In this course students will learn basics of psychology.
This introductory course has no specific prerequisites.
The course covers the most important topics in modern psychology such as cognitive psychology (attention, consciousness, methods of brain research and brain functions), motivation and emotions, memory and learning, personality, individual differences (intelligence and temperament), child and adult development, social psychology and psychopathology.
The course is divided into two parts. The first part contains lectures provided online (all necessary materials will be accessible on the internet – students can benefit from MIT Open Courseware materials (videos, readings, exercises) as well as the university platform where a contact with the lecturer is possible). The second part are classes devoted to consolidation of the knowledge and its practical applications from all learnt approaches in psychology.
