Fully-illustrated and filled with real-world examples, this book explains the basics of psychology, from how people think, feel and behave to how scientists can study and be sure about what is actually going on in other people's brains.
Chapters in this book include:
- What is psychology?
- So much to explore...
- Looking for answers
- Psychology's close relatives
Experiments
Psychologists ask questions about how people think, feel or behave. They then find a way to test possible answers.
The core functions of the mind
How do we sense our surroundings, learn language or remember things?
Thinking things through
How do we make judgements and decisions? And do they always make sense?
Differences between people
We're all unique but we're also very similar. How do psychologists define the difference between us?
Growing up and up
We turn from a tiny cell to a baby, to a child, to an adult. Psychologists call this development.
We are social creatures
Discover how our behaviour is affected by the people around us.
Brains and mental health
Meet your brain, and find out about brain illnesses, injuries and other mental health problems.
