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....

I thoroughly enjoyed this course largely due to Dr. Bloom's teaching style. It was fun and exciting, learning about Psychology and I am certainly focused on more studies focused on the subject of cognitive behavior.

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.
