BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE

The course analyzes the developmental pathways of socio-emotional competencies throughout the life cycle from the attachment perspective. Great emphasis is placed on the formation and the transmission of attachment relationships across generations and different developmental stages (i.e., childhood, adolescence and adulthood). The monographic course focuses on parenting and child socio-emotional adjustment in sexual minority parent families and in families formed by assisted reproduction.

EXAM

Written and oral. Specifically, the exam test will consist of 21 multiple choice questions and 3 open questions related to the course program, including the monographic course. Students who achieve a score greater than or equal to 18/30 can optionally decide to improve (or confirm) their grade taking an oral exam. The mark range achievable for the oral exam is 0–4 points.

The main objective of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge of the interactions between Cognitive Neuroscience and other disciplines such as fashion, social media, art and design. In addition, the course will provide notions for writing research projects that will act as a bridge between Neuroscience and the most relevant social and economic fields.
