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....

Don't waste your time with other Psychology courses on this website. This one is everything I expected it to be and I would take it over and over if I could. His voice is pleasant, the content is interesting, and I never once felt I needed to "get this over with." Well done!

The lecturer on this course was so clear with his explanations as well as brilliant illustrations to assist with visual learners. I was engaged throughout and I honestly don't think that would have been the case if it was taught by someone who wasn't as great as this lecturer.
