The group was created in 1987 in response to the request by the Ministry of Education to form a group of researchers whose focus was on psychological evaluation and treatment:

• Child and Adolescent: mental retardation, hyperactivity, conduct disorders, behavioral problems and Asperger’s syndrome
• Intellectual modifiability
• Program Evaluation
• Cognitive functioning in the elderly
• Giftedness
• Immigrant children and young people: problems of adaptation.
• School and social adaptation in immigrant children
• Workshops for parents
• Evaluation and training of interpersonal habilities

The group has worked for various public bodies in the assessment of intervention programs. Among these, it has assessed a campaign to quit smoking undertaken by Andalusian pharmacies and an educational program run by the Ministry of Employment called “Learn to Grow in Safety”.
