Summary
"This course will explore what's going on in our minds that allows us to learn so effortlessly and in so many ways. The course will examine not only the psychological mechanisms, but also the neural mechanisms, that are involved. You will discover that your brain is equipped with multiple, powerful, but very different learning mechanisms that depend on specific neural circuits and that understanding how learning works can make you a more effective learner."--Page 1 of course guidebook
