Knowledge about the way people create asnd operate with representations is the basis for explaning human mental activity. A number of large processes (such as learning, comprehension, resoning or decision making) sustain on representations and operations involving representations. Hence the goals of this course are related with the understanding of human cognitive system, which supports representations managing as well as the ways the cognitive system operates. The goals include a description of intelligence's physical bases and their articulation in useful cognitive functions, which integrate brain's resources with cultural instruments. The course contents will permit the analysis and explaniation of outstanding human cognitive activities, understanding their general mechanisms and the variety of instances they may display.
Block 1. Representations and intelligence
Bloc 2. Cognitive systems
Bloc 3. Learning
Bloc 4. Intellectual and cognitive development
The contents that will be presented in the lectures will define the theoretical body of the course. The practical approaches, contacting instruments a practical applications by students, will be supervised by the professor.

Teaching method is based in five general approaches:
(1) Lessons conducted by the professor, where the main contents are presented an discussed.
(2) Lessons devoted to case-analysis and applications, where the stdent has an active role under supervision.
(3) Sessions addressed to contact instruments and measurement procedures, where students are supervised.
(4) Sessions of reading, documenting an reflexion, developed by students themselves with ensuant feedback on their work.
(5) Sessions of individualized advise addressed to follow-up individual tasks and knowledge optimisation.
All programmed activities meet one or more of the described methodological approaches and also include testing procedures which serve as continuos evaluation of the contents taught.
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.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
A1 Test on the contents of the previous lessons (week 9) | 30 | 1.5 | 0.06 | 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 19, 21, 23, 25, 28, 29 |
A2 Test of the remaining contents (week 19 or 20) | 30 | 1.5 | 0.06 | 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27 |
A3 Practical lessons' report (last week of classes) | 40 | 0 | 0 | 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 |
To pass the subject, the sum of the grades for activities A1, A2, and A3 must be 5,0 or higher, regardless either of the activities does not reach this value.
The person who has carried out activities whose weight in the evaluation of the subject is less than 40% will be considered NON-ASSESSABLE. If activities have been carried out that would allow you to reach 66% or more of the maximum mark and the minimum mark of 5,0 has not been reached, you can access a make-up exam in which the activities not submitted will be carried out again and some of the activities presented that have obtained a low result. Recovery allows access to a maximum grade of 8.5.
It is not expected that second or later matriculation students will be assessed by means of a non-retrievable synthesis test.
UNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Students who opt for the single assessment option waive continuous assessment and will be assessed for all the subject's content in a single assessment, which will take place on week 19.
This evaluation act will consist of the same activities included in the continuous evaluation, with the same percentages on the grade (see continuous evaluation table), carried out consecutively. The duration of the same will be: A1: 1.5 hours; A2: 1.5 hours.
The conditions for passing the subject and eventual recovery for students taking the single assessment will be the same as those for students taking the continuous assessment.
