality education free of cost. I love theteaching method of this professor, brilliant!!!
Thank you very much MIT and Professor Gabrieli, for this wonderful resource of information.
2020 and this is still a great thing to learn
16:44 Honestly this brought tears in my eyes for the people I had been thinking they are wrong.
One of the MOST INTERESTING and exciting courses that I EVER SAW!!! THANK YOU!!!
No school no more and found that I work best by myself and glad to say I sat through the whole thing and wrote notes 📝
What a great speaker! Even wrapped things up in a short summary at the end. He's good in my book, on to lecture 2 😃 ;)
Thanks, Professor for handling this content so smoothly 😊🌹
I took a psychology class a few semesters ago but just picked up psychology as a minor and this is an amazing refresher for future classes
Thankyou MIT for uploading it for free this content is super valuable ❤️❤️
He has become my favourite teacher
This is for the professor. I have always over analyzed everything. I've also finally realized over the past year that I want to know why I think, act, and react the way I do. I really really loved this course and I think you did an amazing job. Just so happens you picked BOTH mine and my son's birthday. What percent of people have told you that those 2 birthdays are significant? Has it happened before? YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEACHER I AM GOING TO CONTINUE THANK YOU!
I have got a lot of ideas about psychology from this lecture. Thanks a lot professor.
i like the way he was appreciating the questions asked by students...
I wish I was there in that class. What a great guy, intelligent with a great sense of humor, very positive attitude, motivated and pleasant.
Here for the lecture to get a head start for my course starting on Feb. 28, 2022. Wish me luck. 🙏🏽

This is a treasure trove of information. Thank you!
first class is always fun and great. Never an indicator of the rest of the year
god I don't want to work anymore... I want to study again and pursue my dreams.
I feel you
I feel that*
I will start my dream study this fall. And I turn 50 in January. It is never ever to late!

Thanks MIT for this free wonderful content. I am not going through lectures by order but my interest, so above is just index for convenient record keeping.
The three lines at the beginning are actually only in theory all the same length. This illusion is being supported by the placement of the centerpoint which is the origin for the two secondary shorter lines. Notice that this point is set directly on the line in the proclaimed shorter line of the three and set directly beside the proclaimed longest line. Obviously the illusion functions perfectly without this placement but I think it is not deniable that it is supported grately by it.
Brilliant lecturer. Going to complete the entire set of lectures. Thanks MIT for the great contribution.!
this is the longest video ive seen on youtube!
thank you so much for this content MIT!
Great Prof!! Discusses topics well and clearly.
I’ll never get enough of knowledge. It worries me because there’s so much to learn but so little time , our life is moving very fast nowadays
Can relate
You right so many ways
Wish there’s alot of professors like him, Not just like any lecturer that sits and let student stress themselves to memorize what lesson they have tackled. Instead they explain it deeper with fun activities, They should learn the importance of teaching in a fun and exciting way this will not just beneficial for us but also for the future of our nations.
This professor is so impressive man...
oh gosh, you have eng-sub. thank you for the course and the sub as well.
That professor is great. I loved it, looking forward to the rest :)
Thanks professor for giving us such a tremendous lectures
Though this lecture is 11 years old, this is so much fun to learn about or refresh your memory
Wow, such a refreshing lecture :), Thanks a lot for this lecture series!
Ayo this is so cool. I wish my college professors were this fun with their subject. They be reading the PPTs out or just showing us poorly animated CZcams lectures.
Having Gabrieli as a professor was so fun. He was so eccentric
What an excellent teacher he is, Mr. Gabrieli. Will be following this series religiously, Love from India sir!
I'm a teen who actually thinks seriously about acknowledging myself with psychology , it's definitely interesting and actually might help me understand people's behavior and interpret their activities and their way of thinking
chuuya pfp jumpscare bro
just love it!, incredible exercices... they all pull my knee!!!!!
This is great! The guy clearly enjoys teaching and psychology.
The idea he presents at the beginning about lots of things being rooted in psychology was exactly the idea I've had.
Some things like art seem to be purely psychological phenomenon, something like Philosophy as well. And even sciences that have to deal with understanding the objective world outside of our minds are still filtered by our perception and ability to perceive it
2019 and I am shook by a lot of this...
Notes :
1. 6:15 "Surrounding Matters"
2. 17:03 "expectations" drives you , what you see nxt
3. Automaticity 31:01
4. 47:15 Important
We can pay attention to a very limited number of things at a time ❤ 19:27
심리학강의 학교서 요즘듣는데 이 강의보다 좋은게없네요 모든거루커버해주시네요 감사해용
You can tell this guy truly enjoys teaching!
The optical illusions part reminds me of my color theory class.
I think that John is one of the most exciting people out there!!!
Great Video with nice explanations. All the Visual /optical illusions like criss-cross effect, The koffka ring, and White's illusion clearly show that even for simple things our minds make certain assumptions about how we interpret the world and that drives everything that we see and how we act upon what we see.
this chanel is the best thing i ever seen on internet
2019 who's here with me?
ayyyyyy
+1
let's do it!! how many of you got through the whole lecture
Here ✋ Getting ready to enroll in psychology here in a few months. Wanna be prepared.
Me 2019
he is such a great professor:)
Hello, Saumya!
Thank you for recommending this one.
wow! what an amazing resource this is..... I am so impressed with MIT. Thank you
I wish my colleges have great professor like you . Such a gem
Looking forward to my psychology 101 class next semester.... really wish this was my professor. One can wish to be accepted to MIT
Great lecture, Dr. Gabrieli!
This is so fascinating! I'm so glad it came up on my recommended :)
This provides me full understanding about psychology!
2021 anyone?
Haha. Yep.
Yep
Yes
Yep present
present...🙏
This professor is a cool guy; very informative and well spoken.
What a wonderful Professor!! Thank you.
I’m taking Psych 101 at a different school to get my required classes over with. I already work full time, run my own business, and volunteer for the human society so I’m hard pressed to find the time to actually read the textbooks. So this is very helpful. I can download the lectures, listen to them while I’m at work, and then do my assignments. It helps that it’s essentially the same class, although MIT seems to go a little bit more in depth than ours does. Perhaps one day I’ll be able to pursue my doctorate with MIT. I often listen to these lectures, even if I’m not taking the course or if it’s related to my field of study. It’s just great having open access to one of the most prestigious schools on the east coast to learn new stuff with. And because of these free lectures I do have my sights set on getting my doctorate here. MIT has definitely earned my respect
Good luck for that! Aim high!
Hi
Loved the class, thanks!
I wish i had an amazing teacher like him.
Congratulations and all the best for your success and happiness ❤️
