Into the Mind: Episode 1: Mind Control dvd

The first in a 3 part series presented by Dr Michael Mosley which explores the human mind through psychological experiments of the last century, and questions the ethics of how far some experimenters were prepared to go in their quest for knowledge. Original footage of many of these experiments makes uncomfortable viewing at times.
Episode 1 focuses on the bizarre and sinister ways in which science has been used to try and control our minds, featuring studies by Pavlov, Skinner, Milgram and Robert Heath.

The Mind's Storehouse: memory dvd
Ref: 1746
This fascinating film opens the door onto the amazing way our brain encodes, stores, processes and retrieves information. Including comments from Loftus and Shiffrin we learn how vital memory is and how it can be affected by experience and physical damage.
Starting with an explanation of the multi-store model and moving on to explain Ebinghaus' theory of the effect on memory of processing, viewers follow key developments in our understanding of memory. The case study of HM explores memory as a biological function within the hippocampus and includes the role of amygdala.
Elizabeth Loftus talks about her research into changes to memory and why she challenges Freudian beliefs in repressed memories. Her work has proven key with regard to the understanding of the reliability of eyewitness testimonies, especially in legal cases.
This film is particularly relevant to current AQA and OCR GCSE specifications and
AQA AS specifications.
