Introduction to Psychology

Course Description:Psychology can be defined as the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. . While psychology is most often associated with clinical issues (i.e. abnormal, personality), this makes up only a small portion of the field. Other specialties within the field include, to name a few, physiological, social, organizational, and developmental psychology. We cannot understand ourselves or the individuals around us without looking at how we develop, how we behave in a social context, or the physiological components of our behavior. Thus, this course will serve as an overview of the major fields within psychology with an emphasis on developing an understanding of psychology as the science of human thought and behavior. We will also learn to critically evaluate "common sense" knowledge about how people function.   Objectives

The aim of this course is to introduce the students to some fundamental concepts and theories in psychology in order to gain a better understanding of the field of psychology both historic and current. The course is a review of theory and research about the basic topics in psychology: research methods, biological aspects of psychology, sensation, perception, learning, memory, cognition, motivation, personality, development, abnormal, clinical, social, emotion, and the like, as well as their relationship to the psychological functioning of the individual as a social being.

 Learning Outcomes:
  1. Students will be able to identify the major fields of study and theoretical perspectives within psychology and articulate their similarities and differences.
 
  1. Students will be able to differentiate between the major observational, correlational, experimental, and quasi-experimental designs used by developmental psychologists and articulate the benefits and limitations of each. Students will be able to critique various studies and theories based on this information.
 
  1. Students will be able to identify and discuss the biological bases of behavior on both the micro (e.g. neurocellular, neurophysiological, and neurochemical) and macro (e.g. central and peripheral nervous system) levels.
 
  1. Students will be able to articulate the basic principles, major theories, and research concerning learning and cognition.
