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....

The course was extremely useful as well as engaging. The original videos of experiments were worth watching. The professor, Paul Bloom, did explain basics with good examples. Thank you Coursera!!

Nicely dont, well presented. Animation/cartoon format instead of videos is something new and unusual but it works. Only relevant, scientific information. Easily one of the best MOOCs I've taken.

Interesante, dinámico y entretenido soy docente de niños hasta 6 años y es enriquecedor tener una idea general del mundo de la sicología ya que mi profesión va estrechamente ligada a este campo.

Now this was very interesting. And I loved the course. It gave me a lot of insight on the difference in mental illness and how most people can use there mental illness to get away with a crime.
