In this course we will survey the methods, findings, and theories of psychological science. Psychology is a broad topic and as the name implies (General Psychology) we’ll be covering the general themes and information of broad research areas. We begin the course covering fundamentals of psychological science and progress through fundamental aspects of human thinking and behavior. Along the way we’ll discuss neuroscience, perception, learning, memory, language, and thought.
