Attendance is strongly recommended for all lectures, but not compulsory.

Students will be given three open-ended questions and asked to choose one on which she/he will create a written text that will show, not only knowledge of facts but especially critical analysis and capacity of judgement.

The module will constitute 12 hours of frontal lectures. We will make use of slides, audio-visual material, and formative activities during the lectures. We will also make use of scientific articles to deepen some topics, and also practical demonstrations of the experimental paradigms used in psychology to investigate the cognitive processes of interest.
