Sensation and Perception: Crash Course Psychology #5

Spread The Viralist



Just what is the difference between sensing and perceiving? And how does vision actually work? And what does this have to do with a Corgi? In this episode of Crash Course Psychology, Hank takes us on a journey through the brain to better explain these and other concepts. Plus, you know, CORGI!

  1. Man i am watching this serious and honestly most stuff are quite overwhelming! I will definitely need to watch it again to memorize some fun facts :))

  2. There's a reason why he says ,"If you were paying attention……."
    My attention gets deviated atleast once in 5 min. And you will all agree that he says 5 different things even in a fraction of a second. Now I know why I have to see the Same video twice to understand it COMPLETELY !

  3. as a non-native speaker it was gratifying to hear hank say "all of your sex" and proceed to talk about the incredible experiments of sex

  4. it took three times until I was able to focus
    in the explanation without me thinking
    "omg so cute, look his eyes" kkk <3 adorable corgi

  5. Hank: Talks about the inner complexities of the brain, integral parts of biology, explains complicated sciences
    Also Hank: His name is Michael Aranda and he's a dumbhead.

  6. Isn’t it actually that the left sides of both eyes are contolled by the right side of the brain and vice versa – not a whole left eye and a whole right eye to the opposite sides of the brain??

  7. I absolutely love your videos, but somehow your speed of talking makes me so aggressive, that I sometimes pause the video to process what you just said. Your videos would be way more helpful, if you could just try to talk slower so people can actually follow you without feeling stressed

  8. This makes perfect sense why any type of substance I try to get other people to look into and it’s not just different opinions it’s there mind attraction’s

  9. If you want people to learn from these videos, don't jump cut or speak to fast. Give us time and space to register the information into our brains. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has trouble remembering what you tell us.

  10. This guy is definitely a William Shatner fan.
    Also I am pretty sure at the time of these recordings, he was meeting in cafés pretty often, and he likes dogs.
