This course will introduce you to all the major areas of the field of Psychology: the scientific study of behaviour. A broad range of psychological theories and research will be introduced that explain behaviour from many different levels of analysis--from the biological to the social.

Term 1 of the course covers fundamental aspects of behaviour, examining the biological and social roots of behaviour, and the processes of sensation, perception, consciousness, learning and memory.

In Term 2 of the course, we investigate more complex and applied psychological processes such as the nature of language and thought, the constituents of intelligence, motivation and emotion, human development, personality, the effects of stress, and the origins and treatment of psychological disorders.

The course materials will be presented as lectures, text materials, and may also include videos and other demonstrative media.

This section of Psychology 100 is part of the Individual & Society theme of the Coordinated Arts Program (CAP), designed to allow first-year students to study as a cohort as they take first-year Psychology, Economics and Arts Studies courses.
