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....

A nice introduction overview of the field.

A note about the videos: if the animations are for the most part just the professor lecturing, then having an actual video footage of the lecture might be more engaging.

Lovely and Lively. An excellent showcase of introductory psychology. Couldn't think of better introductory psychology course than this. And the two sentences with which the Professor ends this course is so warm.
