I'm really enjoying these lessons. Just a quick suggestion: if visual aids are required, it would be helpful to us if you made use of the "Attachments" portion of this Curious presentation format. It would help us know that we're pulling the proper recourses to compliment your lecture. Googling diagrams can yetis iffy results sometimes. Thank you!

The problem is, I don't want to run into copyright problems. I don't "own" any diagrams, and since I'm making money off of these I can wind up in trouble if I use someone else's diagrams. Your best bet, if you're serious about this, is to get a recent copy of an introductory psychology text and follow along; they should all cover the basics. It can be an older edition; try thrift stores, garage sales, or half.com and you can probably get one for a few bucks.

Great information. It's been years since I've taken psychology (mid-80s) and this is such a great refresher. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing for these lessons.
Dr. Lisa
Thank you for the praise! I'm glad you find the videos useful. I'm hoping to post additional videos this summer.
