This theory suggests that humans can construct a model in their brains of the thoughts, emotions, actions and intentions of others.

Set of complex organic and subjective reactions that an individual experiences when responding to certain external stimuli that allow him to adapt to a situation with respect to a person, an object or a place.

While emotions are normally directed at someone or something, mood tends to be less intense than an emotion, lacking a contextual stimulus, so they are not targeted at particular things or people.

Emotions can enhance students’ memories, and lead to deeper and more permanent learning.

Refers to the set of internal or external factors that determine or condition actions at a given time giving them direction and meaning.

In psychology, any goal to which we can direct behavior we refer to as an

Anything that increases the likelihood of behaving in a particular way we refer to as a

Compliments or Special recognition for positive behavior, such as extra free time in a game can be consider as a negative reinforcers while removing domestic duties for the weekend when a child keeps their room clean all week positive reinforcers

Giving extra homework or chores to students who misbehave its a good example of positive punishment and Grounding a teenager for arriving home late its a good example of negative punishment

It is involved in processing the emotional meaning of experiences and generating emotional responses, storing the emotional aspects of memory and in the modulation of behavior. Specialy role in negative emotional responses to significant events, notably fear and disgust.

regulates autonomic (‘fight or flight’) and hormonal responses to emotional stimuli and is often thought of as the ‘feeling brain’.

It participates in aspects of behavior, including emotional behavior. The amygdala has connections with it through its mediation of autonomic and hormonal functions.

Have their main role in the control and inhibition of emotional responses adapting it to the demands of each situation. Its responsible for the coordination between cognition and emotion for impulse control, decision making and emotional regulation.

Research has shown that where stress comes before or after the task and the duration of the stressors (when its chronic) can have negative effects on learning.

small amount of stress (mild stress) has positive effect which peaks when moderate levels of stress are reached, although this effect is lost at higher doses.

The nucleus accumbens(Nac) is involved in the connection between motivation and action. His injury causes loss of initiative with apathy and demotivation.

Mirror neurons are associated with one of the most intriguing aspect of our complex thought process that is “Intention understanding”. The knowing WHAT and the WHY or WHAT FOR

Dopamine and its critical actions for motivation are in a pathway called the mesolimbic pathway. a neural pathway that transports dopamine from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, and hippocampus.

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) does not regulate reward consumption, learning, memory, and addictive behaviors by mediating dopamine release.
