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....

Very kind and wise and humble words combined with a warm and tender voice ! The content could include more details. I also enjoyed Professor Bloom's avatar and his changing cloths and other cartoons.

Aulas excelentes e material excelente que formam um curso excepcional como ponto de partida para quem não tem conhecimento algum sobre Psicologia e quer "se situar" (muito bem situado) no assunto

Realmente excelente, me encanta que sea rigurosamente científico y honesto, creo que todas las personas deberían tomarlo pues es lo mínimo que deberíamos saber sobre como funciona nuestra mente.

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.

Really enjoyed this professor. I majored in psych many years ago and really enjoyed relearning what I had forgotten. I have to argue though that the readings take way longer than 10 minutes!
