Psychology 161

Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. Students will study how the brain works, including how we learn, remember, and organize the world around us. This course will explore questions such as: What makes the brain work? Why is sleep important? How do psychologists measure and define abnormal behavior? We will answer these questions through studying current research, brain functions, cognition and human development, personality and psychological disorders. Through this course students will gain a deeper understanding of how psychology is all around us.
