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....

An engaging and thoughtful introduction to a wide variety of topics in the field of psychology. My only complaint is that Dr. Bloom doesn't have any more advanced courses listed here. And I LOVED the animatied format!

Engaging and informative! The professor does a marvelous job taking such a broad and complex topic and condensing it down to six weeks of lectures. It has helped me decide if Psychology is something I want to pursue.
