This course is talking about the cognition. You are going to write a reaction paper for the article ” Tenenbaum, J. B., Griffiths, T. L., & Kemp, C. (2006). Theory-based Bayesian models of
inductive learning and reasoning. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 10(7), 309-318.” Please use the APA 7th Style and you need to cite at least 6 references from the course material (I have uploaded my course materials in the file named “Sternberg&Sternberg_Ch12(1)”).
Here are the instructions:
Instructors use reaction papers to teach students to critically evaluate research and synthesize current research with course materials. A reaction paper typically includes a brief summary of the article, including previous research, hypotheses, research methods, main results, and conclusions. The next step is your critical response. You might criticize the research, identify unanswered questions, suggest future research, or reflect on the implications of the research. Some instructors may want you to connect the material you learned in class to the article’s theory, methods, and findings. Remember that a reaction paper requires more than a simple summary of what you have read.
To successfully complete this reaction paper, you should read the article carefully. Do not just highlight the important facts and interesting findings. Ask yourself questions as you read: What is the researcher’s hypothesis? What does the article contribute to the field? Are the findings generalizable? To whom can they be generalized? Are the conclusions valid and based on the results? Paying attention to figures and tables is important because they can help you better evaluate the researcher’s claims.
