Is your school or workplace divided between the "creatives" versus the practical people? Yet surely, David Kelley suggests, creativity is not the domain of only a chosen few. Telling stories from his legendary design career and his own...

Social Learning Theory suggests that we learn not just by way of reward and punishment for actions, but instead we learn by observing others and imitating their behaviours. We watch, we copy, we practise. And one of the intriguing claims...

Was denkst Du? Können wir nur durch direkte Erfahrung lernen oder auch durch das Beobachten anderer? Um zu beweisen, dass Kinder durch bloßes Beobachten lernen können, entwickelte der amerikanisch-kanadische Psychologe Albert Bandura die...

Concepts of reliability and validity are central to all forms of science and this film provides an introduction to these concepts in terms of their definitions, types and applications.

Can we learn aggression from aggressive media? This film looks at experimental, longitudinal and case study research evidence and how social learning, script theory and susceptibility approaches can help understand and explain this...

This film outlines the broad similarities and differences between ""nature"" and ""nurture"" approaches to understanding human behaviour. It frames the debate around overtly aggressive behaviour illustrated by two classic applications:...

This film uses a range of classic studies to explore the strengths and limitations of laboratory experiments as a research method.

Social Learning Theory suggests that we learn not just by way of reward and punishment for actions, but instead we learn by observing others and imitating their behaviours. We watch, we copy, we practise. And one of the intriguing claims...

This film uses some famous psychological experiments (such as Bandura's BoBo doll and Loftus's Eyewitness Testimony) to show, rather than simply tell, students: what is meant by the experimental method in psychology, how laboratory...

Here we begin with a research question, what is the most effective time of day to learn new material, to illustrate the strengths and possible limitations of repeated measures, independent measure and matched pairs experimental designs....
