Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour. Research in psychology seeks to understand and explain mental processes, emotions, and behaviour. Applications of psychology include performance enhancement, self-help, mental health and many other areas affecting everyday life and work. In this course, we will overview key topics in psychology such as learning, memory, human development, personality, feelings, motivations, and social behaviour representing some of what psychology seeks to understand and explain. In this course, we will take a grand tour of the most prominent theories, principles, findings and applications of psychology, and engage actively in research through participation in psychological studies and experiments.
