The course surveys the workings of the mind and the brain's role in supporting it. It covers perception, emotion, learning, memory, cognition, development, personality, psychopathology and social interaction, linking each to larger debates about nature and nurture, choice and the self.
The package is designed for learners working alone. Lecture videos carry the main explanation, supported by reading from an online textbook and a second book with detailed notes, plus questions to check understanding after each session.
Anyone who wants a substantive overview of psychology at their own pace. Learners preparing for exams will appreciate the practice questions and solution keys, and further study links are included for each session's topics.
