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....

Una introducción muy completa y amena. Se nota que Paul Bloom es un apasionado de su campo. 100% recomendable para introducir el "gusanillo" de la psicología en no iniciados.

Excelente curso. Sólo anotar que el tiempo asignado para las lecturas al final de cada módulo es irreal, no se pueden hacer esas lecturas de manera cuidadosa en diez minutos.
