Link in bio. In a 1950s experiment at McGill University, isolation and sensory deprivation for three days straight caused vivid imagery and dream-like hallucinations. Some subjects saw wallpaper-like patterns. Others saw prehistoric animals or little yellow men. In one strange case, a subject saw an army of squirrels with sacks over their shoulders. The squirrels were marching “purposefully” across a snowy field.

Do you see a rabbit or a duck? It might depend on the time of year. In a 1993 study, it was revealed that when shown the picture in October most people reported seeing a duck, but on Easter most people saw a rabbit (Brugger & Brugger, 1993). The study illustrates how context plays an important role in our perception. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... #psychology #psicologia #psychologia #psychologie #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #psychologymemes #psychologyhumor #easter #easterrabbit #easterbunny #forgottenpsychology #historyofpsychology #history #historicalphotos #vintage #vintagephotography #science #weirdhistory #therapy #motivation #mentalhealth #strange #weird #bizarre #personaldevelopment #rabbitsofinstagram #bunny #womenshistorymonth #mentalhealthawareness

The “doll test” showed that, given the choice between playing with a black doll or white doll, African-American children preferred playing with the white doll. The findings suggested African-American children had a poor self-image and low self-esteem, and the effect was much worse in kids from segregated schools. The experiments, conducted by Mamie and Kenneth Clark, had a pivotal role in ending segregation. ... ... ... ... ... ... #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #psychology #psicologia #psychologie #psychologia #historyofpsychology #psychologyhistory #historyofscience #forgottenpsychology #psychiatry #mentalhealth #vintagephotos #psychologyfacts #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #schizophrenia #depression #dolltest #brownvboardofeducation #motivation #personaldevelopment #psychological #psychologymemes #1930s #hbcu #educationalpsychology #historicalphotos #mentalhealthawareness #civilrights

She sadly died in a car wreck a year later... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #psychology #psicologia #psychologie #psychologia #historyofpsychology #psychologyhistory #historyofscience #forgottenpsychology #psychiatry #mentalhealth #vintagephotos #psychologyfacts #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #schizophrenia #depression #prairieview #universityofcincinnati #motivation #personaldevelopment #psychological #psychologymemes #1930s #hbcu #educationalpsychology #historicalphotos #mentalhealthawareness

Link in bio. Vintage 1967 ad for Ritalin suggests the drug can spark energy and enthusiasm... ... ... ... “Certainly Ritalin isn't going to make a sprinter out of the man barely able to drag himself through the day. But this gentle stimulant can spark energy -- and enthusiasm -- in the chronically fatigued, mildly depressed patient. With vitality increased and outlook brightened, the patient finds daily tasks no longer loom so large, nor do life's problems seem so serious. Unlike most antidepressants, Ritalin acts promptly -- is less likely than amphetamines to cause excessive stimulation, sudden letdown, appetite suppression, alterations in pulse rate or blood pressure. Ritalin is widely cited for its outstanding safety record; untoward effects on blood, urine, or liver and kidney function are not to be anticipated. Side effects, if they occur, are generally mild.”... ... ... #psychology #psicologia #psychologie #psychologia #historyofpsychology #historyofscience #forgottenpsychology #psychiatry #mentalhealth #vintagephotos #psychologyfacts #psychologystudent #psychologymajor #psychologyhumor #schizophrenia #adhd #adhdparenting #depression #ritalin #personaldevelopment #eerie #weird #strange #psychological #psychologymemes #1960s #historicalphotos #funny #vintagead #mentalhealthawareness
