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....

Professor Bloom is very engaging and knows how to capture and keep a student's attention - even though it's an online course and you're talking to an Avater.

Wonderful! I just wish that the lectures were longer and more detailed. I wish that the articles could be made into lectures. Thank you for this opportunity.

I never knew it was so loaded and impartive like this.

I'm blessed

I thereby encourage others to learn, unlearn and relearn.

God bless Paul bloom and teams.
