Understanding Affective Processes: Emotions, Feelings, and Passions
Affective Processes
Emotion
It is a state of great excitement, manifesting complex behavior patterns, which may or may not be oriented towards a goal.

Feeling
Feelings can be pleasant or unpleasant, are less intense than emotions, and are linked to intellectual processes. They are individual and of longer duration.
Passion

Brain Decoding and Machine Learning
The Decoding Approach is a method using machine learning to interpret neural signals, revealing what information the brain processes. Attention increases neural responses to attended objects, enhancing object recognition.
Attention’s Impact on Visual Processing
In V1, attention modulates early visual processing by enhancing neural responses to attended stimuli.

Cognitive Development and Intelligence: Piaget’s Theory
Key Concepts in Piaget’s Theory
1. Schema
A schema is a succession of actions that has an organization and is likely to be replicated in similar situations. Schemas change, shifting from action schemes to representative schemes or operations, leading to the configuration of adult intelligence.
2. Adaptation
Intelligence is an adaptation to the environment. Individual schemas develop through the union of two processes:
- Assimilation: Living things tend to assimilate the environment into their organization
Social Work Interviews: Techniques and Dynamics
Interviews in Social Work: Addressing Loneliness and Marginalization
Respondents give their eyes and the rest of their senses to the social worker, who will make use of their performances so as to tackle the issues raised. Suppose you want to tackle the problem of loneliness and marginalization of the elderly in a neighborhood of a town, and we do not have much information on the sociocultural context and spatial characteristics. We will connect with residents of this age to give us information on

The Usefulness of the Psychology of Perception
The applications of the psychology of perception in fields as diverse as architecture, design, and advertising have been significant.
Behavior and Learning
This is the field in which psychology has focused on a more behavioral approach. Behaviorism seeks to study phenomena that can only be known objectively, emphasizing observable inputs and disregarding unobservable internal states. While the introspective method is dominant in many schools of psychology,
