In many ways, the Ted Talk overlaps with the psychology textbook. Two ways that it overlaps in my option is cognitivism or cognitive psychology and social influences. To begin with, let's start with cognitivism. Cognitivism is the framework for understanding behavior. In this school of psychology, they focused on the aspect of thinking; they believed that “thinking affects behavior in powerful ways” (Lilienfeld et al., 2016, p. 9). This relates to the Ted talk because while Jill was talking about her experience while having the stoke, she says that her mind was going back and forth between reality and “La La Land” while that was happening her behavior changed as well. In her La La Land she was not thinking rationally, she was a carefree human
Is the FBI as righteous as they would like us to think? In the Ted Talk titled, “Trevor Aaronson: How this FBI strategy is actually creating US-based terrorists,” the orator describes in his speech how FBI agents worked hand-in-hand with individuals who would eventually be arrested in sting operations, on terrorism charges. To tackle the complex topic of his speech, the speaker starts off with his thesis, a bold statement accusing the FBI of being for more terrorist plots than any terrorist group on Earth (Aaronson). On top of this, the speakers thesis doubles as his hook, since his Canadian audience would assume that the FBI worked as fighters of crime, and not purveyors of it. To back up his claim, Aaronson describes multiple cases, as well as shows multiple pictures to go along with his stories. The way Aaronson blends stats and stories together effectively explains how the FBI creates terrorists in the United States.

In the Ted Talk, “How Augmented Reality Will Change Sports...and Build Empathy” Chris Kluwe discusses how augmented reality should be implemented in daily lives. Augmented reality allows people to see what someone else is seeing. It gives a different perspective for fans to experience what the players are going through. Chris Kluwe explains how augmented reality can be used in football. He says how it can be installed in the player’s visor, and it will provide information such as plays, and oncoming tacklers.
This would fall under over generalization. I believe that me taking a small argument or incident that many times has nothing to do with myself, and turning on to negative thought about myself not being good enough for other person is something I definitely
put your opinion in e.g. I believe this perspective can help an individual who has a fear or phobia by seeing why the individual is so scared. I also think that the behaviourist perspective can help measure changes of a behaviour. On the other hand I feel that the behaviourist perspective doesn’t take in the biological perspective.

"Why psychology isn't unified, and probably never will be" written by C.D. Green (2015) examines the history of psychology and opinions on how to reach unification. Overall, his arguments were satisfactory and provided many different opinions. He discussed plenty of different psychologists in history and how their ideas and models were either valid or irrelevant to unifying psychology. This was important in order to see how far this subject has come, and to understand that the problems with unifying this discipline are not new and have been a subject of debate for years. Green (2015) did a good job on describing what "unifying" meant to him and what psychology needed to achieve in order to become unified. He was able to back this up with past

The ted talk “The Linguistic Genius of Babies” by Kuhl (2010) tells about babies are genius on language learning, and shows some results of research as proof of this idea. The article “Learning a Language as an Adult” by Pakenham, McEntire, and Williams (2013) shows an idea about the “critical period hypothesis”, children during this period learn much better than people older than this age, especially in pronunciation, because their brain activities are different than adults during this time. Personally, I totally believe the idea of children younger learn better, because the scientific research and data are shown to audiences, and they are persuasive enough. And I do see proof in my life, like four of my Korean friends who came China around
In “Why I keep speaking up, even when people mock my accent,” Safwat Saleem, shows his passion and his courageous side when speaking in his Ted Talk, describing the main idea of there not being such a thing of normalcy, as well as arguing that individuals should be confident and accept who they are from their special qualities. Agreeing with Saleem (2016), however to also consider it has become common in today’s society to want to be normal. Therefore many people would not agree with wanting to be exactly known as quote on quote ‘normal’ but they may want to assimilate to norms because that person is or may be in a unique way socially accepted.
In the Ted Talk, the presenter Daniel Reisel talks about how we can change both our society and mindset. Reisel demonstrates an example about prisoners in a high- security and it's filled with aggressive prisoners. He talks about what triggers that behavior that those prisoners have and what can be the cure for them. Reisel talks about the Joe the prisoner and how he tested Joe and his inmates to see their ability to categorize images of emotions. The inmates failed to show emotions and to show physical response for the images they were showed. It showed that the inmates had a deficit in their brain that was ¨amygdala” that was proven by their MRI scan. Amygdala is known for our experience of empathy in which the inmates did not have causing
When it comes to choice it always seems to be a love hate relationship: we hate making them, but we can’t live without them. Anyone can all look back to a time in our lives where they wish someone could just pick for us, or times when we wish there were more to choose from. All Americans have many choices, and it is such a part of our daily lives that we don’t even realize it. Barry Schwartz and Sheena Iyengar‘s TED talks bring up interesting ideas about choice, how people deal with them and their affects. They both state that although choice is good, it can also have negative effects. Schwartz explains what most people believe and experience with choice, while Iyengar shows cultural differences in choice making. Both Schwartz and Iyengar
This research article was taken from the Association for Psychological Science (APS) Journal. This specific issue had a total of ten articles, and while they are covering different topics and studies, some of them do focus on similar ideas. Psychology is all about the study of the mind, and how it has different parts intended for unique functions. It seems like a good portion of the articles for this specific journal deal with emotions and how the body interprets them. One article deals with the stress of different generations, while another deals with an individual’s willpower against sugar. There is an article about self-esteem and how that varies during a lifetime, as well as an article on cooperation. The article that will be specifically discussed in this research paper also has to deal with how the body interprets things when it comes to a stressful situation, such as a crime. It looks at how reliable eyewitness testimony is after traumatic events, specifically in regards to lineups.
Authored by Keith E. Stanovich, How to Think Straight About Psychology is a known work of the psychology world which was published in 1986. Beginning courses in psychology use his text frequently. Stanovich primary purpose for writing the text is to bring attention to his observation that the public’s understanding of psychology is different from psychology as a modern science. Psychology as a modern science explains the underlying functions that shape human attitudes and behavior. To the people who misunderstand this, the field of psychology is not a real science, but a pseudo-science instead. How to Think Straight About Psychology describes people’s several false impressions of psychology and it gives its readers a factual understanding of the field as a modern and scientific psychology while explaining how this science works.
