Additionally, this week you will choose a research article, news article, or media source covering a topic from the last few weeks, this week included, that was striking to you, or of particular interest. If you choose a research article, please utilize appropriate search channels like google scholar. Otherwise, feel free to use news outlets or video media that has a clear research component. The content should be from the last 5 years – for example if you’re interested in memory, you can look up articles on working memory or clinical cases with memory deficits (Alzheimer’s disease, amnesias, etc). The world is your oyster! The goal is to engage in research reading and craft a brief write up. Guidelines are reflected below in the assignment portal. Once you have drafted a 2-3 page write up, please navigate to discussion board to tell us a bit about your research topic, outcomes, and your thoughts! Please comment on at least one of your classmates posts for full credit!
Science in the News: Once during this summer semester period, you will pick one cognitive psychology research article and discuss the application of cognitive psychological principles you’ve learned and how they apply to the research outcomes. To earn full credit, students must compose and entry that shows understanding, analysis and thoughtful application of the course materials in their response. Papers should include discussion of relevant cognitive psychological concepts, theories, or research findings that we’ve learned up to that point. The writing should also be well-organized, concise, and contain no typing errors in order to earn full credit.
Outside sources (e.g., other websites, youtube videos, etc) can supplement support for your ideas, but outside sources should not replace course content. So, even if you refer to outside sources, you must also refer to relevant materials covered in the textbook to earn full credit. Whenever you refer to others’ material or research (i.e., including content from the textbook), you should cite these sources according to APA style and provide a references page.
Similar to your journal entries, this submission will be in APA formatting
