Learning objectives
GENERAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES. *To know and understand the psychobiological and neuropsychological bases of behaviours, in particular in learning contexts. *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 provide the theoretical and methodological framework necessary to understand the neurobiological correlates of human behavior and cognitive functions. *To provide the tools to evaluate and analyze the functional changes in the individual, through the study of the main techniques and methods to investigate the neuronal activity (EEG, fMRI and TMS) and human behavior. *Acquire the ability to link the main biological and neuronal mechanisms to the functional and adaptation processes of the individual to the physical and social environment.

Teaching methods
Teaching consists of frontal lessons, for a total of 36 hours (6 CFUs). The first lesson will serve to guide students thought the course: information will be provided about the program, the lesson schedule, the reference textbooks, and the exams. In addition, for each topic discussed during the lessons, the reference will be provided to the chapters in which that topic is described. Additional materials will be provided on the e-learning platform of the University.
Throughout the academic year, a student reception service is available, with a weekly fixed schedule.
The slides of the lectures will be available on the Moodle page for the Course.
Bibliographic references to scientific papers published in international journals will be provided.

Didactic methods
The lessons will be held in presence. Therefore, no links will be available to follow the lessons in streaming or video recordings. Recovery materials, such as slides and reference articles, will be made available in Moodle to allow absent students to recover individual lessons. The teacher is available during office hours to provide further clarifications and useful information for the study.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists for all students in a single written test with 31 closed questions and multiple choice answers. The exam is passed with a score of 18. The written test is aimed at ascertaining the knowledge and understanding of the topics in the program and concerns all the topics covered during the lessons.
Evaluation criteria
The test serves to evaluate the knowledge acquired and the ability to connect the various topics. 1 point will be awarded for each correct answer. The errors and the answers not given are worth 0. The test grade will be expressed in 30ths.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade is made up of the sum of the correct answers.

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.
