Psychological Science and Human Behavior

Bridge everyday human actions to empirical science. Explore foundational theories, cognitive shortcuts, personality models, and the research methods that distinguish real psychology from common intuition.

Like Duolingo, but for Psychological Science and Human Behavior. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.

12 levels across 4 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Decoding Social Dynamics and Intuition; The Machinery of Learning and Memory; Personality, Identity, and Clinical Models; and Human Lifespans and Empirical Inquiry. It assumes you already know the basics.
