Channel Title: PsychExamReview Channel Description: Psych Exam Review provides tutorials and answers to common questions, with explanations of the key concepts in psychology and statistics. These videos cover content in introductory psychology, introductory statistics, and tips for improving learning, and can help students enrolled in university, AP, or IB programs. I try to explain concepts as if I were tutoring a student; going over key terms and explaining why these ideas matter for deeper conceptual understanding. About the host: Michael Corayer earned his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Harvard in 2006 and has taught Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Psychology programs in Shanghai and Singapore for over a decade. He is the author of Master Introductory Psychology, a guide that helps students learn the most important concepts in psychology.

Description: In this video I explain probability density functions and how these are used to describe the distribution of a population and estimate the probabilities for different ranges of scores within that distribution. I also explain why the probability for a specific value of a variable is always 0, even then we are still able to estimate probabilities using the area under the probability density curve. </video> <video> Psychology in 22 Minutes Description: In this video I provide a comprehensive overview of the many subfields of psychology and how these fit together to provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of human thought and behavior. These include units on history and early approaches, research methods, biological bases of behavior, sensation and perception, states of consciousness, learning theory and behaviorism, memory, language and cognition, intelligence, personality, emotion and motivation, developmental psychology, stress and health psychology, social psychology, and the study of psychological disorders and their treatments. </video> <video> How to Detect Infrared Light #perception #psychology #sensationandperception #perceptiondemo Description: </video> <video> Psychology Practice Questions - Psychological Disorders Description: This video covers 10 practice multiple choice questions on psychological disorders and includes questions related to diagnosis, symptom types, specific disorders, and more. I hope this can help you to review your knowledge and understanding, let me know if you have any suggestions for future practice and review videos! A pdf with these questions and explanations is available here: https://psychexamreview.com/psychological-disorders-practice-questions/ </video> <video> What is Kurtosis? Description: In this video I explain the concept of kurtosis. I explain the terminology for kurtosis coined by Karl Pearson, a number of common misconceptions related to kurtosis, how kurtosis is calculated for a sample, and how kurtosis is interpreted for assumptions about normality and the detection of outliers. DeCarlo (1997) On the Meaning and Use of Kurtosis http://www.columbia.edu/~ld208/psymeth97.pdf Westfall (2014) Kurtosis as Peakedness; 1905-2014 R.I.P https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4321753/ </video> <video> Speech to Song Illusion Demo #psychology #psychexamreview #perception #perceptualillusion Description: </video> <video> The Rhythm of Education #educationalpsychology #education #learning #studytips #AlfredNorthWhitehead Description: </video> <video> How to Calculate Skew Description: In this video I explain two formulas for calculating skew: Pearson's Median Skewness or Pearson's 2nd equation for skew, and the Adjusted Fisher-Pearson Standardized 3rd Moment Coefficient for skew. I also explain some general guidelines for interpreting skew values, as well as some caveats for drawing conclusions. Doane & Seward (2011) Measuring Skewness: A Forgotten Statistic? http://jse.amstat.org/v19n2/doane.pdf </video> <video> Reading summaries is not as helpful as creating them Description: </video> <video> The Standard Normal Curve, Empirical Rule, & Z-Scores Description: In this video I explain how we can use the equation for a normal curve to generate a probability density function and use that to estimate probabilities. While normal curves may differ in where they are centered and how spread out they are, the probabilities associated with comparable sections will always be the same. This means that we can generate a standard version of the normal curve which is centered at 0 with a standard deviation of 1, and then use this estimate the probabilities for any normal curve by converting to standard deviation units, known as Z-scores. The Empirical Rule, or 68-95-99.7 rule tells us the percentage of scores in a normal distribution that will fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean. </video> <video> Psychology Practice Questions - Treatment of Mental Illness Description: This video covers 10 practice multiple choice questions on the treatment of mental illness and includes questions related to therapeutic approaches, pharmaceuticals, & efficacy of treatments. I hope this can help you to review your knowledge and understanding, let me know if you have any suggestions for future practice and review videos!

Description: In this video I explain how moments are used in statistics in order to describe the characteristics of a distribution. The first four moments help to tell us about the mean, variance, skew, and kurtosis of a distribution and allow us to make comparison between distributions. I define raw or crude moments and how changing reference points can provide centralized and standardized moments to describe the shape of a distribution. </video> <video> Psychology Practice Questions - Stress & Health Psychology Description: This video covers 10 practice multiple choice questions on stress & health psychology and includes questions related to immune function, personality, stress management, coping strategies, and more. I hope this can help you to review your knowledge and understanding, let me know if you have any suggestions for future practice and review videos! A pdf with these questions and explanations is available here: https://psychexamreview.com/stress-health-psychology-practice-questions/ </video> <video> How to Use a Z Table (Standard Normal Table) Description: In this video I explain how to use a z-table or a standard normal table in order to calculate the percentage of scores below, above, or between z-scores for a normal distribution. Finding the areas under the curve associated with different z-scores allows for the calculations of probability in a normal distribution is a fundamental underlying concept in hypothesis testing.
