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....

If someone wants to have a basic understanding of what psychology is all about, then no course is better than by Paul Blooms' Intro to psychology. And it's also helpful to analyze that if you can pursue a discourse of contemporary psychology or not.

This was my first ever online course, and it couldn't have been better. I was honestly impressed with how engaging the videos were, how well structured and thought-provoking. Wish some of my real-life professors would have been more like Paul Bloom!

This course is astonishing. The animation is simple yet delightful, and the subjects explore much more than what beginners, such as me, think psychology is about. The variation in topics are really interesting and shows how deep the field reaaly is.

A comprehensive introduction covering the key areas. Excellent preparation for graduate work where one does not have a background in psychology. The course content and materials were more than adequate. I think I did a full program! Thank you.

Professor Bloom is deep, captivating and hilarious. The cartoon format is light years beyond the talking head format so many use to awkward ends. I feel like I got two semesters of information out of this concise but thorough course. Bravo, Paul.
