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....

Professor Bloom is fantastic. Would highly recommend simply for the purpose of listening to his lectures. Even if you skip some of the reading course work, you'll get a lot by just viewing the lectures.

One of the best courses I have taken on Coursera so far. I loved the animation videos used and the knowledge of the professor and his style of teaching in the form of storytelling was really impressive.
