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....

「Introduction to Psychology」課程深入淺出,生動有趣。老師以實例生動呈現心理學基礎概念,引導學生深入理解人類行為和心智過程。強調互動學習,讓我在深度思考中受益匪淺。不論是對專業知識的初步了解還是對人類心理的深入探討,這門課是引領的極佳選擇!

Everything really good, I would take out the sounds when the graphics (examples) appear and disappear. The 2 penises are distracting.
