SUMMARY This course is a basic one and should enable the students to follow further courses in the area of Psychobiology. The course has five main areas such as the biological bases of emotion, stress and aggression, the biological basis of learning and memory, the biological bases of higher cognitive processes, the psychobiology of language and psychobiology of mental disorders. This program is related to the issues taught in Fundamentals of Psychobiology, which have provided the necessary knowledge of neuroanatomy and neuroscience in order to properly understand this subject, and also to the contents of Physiological Psychology I, which addressed the psychobiological mechanisms of perception, motor skills and motivated behaviors. It is also strongly connected to Psychopharmacology and Psicoendocrinology, which require from the student some previous knowledge about chemical communication and motivated behavior, emotions, learning and memory, higher cognitive processes and mental disorders. Although the basic nature of this subject makes it difficult to establish a direct connection to the professional fields, the course Physiological Psychology II is essential in the acquisition of a style of scientific thinking, which is central for the proper deployment of a professional activity in various fields such as clinical, evolutionary development, employment, social action and research activities.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE Relationship to other subjects of the same degree There are no specified enrollment restrictions with other subjects of the curriculum. Other requirements Students must have basic knowledge about biology, coming from their previous education on health sciences, as well as acquired in the study of Fundamentals of Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology I. Students must also possess computer skills as users.

OUTCOMES 1319 - Grado de Psicología - Students must have acquired knowledge and understanding in a specific field of study, on the basis of general secondary education and at a level that includes mainly knowledge drawn from advanced textbooks, but also some cutting-edge knowledge in their field of study. - Students must be able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have acquired the competences required for the preparation and defence of arguments and for problem solving in their field of study. - Students must have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually in their field of study) to make judgements that take relevant social, scientific or ethical issues into consideration. - Students must be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both expert and lay audiences. - Students must have developed the learning skills needed to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. -

LEARNING OUTCOMES Students should be able to: - Identify and describe the psychobiological mechanisms of emotions, aggression and stress.- Explain the neurobiological mechanisms of learning and memory, by identifying the neural and neurochemical bases involved.- Describe the main functions of cortical and brain asymmetries, and identify the biological mechanisms of language. - Describe the psychobiological mechanisms of major psychiatric disorders.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY Lectures given by the teacher to develop the different contents of the field, and promote the participation of students through the resolution of issues that may arise during the presentation. Theoretical and practical classes will also rely on animal models, behavioral and neuroanatomical models, audiovisual material, links to websites, related material, handbooks, articles and other specialized readings. Individual or group tutorials may be scheduled in order to supervise the practical work, to provide individual guidance and solve questions. Practical sessions aimed at applied aspects. Students - individually or in groups- will work with the provided materials (physiological and psychological tests, recorded physiological variables, articles ...) to reach a goal.

EVALUATION Assessment systems • Assessment of theory and practical contents through a written test about the level of theoretical and practical knowledge acquired by the student (weighting 70%) • Written or oral presentation of reports, individual or group projects, delivered to the professor within the established deadline, implying that the student has acquired competencies of knowledge, comprehension and application of the subject´s content (weighting 20%). • Active participation in classroom activities, seminars and workshops (weighting 10%). Works performed about these activities will be delivered in the classroom or as a recopilatory report within the deadline established by the professor.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS • To pass the course students must achieve a minimum score of 50% in the first element of assessment (theory and practical contents). • With regard to the active participation component, students can be required to attend to individual or in-group tutorials with the professor to verify the participation and consecution of the objectives of a certain developed task.

WARNING Evidence of copying or plagiarism in any of the assessable tasks will result in failure to pass the subject and in appropriate disciplinary action being taken. Please note that, in accordance with article 13. d) of the Statute of the University Student (RD 1791/2010, of 30 December), it is the duty of students to refrain from using or participating in dishonest means in assessment tests, assignments or university official documents. During tutorials, lecturers may require individual or group interviews in order to verify the degree of participation and achievement of goals for any given task. Failure to accept the verification will result in such task or activity being failed.

GRADING SCHEME Grades shall be subject to the provisions of the University of Valencia Regulations on Marks (ACGUV 12/2004). (http://www.uv.es/graus/normatives/Reglament_qualificacions.pdf) According to this, subjects are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points to one decimal place, followed by a qualitative equivalence: -

From 0 to 4.9: fail.

-

From 5 to 6.9: pass.

-

From 7 to 8.9: good.

-

From 9 to 10: excellent or excellent with distinction.

The different elements of assessment will only count towards the final aggregate mark if the minimum requirements established for each element are met. Subject records will include the mark obtained at the first attempt according to the following rules:

Course Guide 33310 Physiological psychology II

If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has not been assessed, the subject will be graded as ABSENT, irrespective of the rest. If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has been assessed but it does not meet minimum requirements, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 010 scale for that element. If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has been assessed and it does meet minimum requirements but any of the remaining elements does not, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 0-10 scale for the element failed. For the second attempt, the following rules shall apply: The mark of ABSENT can only be awarded when more than one element of assessment including that with the highest weighting has not been assessed. If all the elements of assessment have been assessed but one of them does not meet minimum requirements, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 0-10 scale for the element failed. If more than one element of assessment has been failed, the element with the highest mark on the 10 point scale will be used. If one or more of the minimum requirements is not met and one element of assessment has not been assessed, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the average numerical mark resulting from the two elements passed and the non-assessed element (which awards 0 points). The highest mark possible is 4.9. With regard to the possibility that a student may request an advancement of an exam call, according to the current normative, the evaluation will consist of the performance of an exam about the theoretical and practical knowledge (which will represent a 70% of the final mark) and a final report (which will represent a 30% of the final mark). Review of and appeals against assessment results shall be subject to the Regulations for Appealing against Marks (ACGUV of 29 April 2008).
