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....

Very kind and wise and humble words combined with a warm and tender voice ! The content could include more details. I also enjoyed Professor Bloom's avatar and his changing cloths and other cartoons.

Overall I found the course a well-structured and fascinating introduction that has me ready to pursue further study of the subject. I really wanted to give it five stars, but I couldn't do so considering the points where the course moved from psychology to indoctrination against faith perspectives. Different views should be presented, and the professor is certainly entitled to his, but his approach to the philosophical "discussions" and deliberate use of sacred text to negatively influence seemed designed to disparage and offend. The reference to the Book of Matthew, which I understand has been used for some time, is an egregious misuse (not even just a misinterpretation) of scripture. The use of Ecclesiastes was better, admittedly, but still degrades its sacred meaning to those who choose that faith.

There are places for meaningful discussions of this kind, here it came off as opportunistic influence of eager, younger learners.
