Understanding Psychology & Human Behavior

A working understanding of psychology — what the science actually claims about how minds, brains, and behavior fit together. The trunk gives you the orientation a literate professional needs (how psychology knows what it knows, the brain behind behavior, learning, memory, decision-making, emotion, personality, social influence, development, pathology, and what therapy does); clusters dive into research methods, perception, cognition mechanics, social influence tactics, the field guide of disorders, applied behavioral science, and the psychology of everyday life.
