  • The Base Rate Fallacy: Why Psychologists Get Diagnoses Wrong

    The Base Rate Fallacy: Why Psychologists Get Diagnoses Wrong
    Oct 14 2026
    A psychological test can have 90% sensitivity and specificity and still produce more false positives than true positives. This episode examines the base rate fallacy, why psychologists sometimes overestimate diagnostic accuracy, and how Bayesian reasoning improves clinical judgment. We also explore how the same statistical error affects forensic risk assessments and why the human brain struggles with probability.

  • Dopamine Pathways: What EPPP Candidates Actually Need to Know

    Dopamine Pathways: What EPPP Candidates Actually Need to Know
    Oct 6 2026
    The EPPP does not require you to become a neuroanatomist, but it does expect you to recognize the major dopamine pathways and what happens when dopamine activity changes within them. This episode simplifies the mesolimbic, mesocortical, nigrostriatal, and tuberoinfundibular pathways by connecting each one to the symptoms and medication side effects most likely to appear on the exam. By the end, you should be able to work backward from a clinical vignette and identify the dopamine pathway being tested.
