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....

Interesting information, good narration, very good additional reading, all in a high speed. The animation that accompanies the course, almost makes it feel like a pod-cast - I didn't mind, note taking did not allow for too much watching anyway

This course contributed me some appropriate knowledge of Psychology which may help me increase my communicate ability with my patients. In addition, this course broaden my horizon of psychology- one of the most mistery area on the human mind.

Excellent course, I am enjoying every minute of it! The only issue is time limit, for instance theee is 10 min allocated for the reading in each week, but it is impossible not only to take in but not even to read the whole article in 10 min.

I found many 'a-ha' moments while learning. I got to know about the mind, the brain, how complex is a human body. I also got some hints to answer my questions about the things around me. Overall, I think this is a good course for a beginner.

The course is a valuable learning experience as I feel I’m being challenged along the way. Generally, I am impressed with the service I have received from Coursera. With this course I can take my time and absorb the knowledge at my own way.

If you're looking for a comprehensive course on Introduction to psychology, pick this one. The lessons are ties to each other on the manner that it is continuous. Also, it engages critical thinking via posting some controversial questions.

Extremely Helpful, I have been interested in psychology all my life and was amazing to go through the process of formal education as it enforced some of my beliefs but more importantly completely disproved some other, giving explanations.
