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....

Paul Bloomer's teaching methodology should be implemented for other courses to stimulate interest in vital fields of the modern world. It was a pleasure to have such an insightful professor as my mentor during the course.

This course was excellent. I think it would have been better if the teacher had spoken personally and not his animation. In any case, I learned a lot and it encourages me to continue learning about human behavior. :)

I was provided with an excellent overview, it made sense of many questions I asked, or would have asked, and explained new things to me. I did not start from zero, and wanted to up my knowledge, and got what I asked for.

Éste curso es lo que me faltaba para organizar los conocimientos sobre psicología que he adquirido a través de los años. He aprendido más de lo que esperaba y lo he aprovechado al máximo . Lo recomiendo absolutamente.

The course is very well structured and knowledgeable. The lectures are quite engaging but watching animated videos rather than a real human performance was a bit difficult for me at first. Overall still, a great course.

This is way too better than what I expected. I gained a quite good knowledge about the field of psychology. I would be forever grateful to my teacher, Prof. Paul Bloom for teaching us these things in an interesting way.
