There is no established prerequisite specifically for this course, but it is highly recommendable to be simultaneously studying the rest of the scheduled courses in the second semester of the first year of the Degree in Psychology: Foundations of Psychobiology II, Methods, Designs and Techniques of Research, the Social Dimension of the Person.
This course is part of the subject "Psychology" which is included in the first year of the Degree. It also forms part of a set of courses aimed at acquiring skills related to the basic psychological processes that form the basis of human behaviour:
- Psychological Processes: attention and perception (first year, first semester)
- Psychological Processes: learning and conditioning (second year, first semester)
- Psychological Processes: memory (second year, second semester)
- Psychological Processes: thought and language (third year, second semester)
The general aim of this course is for the student to be able to identify and delimit motivational and affective processes, acquiring conceptual analysis tools that will help him/her to make an interpretation of human behaviour evidence-based. Special emphasis will be placed on the usefulness of the concepts, phenomena, models and theories discussed in the course as transversal analysis tools for any of the areas of intervention of psychology.

The teaching methodology of the course is aimed at fostering autonomy and critical attitude. The aim is for the student to formulate relevant reflections on motivational and affective processes, and to propose strategies aimed at responding to these reflections (carrying out empirical guided activities - Laboratory Experiments). It is convenient for the student to be proactive searching for information related to the current state of research in psychology of motivation and affective processes, and to share this information, contributing to a collaborative learning space. Those contents that by their nature allow it, are approached from a gender perspective. Likewise, egalitarian participation will be promoted throughout the course.
The guided teaching of this subject is structured in a cycle of conferences supported by multimedia materials, which are done in large groups, and in seminars and laboratory practices, which are done in small groups. In the laboratory practices, the student carries out a series of experiments, in which he obtains data that he must interpret in relation to the concepts and theories that have been dealt with in the conferences and seminars. On the other hand, the seminars will be orientated basically to the following formative activities:
Some of the directed and autonomous activities will incorporate gamification activities.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The assessment of the subject contains evidence of individual learning, and is done in accordance with the assessment guidelines of the Faculty of Psychology.
Practices and cases reports:
Partial synthesis tests:
Definition of evaluable student: It is considered evaluated when the student has delivered 2 or more of the 4 evidences of learning.
Definition of subject surpassed: A student has surpassed the subject when he / she has obtained an overall grade of 4,85 points.
Recovery: A final recovery of all the evidences is planned, which the student can access if he has not met the criteria for passing the subject and has been evaluated in 2 or more of the 4 learning evidences. In this final recovery, the tests necessary to pass the subject can be carried out. In the event that the student passes the subject as a result of participation in the recovery, the final grade will be 5 points.
Synthesis test for second-year students: It is not expected that students from 2nd or later yearswill be assessed by means of a single, non-retrievable synthesis test.

Unique evaluation: THE UNIQUE EVALUATION IS REQUESTED TELEMATICALLY (E-FORM) DURING THE SPECIFIC PERIOD (more information on the Faculty's website)
Copy or plagiarism: According to Art 266, point10 UAB Regulations, in the event that the student makes any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, ...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be qualified with 0. In the event of several irregularities in the learning evidence, the final grade will be 0.
Translation of exams: This subject does not schedule exams, so no translation of any document linked to the assessment activities is foreseen.
Attendance and completion of activities: Attendance at the 4 scheduled lab practices, as well as completion of the planned activity, is mandatory to carry out the associated learning evidence (practice reports). Completion of the activity provided for in the SEM2 and SEM4 seminars, in face-to-face or virtual mode, is mandatory in order to carry out the associated learning evidence (case reports).
Academic manuals and other documentary sources (in bold the two fonamental manuals):
Access to the software required to perform the laboratory practices will be provided in the teaching laboratory.
Access to the software required by the seminars and the evidence of learning will be provided through the virtual classroom, during the planned implementation period.
