Description

Professor Paul Bloom welcomes students and presents the course as a comprehensive introduction to the study of the human mind. Course readings and requirements are discussed. The five main branches of psychology are presented: neuroscience, which is a study of the mind by looking at the brain; developmental, which focuses on how people grow and learn; cognitive, which refers to the computational approach to studying the mind; social, which studies how people interact; and clinical, which examines mental health and mental illnesses.

I have just seen one lecture (#7) from Dr. Bloom's openlecture.
I am a student and just these weeks becoming a M.A Psychologist (from germany) but anyway,If you are from a different field or not, if you know a lot about psychology or not it does not matter, I can recommend to watch it, it is on the edge of present questions of the human nature and it is perfectly tempered!

I am taking an introductory psychology class at an online university. I have been to school before and am familiar with some concept but thought I could find some help here. I have seen lectures in philosophy and was impressed. Right now I am studying interpersonal effectiveness.
