When Hank said "Do I smell pizza?" it reminded me that I actually had a pizza in the oven. I jumped up, rushed to the oven, and found the pizza perfectly done. So basically, Hank prevented the burning of my pizza. I'd almost totally forgotten about the thing! Thanks, Hank!

Why am I watching a video on consciousness and our attention spans and whatnot...then start scrolling through the comments only to find myself near the middle of them and realize Im supposed to be doing school work? Talk about selective attention...

Wow, I think this was the best CC-psyc episode yet. A broad and nuanced discussion in a succinct 9.5 min. Well done! Also, I'm glad to hear consciousness will get 3 episodes. In many undergrad courses, this topic gets shirked to make more time for instructors' pet topics (I'm guilty of this myself). Thanks for not taking that route!

I always watch these videos after studying for my psych exams as a complimentary aid . The visuals are very helpful and I enjoy your enthusiasm

unfortunately, ADHD destroys any ability to control what you're selectively paying attention to. this can lead to overstimulation, which is why i'm 20 and still frequently have meltdowns like a sleep deprived toddler. -__-

Waaaaay too many choices, too much input. I was MAD when the "little" store down the street shut down... It was the only one I could deal with. I could make decisions, I knew where things were, I could get in and get out easily. Now it's like a 2-3 hour struggle just to get some damn groceries! I start getting anxiety before I even leave the house, bc I know it's gonna take forever and it will get to the point where I just have to get the ---- out of there, even if I'm not done. God, I hate that I have to be this way!!! But too many choices for me=chaos in my head. I know, I'm prob just crazy huh? Lol

As of right now this was posted 9 years ago. And here I sit listening to baby face Hank. Still enjoying it. 😉

Here's the problem with defining Consciousness (at least, at present time): if we say that Consciousness is "The *awareness* of ourselves and our surroundings", define "awareness". And, obviously, as per the Rules of Reasoning, this should be done without creating a circular definition (e.g. by invoking Consciousness in said definition). Good luck with that. Heck, even consistently and definitively defining the separation between "ourselves" and "our surroundings" is hard to do without invoking Consciousness.

So much of this episode is super helpful for explaining and understanding what it means to be autistic. No (or at least reduced) selective attention. At a party or in a noisy room, I can't focus on one person talking and tune out the background. When I try to cross the street, I have to process every cigarette butt on the ground, every imperfection in the road, every sound of everything around me, and it can be difficult to figure out if there's a car somewhere in all that mess. And I'm always always always aware of the seams on my socks, the feel of the elastic band on my underwear, and the lopsided configuration of my teeth, every second of every day. When I take forever to figure out where something is or fail to notice one of the billion details I'm being bombarded with which non-autistic people automatically pick out as being important, people think I'm just not paying attention, but in fact, I can't help but pay attention, to EVERYTHING, which makes picking out the one important thing pretty impossible. Still, I also notice all the IMPORTANT stuff that everyone else tunes out, so it's not all bad.

The blood on the broken phone was hilarious!!

You are the reason I’m passing this class! I love you I’m so grateful for these videos

Thank you so much for these videos... They really help me to understand my psychology foundations so much better

These videos are helping with my english and psycology papers. Thank you for the super condensed information and points that would otherwise take days to find like with what Teller said. If you have anything specifically based on the pattern recognition part of the brain's sub-processor as I believe you called it that would be helpful.

"it's weird that there's a tongue in my mouth!" My first thoughts when I finally made it to 1st base :P

I was selectively concious about what you said and it makes me feel happy. thank you CC for all you interesting content!

You're the first person to have ever made me feel resentment toward my own tongue. Well done, sir.... Well done..

Hey, that figurative section on asking physicists and biologists about life and energy and matter is in the opening line of my psych textbook! Like word for word! Cool to know that the team uses the same resources I am, makes me feel like I'm actually learning and it's not for nothing.

I have to say that having been told about the bear and the gorilla, I was consciously aware of them, so I did notice them. Also, I think the best example of selective attention is our automatic breathing, or more likely as I've mentioned it, you should now be consciously breathing (for a short time at least, otherwise we'd be incredibly easy to kill)

I love Crash Course Psych so much. I took a number of psychology classes in college and some of this is stuff we never covered. Interesting stuff.

the ending music makes me happy. love this channel! 😊 they're fun

I don't do psychology, but this is really interesting and is making me wish I did so! Great job! This is so interesting

These are SO well done!! They really help me on my college psych course! Loving the graphics as well.

this one has got me thinking about my dyslexia. my selective attention is not very selective at all, I tend to be aware of sooooo much information that I get exhausted. it means I spot things others don't, but it also means because I am conscious of so many things I struggle to focus on the task at hand. the double edged sword of dyslexia!

If anything the addition of the guy in the bear outfit instantly focused my attention on him even more so due to the oddity of the outfit with his face showing.

KelsaRavenlock My hypothesis is that many of the people who noticed the bear and miscounted were not completely enticed to follow the instructions, whereas the people who counted correctly and noticed the bear were either knowingly searching for the bear, noticed the bear before it became clear it was unimportant and the brain discounted it as distraction, simply have good peripheral vision, or a mix of two or more of these reasonings. I, for example, noticed the bear and counted correctly, but I almost miscounted. I can deduct that I noticed the bear, but quickly deduced it to being a distraction.

Honestly, Hank, I learnt so much more than Consciousness. - I have a tongue and its existence is so weird now and that I am not wearing socks and that I wish I had pizza sooooo mucch and that you shouldn't text and drive and that I feel so potential with all this knowledge and that I am so going to start going on about how awesome this youtube channel is to anyone and everyone I can find and that everytime I watch these videos it answers my question but also creates way more questions and I end up binge watching crashcourse for 3 hours straight.
