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....

Un curso muy amplio e interesante. Explicado de formas muy sencillas para aquellos que no teníamos conocimientos previos... Además de esto, es bastante manejable el nivel de inglés necesario.

Recomiendo ampliamente este curso.

This is basic course on psychology but I enjoyed studying it as it allowed me to understand the studying of Psychology. I think many learners will take advantages of this course for themselves, their study or work they do.

Es un gran curso para adentrarse en los estudios de la conducta y la mente. Paul explica y ejemplifica bien cada uno de los temas abordados. Quisiera que las lecturas pudiesen ser traducidas directamente desde la plataforma.
