Paul Bloom – Introduction to Psychology

About the course.

What do your dreams mean? Do men and women have different sexual desires? Is it possible for apes to learn sign language? Why can’t we tickle ourselves? A comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior is provided by this course. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, religion, persuasion, love, lust, hunger, art, fiction, and dreams. 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.
