一口气看完了，很久没有读心理学的书籍，这次算是再补课。Paul Bloom教授毕业于Macgill大学，曾在MIT工作，对少儿心理学很有研究。听他的演讲很轻松，没有那么多心理学术语，同时会列举大量形象的例子来讲解，受益匪浅。
About the Course
What do your dreams mean? Do men and women differ in the nature and intensity of their sexual desires? Can apes learn sign language? Why can’t we tickle ourselves? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, religion, persuasion, love, lust, hunger, art, fiction, and dreams. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury.
