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 interesting and well done course! The animation was excellent! The only complaint I had was that sometimes (mostly in week 5) the animations covered up what was typed up on the "powerpoint" and it made it hard to copy down the notes.

Exceptionally wonderful and engaging course. Prof. Bloom took each topic through various examples and incidents that made the whole course easily understandable and interesting. Looking for more courses mentored by Prof. Bloom in future.

Es sólo un curso introductorio, pero el profesor y el material me han parecido excepcionales. no he sido capaz de traducir al español los cuestionarios y eso me ha hecho dudar más, pero así he practicado inglés. Todo perfecto. Gracias

Please kindly increase the span of the course, it would be helpful for the comprehensive study of the topics. Present course provides just an overall idea about psychology. Moreover, the course was just like trying to justify its title
