Annotation -
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to psychology as a scientific discipline. Students will examine the biological, cognitive, developmental, and social foundations of human behavior and the human mind, while learning key research methods and effective study skills. Key topics include the biological and evolutionary basis of behavior, consciousness, learning, memory, thinking, intelligence, social influences, development across the lifespan, and personality. By the end of the course, students will be able to critically evaluate psychological theories, apply psychological principles to real-world situations, and understand how multiple levels of analysis contribute to our knowledge of the mind and behavior.
