This is what you’re looking for – a brief audio podcast in which I give you some crazy images that will stick in your mind for a really long time. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll have the six stages memorized. Some of my listeners have said that the mnemonics they’ve learned here have stuck in the stuck in their head for years!

November 20, 2013The audio was great! I don’t see any options to download PDF files or videos. Is there a section or do I need the app?
Thank you this – very helpful!

November 20, 2013Kohlberg –> Cohlberg on PCP. The Preacher has to obey or he will be punished so he sells fish (Jesus Fish) to the congregation. The Convict isn’t having it. He conforms to the norms of society so he stays home and binge watches Law and Order. The doorbell rings and it’s the Post-Man delivering a contract but he realizes he’s at the wrong house so he makes a U-turn OR U-reversal*(Universal a stretch I know lol). You could also insert important persons name that made it to this stage of Moral Development like MLK or Ghandi. Thanks for the help in giving ideas for a way to tie this all together. Hopefully I’ll rock out the MCAT

November 20, 2013“selfish” rhymes with “shellfish” so I imagined a preacher swatting at bees with a lobster (a shellfish).

November 20, 2013Hey! While watching your video I thought of a good idea for stage Four (door). You can say Stage 4: Law and Or-(door).

November 20, 2013on the moral behavior of etihcs professors, some for psych journals and some for philosophy journals. I’m thinking that this one is better for a psych journal because it’s pretty heavy on the statistics.Josh Rust and I are presently at work drafting one aimed for a philosophy journal: “The moral behavior of ethicists: Peer opinion”, based on our . Once we’re happy with a draft, I’ll post a link here.

November 20, 2013I know we devote a whopping 1/3 of our brain to visual cortex but was just wondering if the memorization always had, or should, be visual imagery? For instance, when you mentioned Law & Order I immediately thought of that opening sound, "dun dun"!
