Professor Paul Bloom: I'd like to welcome people to this course, Introduction to Psychology.

My name is Dr. Paul Bloom.

I'm professor of this course.

And what this is going to be is a comprehensive introduction to the study of the human mind.

So, we are going to cover a very, very wide range of topics including brains, children, language, sex, memory, madness, disgust, racism and love, and many others.

We're going to talk about things like the proper explanation for differences between men and women; the question of whether animals can learn language; the puzzle of what grosses us out; the problem of why some of us eat too much and what we could do to stop; the question of why people go crazy in groups; research into whether you could trust your childhood memories; research into why some of us get depressed and others don't.

The style of this is there'll be two lectures a week, as well as course readings.

Now, to do well in the course, you have to attend both the lectures and do the readings.

There will be some overlap.

In some cases, the lectures will be quite linked to the readings.
