Topics in Psychology
STEP 1: Visit the TED Talks websiteLinks to an external site. and search for a talk on the subject matter of psychology (you must find a TED talk that connects to one of the chapters we covered this semester). Watch one of the talks that interest you, as long as it is a minimum of 8 minutes in length. At the top of your response, include the title of the TED Talk, the name of the presenter, when it was filmed, along with a link to the video.
STEP 2: In an essay of between 200-400 words, respond to the following:
Give a summary of the TED talk, emphasizing the speaker’s main points
What did you find most interesting about the talk, and what will you most likely remember from the talk?
What type of data or evidence did the presenter show to back up his or her information? Review the Chapter on Psychological Research.
What area of psychology (think chapters covered this semester) did this presentation focus on? Compare and contrast what you learned in class and what you learned in the TED talk.
What other questions would you have for this presenter if you could have a conversation with him or her? What else would you like to know about the topic?
