If you tnihk that is iineestrtg you shluod tkae a psyhlocsogy cslas. It's aniamzg the way the hmuan biarn wkors.
My favorite chapters so far have been the ones on Learning and Memory, but I read ahead and Cognition, Language, and Inteligence and Personality look pretty interesting too. And Sensation and Perception was fun. And the chapter on sleep was rather interesting as well. Did you know that you're paralyzed when you dream, and that usually if you dream you're falling you wake up? It probably depends somewhat on the teacher/professor you have but it really is an interesting class.
