This introductory psychology course is packed with answers to fascinating questions about our actions and thoughts, learned through scientific investigation. The course covers prominent areas in psychology (e.g. neuroscience, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology) by reviewing underlying assumptions and empirical research.
