This unit examines:<br/>- 'voodoo' science, including pathological science, which involves self-deception (eg, cold fusion, N-rays);<br/>- pseudoscience, which involves beliefs falsely portrayed as science (eg, creationism, homeopathy); and<br/>- scientific fraud, which involves deliberate deception (eg, Cyril Burt, Trofim Lysenko).<br/>In each case we will explore its psychological basis. -- Course Website
