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....

I just ended this course smiling & 'happy' with the final topic. 🎉 Thank you for the wonderful experience. Professor Bloom did a great job in explaining and a very pleasant, soothing voice to present!

The course is very well-made, however it's short and very brief. An introduction course in university contains a lot more material

The first part of the course was detailed, concrete and fundamental. But I find the last 3 weeks were too vague and unsystematized

I loved the course, but found some animation and sounds to be distracting, and not being able to see the professor less engaging.

As semanas 4 e 5 poderiam ser desdobrar em 2 semanas, especialmente a quinta semana, bastante longa.

De resto, o curso foi ótimo

A very good introduction to psychology. Concepts should have been more clearly compared and contrasted in tables and charts.
