About

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.

Video Description

www.psychexamreview.com In this video I introduce several potential obstacles to problem-solving including overconfidence, illusory superiority, belief bias, and belief perseverance. Then I describe a "consider the opposite" strategy for potentially reducing the influence of bias when interpreting evidence that supports or contradicts our pre-existing beliefs.
