Spanish Teresian Lectures on Psychology

Teresian Association (TA) Bacolod celebrated the feast of their founder, Saint Pedro Poveda, on July 28, 2009. As part of their celebration, they facilitated a series of lectures in their residence at Poveda House, 17th Street Lacson, Bacolod City last August 9 and 10. TA members, collaborators, friends and a member of Little Way Group from Kabankalan Diocese participated in the lectures.

Maria Rosa Elosua, a Teresian from Spain, generously shared her invaluable time and expertise in the field of education and psychology. She runs the Department of Basic Psychology at the Universidad de Educacion a Distancia in Spain and a prominent figure in the fields of Psychological Research in Europe. Rosa, as she is fondly called in the association, shared some important aspects of her researches on Cognitive Psychology especially on thinking, comprehension and working memory.

Discussions followed and snacks were served. The talk concluded with the thought that we are intelligent human beings and our knowledge should be shared and applied for the good of the community through the education of our children.
