2 at Binghamton, NY, USA Research fellow in Psychology, State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY- Binghamton), NY, USA. Research assistant and research fellow, Department of Psychology, University of Deusto, Bilbao, Spain, RESEARCH RESEARCH FOCUS I am interested in the study of the basic mechanisms that all learning and cognition is built upon (i.e., the primitives of cognition). I am specifically interested in understanding the role of spatiotemporal contiguity, the role of temporal order in learning, and the mechanisms underlying temporal and spatial integration of acquired behaviors. One of the higher-order cognitive processes to which these primitives of cognition can be applied is causality judgments. My assumption is that causal learning is built upon the same principles of association that apply to other forms of learning, and should follow the same principles of association as learning about noncausal stimuli. In the long term, I am interested in the implementation of computational tools that would allow for the building and testing of the primitives of cognition, and the study of the conditions necessary for the development of higher-order cognition from the use of these primitives and their interactions. The ultimate goal would be the implementation of a unified architecture of basic cognition, in which to study how (human and nonhuman) organisms are able to interact with their environment, make sense of it, and adapt to it. An additional advantage of this approach is its potential implications for the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics.

3 TEACHING TEACHING PHILOSOPHY I have had an extensive education in pedagogy and teaching techniques, and a wide experience in teaching a large variety of (graduate and undergraduate) small- and large-section Psychology and Computer Science courses in Spain and the USA. I believe that each student has an individual way of learning, and each class has a different dynamic and personality. My main goal has been not only to provide opportunities for students to become knowledgeable on the subject under study, but also to provide conditions that allow them to think critically in every aspect of their life. I believe these goals can be achieved by carefully tailoring the material and way of delivering content (to the extent possible) to the class as a group and to each student as an individual.
