It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior.

A nice introduction overview of the field.

A note about the videos: if the animations are for the most part just the professor lecturing, then having an actual video footage of the lecture might be more engaging.

Lovely and Lively. An excellent showcase of introductory psychology. Couldn't think of better introductory psychology course than this. And the two sentences with which the Professor ends this course is so warm.
