20710736 - HISTORY OF THE SCIENCES OF THE MIND (objectives) This course aims to foster the knowledge of the historical development of the main themes, problems and theories on psychological processes. In partcular the course is aimed at a critical understanding of the evolution of naturalized conceptualizations of mind, from those elaborated by philosophy to those advanced by the scientific revolution onwards, up to experimental psychology and cognitive sciences and neuroscience in the 20th century. The evolution of the sciences of the mind will be discussed in its relationship with the history of philosophical ideas and other human sciences such as sociology and anthropology, in its close intertwining with the natural and biological sciences. At the same time the history of the sciences of mind will be situated in the context of concrete history, such as the material, economic and techological transofrmations. Particular attention will be given to the examination of the evolution of the psychological models of explanation of cognitive and communication processes. The course will also examine the history of the cultural and moral impact of developments of the sciences of the mind with particular regard to the applications of cognitive science and neuroscience technologies in the 20th century. The course aims to achieve these learning outcomes: 1) an organic knowledge of the major research programs, concepts, and problems of the mind sciences, experimental psychology, and cognitive sciences; 2) the ability to contextualize, analyze, and critically interpret the ideas and models of explanation of the sciences of mind also in relation to other research disciplines, material history, culture, ethics, and technological evolution; 3) the historical and theoretical tools for understanding the transformations of psychological and scientific models of cognitive and communication processes. 4) the lexical and conceptual tools necessary to the study of the history of the sciences of the mind and for acquiring good analytical and argumentative skills in written and oral form. The monographic part of the program this year aims to critically illustrate the history of: a) naturalized conceptions of emotions, the evolution of theories on the relationship between body/brain and emotions; b) the studies on the biological correlates of emotional processes; c) the relationships between cognitive processes, communication and emotions.	12	M-FIL/02	60	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ITA

20711265 - LABORATORY OF SELF-CONTROL AND EMOTION REGULATION. THEORIES AND PRACTICES. (objectives) What is self-control and what is emotion regulation? How do they work; what psychological and brain mechanisms do they depend on? Why is voluntary control of psychological processes, such as staying focused, resisting distractions, managing a negative emotion, inhibiting rumination or stopping the mind from wandering, so difficult? And why does voluntary control of actions often fail? That is, for what reasons do we relapse into habits we no longer want to have, into various forms of addiction, or frequently fail to contain an inappropriate impulse or the expression of a potentially harmful emotion? Are there techniques or exercises capable to improve self-control and emotion regulation? What psychological and brain mechanisms are they based on? How are they performed and what evidence of effectiveness exists in the scientific literature? The Workshop on Self-Control and Emotional Regulation. Theories and Practices, aims to provide participants with knowledge of the main theoretical elements and models of explanations of the processes of self-control and emotion regulation, between neuroscience, psychosocial science and philosophy. At the same time, the Lab aims to teach exercises and techniques useful for improving self-regulatory capacity, including several Mindfulness based practices, illustrating its scientific basis and experimental verification of effectiveness. At the end of the Workshop, the student should know and understand the main explanatory models of self-control and emotion regulation and will have a basic mastery of the principal and scientifically validated techniques, exercises and trainings for cognitive enhancement, self-control and emotional regulation. If the number of participants will be sufficient, the Workshop may involve conducting an experimental study designed for measuring the impact of training on some basic variables of self-control, mood, impulsivity, and perceived stress level.	6	-	-	36	-	Other activities	ITA
