Theories and readings are attached:
Twice during this course, you will assume the role of a psychology professional in an applied setting and apply theories to suggest solutions to contemporary problems through a short paper. The purpose of these papers is to help you identify gaps in and propose improvements for professional disciplines based on the strengths and limitations of human cognitive systems while assessing foundational theories of cognitive psychology for their relevance to real-world issues.
Short papers should be approximately 3 to 5 pages in length and should be directed toward someone with limited or no background knowledge of psychological concepts or terminology. Because of this, you will want to explain relevant terms and concepts as you work through your paper. Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citation.
Your paper should include all of the following elements:
-An explanation of two theories to support the paper and how they connect to the applied setting
-An explanation of concepts and terminology appropriate for someone with limited or no background knowledge of psychological concepts
-An application of actionable steps to improve cognition
