Unravel the mysteries of the mind with these video teaching modules. An extension of topics covered in The Brain: Teaching Modules, these programs explore cognition and human behavior. The modules present current findings on language processing, drug treatment and addictions, and cognitive development throughout the life span. The programs also cover mood and peonality disorde, and pain and its treatment. These modules are flexible additions to coues in psychology, abnormal and physiological psychology, neuropsychology, and occupational therapy.



Produced by Colorado State Univeity. 1999.
