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.

Très bien conçu. Une bonne approche de la psychologie au sens large avec toutefois une conception essentiellement américaine.

Being all new to psychology, this was right what I needed. Well explained, but not too much in-depth for the starter! Thanks!

The course is really interesting, well-structured, not super-intense (but then it's an 'introduction'). Totally worth taking.
