What This Course Can and Cannot Tell You
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Closing the course means stating which of its findings are settled, which are contested, and which have failed to replicate, and how a reader can check any of them.
Show
The course's own claims sorted honestly into three groups. The settled: conditioning, memory systems, the neuron. The contested: attachment's long reach, stereotype threat's magnitude, the universality of emotional expression. The failed or revised: facial feedback, the prison study's original reading, ego depletion, learning styles. Each sorted with the reason and the source. Ends where the course started — with the appendix, and how to check any number in it.
