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 was my second course using this site, and with Professor Bloom, and once again it was great. I've genuinely learnt a lot, and I've found a new love for psychology I never would have found before.

The pacing of the course made it extremely easy to follow and understand. The examples, experiments, and videos shown are also extremely interesting. I did the course for fun over my summer break and I highly recommend!

Éste curso es lo que me faltaba para organizar los conocimientos sobre psicología que he adquirido a través de los años. He aprendido más de lo que esperaba y lo he aprovechado al máximo . Lo recomiendo absolutamente.

It is a really great course. It's engaging and fun and you get to know a lot more than you think you will. I had a wonderful experince in doing this and it will surely help me once I start learning psychology in school.

The course is very well structured and knowledgeable. The lectures are quite engaging but watching animated videos rather than a real human performance was a bit difficult for me at first. Overall still, a great course.

This is way too better than what I expected. I gained a quite good knowledge about the field of psychology. I would be forever grateful to my teacher, Prof. Paul Bloom for teaching us these things in an interesting way.

This is an excellent introductory course that dwells on a lot of fundamental, interesting questions and ideas. I found it very useful and insightful. It is absolutely worth your time if you know nothing about the field.

Every lecture was really informative. There was one or two items in every lecture that a wrestled with as they didnt seem to hold in my or my peers' lives.

Loved the format...I think it really helped with the learning.

Really well put together course. A great introduction to psychology, glad I took this online and not at my university. Not too long of a course with multiple additional readings if you are interested in a certain topic!

An engaging and thoughtful introduction to a wide variety of topics in the field of psychology. My only complaint is that Dr. Bloom doesn't have any more advanced courses listed here. And I LOVED the animatied format!
