What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury.

Pensamiento crítico: toma de decisiones razonadas (Coursera)

Management & Leadership Business

Tomar decisiones en el mundo de hoy, un mundo en creciente complejidad, con amplios cambios e incertidumbre, crea la necesidad de contar con aproximaciones que nos permitan discernir los verdaderos problemas y las causas que los originan. Identificar cuáles son estos problemas, requiere en la mayoría de los casos, retar las suposiciones en las que basamos nuestros juicios, respecto al mundo y sus realidades. Podríamos definir el pensamiento crítico, como “ese modo de pensar- sobre cualquier tema, contenido o problema- en el cual el pensante mejora la calidad de su pensamiento al apoderarse de las estructuras inherentes del acto de pensar y al someterlas a estándares intelectuales”.
