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 matched my recall (1993) of Intro Psych. I took the course to review new ideas in the field. Knowledge of the existence of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy made this course worth the time.

Wow!\n\nThis course was very interesting, the way Professor Bloom arranged the lectures and simplified them made understanding the course quite easy. This was a good way to spend the covid-19 break

Foundations
In this module, you will learn about foundational psychological theories and findings in psychology. We will start with the discovery that our mental lives have a physical basis, introducing the field of neuroscience. And then we will turn to two major psychological theories that have come to shape the world that we now live in—Freud’s psychodynamic theory and Skinner’s theory of behaviorism.
