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!

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.

Fue un curso bastante completo como introducción a la psicología, muy informativo, con investigaciones actuales, y que te hacen confrontar conocimientos anteriores. Muy creativo, a parte brinda lecturas opcionales que te complementan la información de los videos.

El próximo lunes me tengo que someter a una intervención quirúrgica. Estaré ausente dos semanas, calculo... Retomaría entonces. Espero que no haya problemas. El curso me resulta excelente y no quisiera perder lo que ya avancé. Muchas gracias. Norma Marotta.

The course is manageable and it gives me more than enough time to complete it. It wasn't too difficult to understand. The reading materials further enhance what Prof Bloom was teaching and give an over view on what Psychology is. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this!

A wonderful, expansive course that touches upon the many facets of psychology and gives the learners enough room to explore by themselves. A definite recommend, I went from nearly a complete beginner to a well-grounded student in the process of doing this course.

Good introductory course to get a better understanding of the topic. The flow of topics is also well aligned. The Professor teaches well with a lot of enthusiasm and explains very well. Even a non science student can do this to get good and relevant information.

very informative. Has satisfied my curiosity on how people tick.

It has helped me understand myself a little more.

I may not agree with everything in the content of these lectures but I'll put that down to cultural differences.

All in, I'm glad I took this course.

The course was great! Honestly speaking I did not expect to learn so much but the content was too good and had me hooked all the way till the end. The professor was also great and explained the concepts well, in easy to understand terms. Definitely recommend it!

The more I reflect on the quality of the course, the more I find it exceptionally balanced, informative and broad-scope, and the last but not the least, truly academic. Scientist myself, I adored much this approach, along with Prof. Bloom's personality and wit.

Paul Bloom was surprisingly engaging as a professor which I thought would be difficult to achieve for an online course. But perhaps that's self-fulling because one has to be enthusiastic and excited to learn about the material to want to complete the course...?

I strongly recommend this course for those who are interested in psychology. I especially appreciated Professor Bloom's own insights that he provided at the end of the sessions. To me, they were the perfect summaries of the each subjects thought on this course.

Prof. Bloom made the difference and while some might describe the way the lectures were presented as "monotonous", I perceive this as a big plus: I was able to follow everything and had no problems understanding the concepts and memorise the notions.

THANK YOU!

Each module was so interesting, I was debating between rushing through it or taking it slow savoring each week. The animation from Julia Veldman and that Prof Bloom sometimes sounded like Ze Frank makes this the best course I've taken here. Highly recommended!

Paul Bloom's lectures (and the associated texts) provide the perfect level of entertainment and information, while giving lots of suggestions for further reading and the baseline knowledge to carry out that further reading confidently. Love the animations too.

ES UN CURSO MARAVILLOSO, DEFINITIVAMENTE ME AYUDÓ A COMPRENDER LAS BASES QUE NECESITABA, PUES ESTUDIO PSICOLOGÍA EN UNA UNIVERSIDAD EN LA REPÚBLICA DEL ECUADOR Y CON ESTE CONOCIMIENTO CREO PODER AVANZAR MÁS EN MIS ESTUDIOS Y ES UN IMPULSO PARA SEGUIR AVANZANDO

The thing that particularly interested me was the way in which Dr. Paul Bloom presented the material of Psychology. It helped me in understanding the fundamentals of the same and I would highly recommend it to someone who is interested in pursuing this field .

I really enjoyed this course from beginning to end, the format and structure was easy to use and really helpful for someone never done anything like this.

the lessons were engaging and a large part of that was Prof Bloom who was a joy to listen to.

This should be made compulsory in every school! It totally changed my life and my approach to my feelings, my family, the people around me... Highly recommended to everyone, especially if you are not pursuing a career in Psychology. Thank you Professor Bloom!
