Evolution, Genetics and Ethology : Introduction to Psychology II. Practical Guide.

In preparing this guide, we have tried to compile in a single document all the materials needed for the correct monitoring of the second part (Evolution, Genetics, and Ethology) of Introduction to Psychology II, taught in the first semester of the Degree in Psychology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. This book is hence intended for use as a guide for the development of practical activities; it includes the procedures to be followed, and the exercises that must be completed after the activities are finished. You will also find some basic information, both theoretical and methodological, necessary for a correct understanding and development of the practical sessions. Finally, the guide includes a glossary of basic terms and concepts essential for its correct use. Before carrying out each activity, please read carefully the corresponding section in this guide. Once finished, make sure that you have filled in the data in all the tables. In order to self-assess the knowledge and skills you have acquired during practical activities, at the end of each practical exercise you may also find some questions that should be answered once the activity is over. Self-assessment forms have to be uploaded to the course webpage and will be considered for the final assessment.
