Everyday Neuro: Psychology and Neuroscience Podcast

In this episode, I introduce the topic of ethical considerations in psychological research and describe past research experiments that are now deemed as potentially harmful. I will be telling you about three famous studies that may make you question not only the impact that taking part in research has on participants, but also on the investigators and how the results are portrayed, with some now the focus of docudramas such as the 2018 movie, Three Identical Strangers.

In this episode, I discuss theories of human development including a look at the psychologists who proposed them and how these contribute to our current understanding of learning. I talk about neuroimaging research of the developing brain and how this lends support to the psychological theories. I also look at how we use internal concepts called schemas to help understand and modify our knowledge of the environment and how these can shape the way we form relationships in adult life, including the use of schema therapy.
