Abstract

The effect on learning of some important factors which are difficult to deal with, is very often ignored; fear is a key example of this situation. Due to the crucial influence of this feeling on learning, this paper tries to explain how it appears, which are its mechanisms and the way it acts on our mind, in order to get rid of it, or at least, mitigate its negative consequences.
