| ISS3199 | Introduction to psychology | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | English | Yes | ||
| Psychology as a field has had a rather short history. However, its impact on our current understanding of the human experience is quite significant. Clive Wearing is an accomplished musician who lost his ability to form new memories when he became sick at the age of 46. While he can remember how to play the piano perfectly, he cannot remember what he ate for breakfast just an hour ago. John Nash is a brilliant mathematician and Nobel Prize winner. However, while he was a professor at MIT, he would tell people that the New York Times contained coded messages from extraterrestrial beings that were intended for him. Soon thereafter, Nash was diagnosed with schizophrenia and admitted to a state-run mental institution. Why did these people have these experiences? How does the human brain work? And what is the connection between the mind processes and people’s external behaviors? This course will introduce you to various ways that the field of psychology has explored these questions. Psychology contains several different subfields, such as sensation and perception, memory, personality, learning, group/social/community psychology, and biological psychology. This course will survey many of these subfields through fun-filled class activities rather than “boring” lectures. | |||||||||
