Intro Psychology
Undergradate
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the science of the mind. The field of psychology is incredibly broad, encompassing a wide variety of topics and perspectives, from evolution to morality. The common goal of all psychological science is to understand how the mind and
brain interface with the external world to shape behavior. This course is designed to provide
you with a basis for thinking about psychological questions and with an overview of the
different specialized areas of psychology that you might choose to study in more depth in the future. Syllabus
This course provides an overview of topics in the emerging field of Social Neuroscience.
We will focus on how theories and methods of neuroscience may be used to address
classic questions of social psychology from new and informative angles. The goal of this course is to give students a broad background in social neuroscience research and methods so that students may (a) be a critical consumer of this literature, (b) broaden the way you think about connections between the mind, brain, and behavior in the context of the
social world, and (c) most importantly, apply these ideas to inform their own ideas and
future research in psychology. Syllabus
