Document Summary

These are the lessons" that a century of psychology has taught us, and they can deeply change the way you understand yourself, others and the world around you. These are also useful heuristics" to keeps in mind as you go through the course, and psych more generally. By understanding these insights, you can in fact infer for yourself quite a bit of what you are going to learn in this and other psych courses. we take in only a limited amount of what is going on around us and through this we make our perception with that limited amount of information. reality doesn"t change, a persons perception does. The brain cannot remember something it will just fill it in with something that fits, maybe something from the past. the brain has different neural patterns for different people and things. people who are similar will have similar neural patterns.
