Welcome to Psy 101 General Psychology

This course will introduce you to many different aspects of the mind and brain provide the empirical evidence and most widely accepted theories regarding how they work. In part, you will learn about the history of psychological theory and its major perspectives. Additionally, you will learn about the physiological basis of an action potential and neurotransmission, sensation and perception, memory, cognition, learning, intelligence, behavior, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, research methodology, diagnostics, as well as treatment and medications for psychiatric disorders. This course is designed as interpretive discussion of psychological science. It presents evidence based data, and it thrives on the number of active participants whom each can add their own interpretation of the subject matter. Do not be fooled, this is a SCIENCE course. After the introduction module, this course leads with principles of biochemistry, anatomy and neurophysiology; all of which are needed to the set framework and provide a foundation for the rest of the course. All in all, psychology is fascinating subject, and I hope to provide a fun learning experience for all of you throughout the course.
