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....

This course is very insightful and I learned a lot. But my favorite areas are clinical psychology and positive psychology. I think you can better understand the people around you.

The course included all the topics that one needs to know about when getting an introduction to psychology. Yet, no section was only briefly mentioned without a detailed explanation.
