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 have learned quite a lot. My favourite area though is Clinical Psychology and Positive Psychology. I believe I will be better able to understand persons around me.

Es sólo un curso introductorio, pero el profesor y el material me han parecido excepcionales. no he sido capaz de traducir al español los cuestionarios y eso me ha hecho dudar más, pero así he practicado inglés. Todo perfecto. Gracias

Please kindly increase the span of the course, it would be helpful for the comprehensive study of the topics. Present course provides just an overall idea about psychology. Moreover, the course was just like trying to justify its title

Genial el curso, muy completo, dinamico e interesante. El profesor excelente. Mi escolaridad es licenciatura en Ingenieria Quimica, nada que ver con este curso, pero es tan bueno que voy a buscar màs, tal vez hasta cambie de carrera.

I've heard that psychology is hard, but from this course, I only felt the power, not difficulty, of psychology. Professor Bloom is good at bringing full understandings to students, though he had some of his own opinion on some events.
