Short description:	Psychology of Learning and Memory is a course that provides students with general knowledge on memory and learning processes. It discusses the most fundamental issues within this area, including main theories and research paradigms, as well as recent studies in neuroscience. The lecture will also describe connections between learning and memory and other psychological processes such as emotion and motivation, and implicit vs. explicit information processing. Both classic theories and recent findings within the scope of psychology of emotions will be presented.

Basic paradigms and classical research within this area. c. Basic memory models and is able to distinguish memory systems. d. Biological components of memory and learning process. e. Connection between memory and learning and emotional processes. f. Conceptions of implicit learning and memory. g. Memory and learning disorders. h. Strategies that can help to improve memory. 2) Competences: a. Is able to use a proper theory when attempting to explain particular psychological problems. b.
