Learning objectives
GENERAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES. *To know and understand the psychological theories which describe and explain the processes underlying individuals and groups' behaviours, and the processes of adjustment to the material and social environment, for example the perceptual, cognitive, communicative-linguistic, social-relational, affective-emotional, and learning processes. *To apply the psychological theories to the functioning of individuals, groups, and organisation in order to observe and analyse behaviours, and in particular phenomena concerning learning and personal and social changes.
SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES. *To know the historical path that psychology has followed to identify itself as an experimental discipline, delving into the most important themes involved in cognitive processes. The first of the aspects studied will be methodological and epistemological, to understand the relationship between psychology as an experimental discipline and the other humanistic disciplines that contribute to the study of human thought. *To delve into classic themes of psychology such as the study of perceptual experience, psychophysics, theories, models and research on consciousness, attention, memory, thought, intelligence, learning, motivation, emotions, communication. *To understand topics such as the nature and treatment of mental disorders, personality development across the lifespan, and behavioural biology, that contribute to the organisation of human cognitive architecture.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
