The main thing to remember: For optimal functioning, change needs to be possible but difficult ;-)

 

Please make sure you watch the "Marshmallow Test" video before taking the quiz.

The other videos are optional but also interesting ;-)

Quiz 2 available now. Due to the delay, the deadline has been moved to Sunday, March 22.

A new version of the presentation without the horrible typos is also available.

The following three exciting lectures will be delivered by my colleagues Katka Bartošová and Jiří Čeněk.

The last lecture of the semester (April 29) will probably be devoted to some groundbreaking research on human cognition:

- how human memory works

- how we perceive things

- how is our cognition intertwined with our behaviour

 

Silvia Barcellos on the Standford Marshmallow Test

 

James Gross on emotion regulation (optional)

 

Roy Baumeister on "the science of willpower" (optional)

 

Dan Ariely on delay of gratification (optional)
