Intro Psychology AP/CLEP/UExcel (PSYC 110) Yale

What do your dreams mean? Do men & women differ in the nature & intensity of their sexual desires? Why cant we tickle ourselves? Can Chimpanzees learn sign language? This course will try too answer these questions & many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought & behavior. It explores topics such as communication, perception, learning, religion, persuasion, memory, decision-making, hunger, art, love, lust, fiction, & dreams. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they are wired-up in the brain, how they differ across people & how they break down due to illness & injury. #Psychology #behavior #attention #emotion #perception #cognition #phenomenology #personality #motivation #brain functioning
