The course is categorized under Health, within the subcategory of Psychology.
Kicking off the journey, the course covers the foundational Units 1.2 to 1.6, which delve into the essentials of psychological experiments. These initial lessons set the stage for the scientific approach and methodologies used in psychological research. Following this, Units 2.1 and 2.2 explore the complex workings of the endocrine system, laying out a full lecture dedicated to understanding the hormonal influences on behavior.
The exploration continues with Units 2.3 and Units 2.5, which shed light on the effects of drugs on the human psyche. This section aims to demystify the pharmacological impacts and implications of substance use. The course moves forward with Units 2.6 and 2.7, followed by an intriguing look into sleep patterns and disorders in Unit 2.9, which is expansive enough to be covered twice within the course framework.
Units 3.1 to 3.2 bring students into the realm of sensation, presenting the underlying principles governing sensory experiences. This is followed by Units 3.3 to 3.4, concentrating on visual sensation, and Unit 3.5, which focuses on auditory sensation. Understanding the chemical senses is the next milestone, discussed comprehensively in Units 3.6 and 3.7.
The course escalates to more intricate topics with Units 4.1 to 4.4, introducing various learning theories like insight, latent, and modification. These units gradually proceed into classical conditioning in Unit 4.2, operant conditioning in Unit 4.3, and observational learning in Unit 4.4.
Memory, one of the most captivating facets of psychology, is covered extensively in Units 5.1 to 5.6, touching upon encoding, storage, and retrieval processes. Additional discussions include memory aids, forgetting, and memory distortions. Creativity and intelligence are explored in Unit 5.7 and onward, dissecting both creative thinkers and multiple intelligence theories across Units 5.9 to 5.10.
Subsequent units, such as Unit 5.11, dive into the components of language. The developmental stages from conception to early childhood are meticulously explained in Unit 6.1, with further examination of socialization in Unit 6.2. Critical developmental theories by Piaget (Unit 6.3) and moral development concepts by Kohlberg and Gilligan (Unit 6.6) add to the educational richness.
The ultimate segment of the course delves into motivation and emotional psychology in Unit 7, including stress mechanisms like the General Adaptation Syndrome. The final lectures bring the journey full circle with psychoanalytic theories by Freud, along with behaviorist, humanist, and trait personality theories.
