Description

Why does our mind work the way it does? How do our desires and instincts interact? What governs our imagination—if indeed it is governed at all? These are the kinds of questions that fascinate psychologists and that our Wikipedia Tour of Psychology explores. Freudian slips, Pavlovian conditioning, inkblots, ids, egos, and super-egos: all of the most fascinating elements of the study of the mind are included here. While the human brain, with its billions of neurons and incredible capabilities, still keeps many of its secrets, you can join the scientists who have most fascinatingly explored its depths and see what they have found there.

I love you, Wikipedia Daily Lit!

I wish I had more hours in my day to explore all this thoroughly. Very worthwhile. I took Psych in school but this is far more interesting.
