Do men and women differ in the nature and intensity of their sexual desires? Can apes learn sign language? Why cant 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.

Note that the lectures, as listed, are slightly out of order. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434795 This is a free, online textbook/course. According to the authors, "The key message of this unit is that different psychologists focus on different aspects of human behaviour in different ways. Take the topic of learning, some psychologists will study what happens in our brain when we learn, while others will consider how we learn within a social context. This unit will first highlight how psychology is now a very visible part of everyday life and then explore its diverse roots in medicine, philosophy, biology, psychoanalysis and ethnography. It will show that there is no single way of answering psychological questions and that psychology is a multifaceted discipline, drawing on a range of methods and data. The unit covers a lot of ground so you may wish to read through the material several times.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434798 This free, online textbook/course "will look at a number of different explanations that psychologists put forward in their attempts to understand why people feel, think and behave the way they do.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=416286 אתר מלווה קורס בפסיכולוגיה ניסויית אשר כולל: הרצאות מוקלטות ומצגות לכל אחד מהנושאים בקורס, מאגר של שאלות עזר למבחן הכולל שאלות ותשובות מפורטות, מצגות לתרגול ומאגר שאלות שכיחות. כל אלה מאפשרים לסטודנטים לחזור על החומר הנלמד בקצב ובזמן שנוח להם. שימוש בקבוצות דיון מאפשר לסטודנטים ליצור קשר אחד עם השני ועם המתרגלים לצורך סיוע.
