About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

Very kind and wise and humble words combined with a warm and tender voice ! The content could include more details. I also enjoyed Professor Bloom's avatar and his changing cloths and other cartoons.

The course was really good but I felt that the last session regarding to happiness was not as deep as the rest of the course. I feel we can learn much more of that... it was a bit shallow at the end.

Es un curso es bastante interesante , aborda los temas de manera general, pero las lecturas sirven por si quieres adentrar más en un tema. Los vídeos son bastante dinámicos, me agrado mucho el curso.

Excellent course for an introduction to the world of psychology. It's a shame there isn't enough time to deepen into some of these topics, such as psychology or mental illness, which are fascinating.

Insights about multiple dimensions of Psychology got me questioning what "I thought I knew about ourselves". I loved the animations in the videos and the arguments put forth by Professor Paul Bloom.

This course is fantastic for people who wants to get a better understanding of psychology overall. If you're one of those, you'll realize that psychology goes way beyond of just Clinical Psychology.

This course matched my recall (1993) of Intro Psych. I took the course to review new ideas in the field. Knowledge of the existence of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy made this course worth the time.
