Venue: Laby Theatre, Laby Theatre
Presenters: Professor Scott Lilienfeld
The modern world is a bewildering mix of fact and fiction, and of well-supported, dubious, and downright outlandish claims. Nevertheless, the media rarely helps the public to distinguish science from pseudoscience in everyday life. In this talk, Dr. Lilienfeld will outline basic principles for evaluating remarkable claims regarding human behavior and popular psychology, such as extrasensory perception, belief in UFOS, and fringe psychotherapies.
This 2016 Brotherton Public Lecture will be presented by Dr Scott Lilienfeld
