PSY 352 Week 1 Discussion Hot Topics in Cognitive Psychology NEW
Hot Topics in Cognitive Psychology. 1st Post Due by Day 3. The goal of this discussion forum is to offer you an introduction to the field of cognitive psychology.
Cognitive psychology is a discipline within psychology that is concerned with the scientific study of the human mind. The mind is responsible for a variety of functions and abilities, including perception, attention, consciousness, memory, reasoning, and decision-making.
Most of our mental life is unconscious. If the objects of our attention are equated to the objects of our consciousness, it is reasonable to assume that we are aware of only a limited number of events in our daily lives.
For your initial post, complete the following steps:
Watch the video entitled, The Magic of the Unconscious: Automatic Brain.
Select a “hot topic” of cognitive psychology based on what you have heard and/or seen in the media and your personal interests.
Look for a report in the media (e.g., newspapers, magazines, web pages of professional organizations, etc.) that refers to the selected topic such as “defendant cannot remember what happened,” “false memories explain UFO abduction stories,” and so forth.
Describe the content of the selected report and offer your own perspective. Namely, use your critical- thinking skills to examine the extent to which the claims made in the report and the evidence upon which the report relies are to be trusted. Then, discuss the real-life consequences of the evidence reported.
In your post, include a link to the selected report, and explain to the members of the class why you have selected it. Support your points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words.
Guided Response: Offer a substantial response to at least two other classmates’ posts. Respond to a post made by a classmate who discussed a different report from the one that you have selected, a post made by a classmate who discussed the same report, and any inquiry made by your instructor. In your responses, discuss whether you agree or disagree with the points made in your classmates’ initial posts. Be sure that you cite scientific evidence to support your views. Each response post should be a minimum of 200 words. Continue monitoring the discussion board until 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Day 7 of the week.

PSY 352 Week 2 Assignment Understanding Memory Loss (2 Papers) NEW
Understanding Memory Loss. Due by Day 7. Memory loss is frightening. The purpose of this assignment is to make you think of memory loss realistically. Complete the steps listed below:
- Watch the video, Living Without a Memory, which provides an overview of memory and discusses actual cases of memory loss.
- Select a movie that has featured a character with memory loss. Describe the main features of the impairment exhibited by the movie character.
Engage your critical thinking skills. How accurately is memory loss featured in the selected movie? Specifically, does the memory loss in the movie resemble actual cases? Is appropriate terminology used? Is the prognosis realistic?
Note that statements regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of the memory loss illustrated in the movie are to be supported by evidence collected by cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists (i.e., experts).
Thus, review the literature on memory loss and use at least two peer-reviewed articles that can answer the questions above. Although your opinion is valuable and always welcome, it needs to be supported by scientific evidence.
Express your thoughts about how the movie could have more realistically depicted memory loss, its cause(s), time-course, and prognosis.
Describe the memory loss featured in the selected movie as well as discussing its accuracy Keep in mind that accuracy refers to the description of symptoms, potential cause(s), prognosis and actual time-course
Your paper must begin with an introduction to the selected topic in which you define all concepts that will be discussed in the paper. You must also include a conclusion expressing your thoughts about how the movie could have more realistically depicted memory loss, its causes, time-course, and prognosis.

it uses only the average examples, not all of the examples in memory.
it is not economical to store every single example in memory.
Question 3
Several researchers have examined how well deaf participants remember signs, just as listeners remember words they hear. In listening, words that sound alike are less likely to be remembered. What happens withAmerican Sign Language?

PSY 352 Week 3 Assignment Memory Errors in Real Life (2 Papers) NEW
Memory Errors in Real Life. Due by Day 7. Laypersons are often unaware of the extent to which memory errors (including memory of events that did not occur and memory distortions) are commonplace and widespread. The purpose of this assignment is to make you think of not only memory errors in real life, but also the reasons behind their occurrence. Consider the steps listed below:
Read the “Adaptive Constructive Processes and the Future of Memory” and “Creating False Memories” articles, which offer an overview of memory errors and their origins.
Keep in mind that your textbook is another valuable source of information regarding memory errors.
Select a case mentioned in a news article where memory errors have been known or can be assumed to have occurred (e.g., eyewitness testimony, instances of recovered memories of traumatic experiences,
etc.).
Describe the main features of the errors, their consequences, and their possible sources (i.e., what are the features of human memory that make the errors possible?).
Engage your critical thinking skills:
Explain what cognitive psychology suggests that people do to decrease the occurrence of the memory errors that you discuss in your paper. If these errors cannot be avoided, what does cognitive psychology
suggest that people do to prevent the often damaging consequences of such errors?
Note that statements regarding the inaccuracy of human memory, and strategies to decrease the occurrence of errors and their consequences are to be supported by scientific evidence collected by experts.
Thus, review the literature on memory errors and use at least two peer-reviewed articles that can answer the questions above.
Must begin with an introduction to the selected topic in which you define all concepts that will be discussed in the paper.
Include a brief description of the memory errors featured in the selected news article as well as discussing potential sources and known or likely consequences according to the guidelines described above.
Include a conclusion expressing your thoughts about how these memory errors can be prevented or reduced, and the extent to which their often dreadful consequences can be minimized. Keep in mind that although your opinion is valuable, it needs to be supported by scientific evidence.
The Memory Errors in Real Life Paper
Must be three to four double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

PSY 352 Week 3 Discussion The Fallible Nature of Memory NEW
The Fallible Nature of Memory. 1st Post Due by Day 3. In this discussion forum, you will explore the imperfect content of our memories of experiences. For your initial post, complete the following steps:
• Watch the following videos: o FalseMemories
o LoftusSpeaks:TheMalleabilityofMemory
In the videos, Loftus describes the ease with which false memories can be created or altered.
Yet people like Paul Shanely are incarcerated, convicted of heinous crimes based on the testimony of men who have claimed to have repressed memories of years of childhood sexual abuse until adulthood. The two sides of the argument are referred to as “The Memory Wars.” For this discussion, choose one of the following prompts:
Analyze both sides of the Shanely case. Which side is best supported by the scientific evidence? Which one do you support and why?
Analyze the case of the Ramona family. How could the daughter repress such memories for so long? Does the fact that her father successfully sued the therapist prove that the memories are false?
Analyze the case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton. How is it possible to be so sure that you recognize a face when it is not the right person?
Provide an overview of Loftus’ research. How does that prove (or not) that memories can be created or altered?
Use your critical thinking skills and present a cogent analysis and argument for the position you choose to defend. Support your points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates. Choose posts that address a different prompt than you chose. In your answers, discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the content of each post.
A minimum of 200 words should be used for each response to other posts. Be certain to continue monitoring the discussion board until 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Day 7 of the week.

PSY 352 Week 4 Assignment Understanding Experiments in Cognition (2 Papers) NEW
Understanding Experiments in Cognition.
Due by Day 7. It is reasonable to admit that in four weeks you have been exposed to a great deal of information about the human mind! This assignment will give you the opportunity to examine how the knowledge that you have acquired during the past weeks may tie together.
You will explore a phenomenon that interests you, highlight the methodologies used to study it, uncover the results obtained, and assess the validity of the knowledge acquired. These activities will make you aware of the intrinsic relationship between knowledge of specific mental and behavioral phenomena, as well as the limitations of the techniques used to study them.
Knowledge in cognitive psychology is largely gathered by means of experiments.
Thus, it is important that you become intimately familiar with this data-gathering method.
The goal of the assignment is to ensure that you have a good understanding of specific cognitive psychological phenomena as well as experiments that are often used to investigate such phenomena. Abide by the instructions listed below:
Watch the video, Experimental Research Methods in Psychology, on the experimental method.
Go to the Ashford University Library or Google Scholar and select a peer-reviewed article on a topic of interest among those discussed in our class. If you prefer, you may select an article from the recommended resources.
Describe the main research questions that the study attempts to answer.
Keep in mind that a description of the main question of the study entails an explanation of the importance of the question (i.e., illustrates the gap in the existing literature).
State the main hypothesis (prediction) made by the researchers.
Identify the key variables.
Describe the critical characteristics of both the participants and the procedures used.
Summarize the main findings. How do these findings answer the question that the researchers formulated in the introductory section of the article?
Explain the extent to which the findings answer the research question.
Do the findings support their research question (or prediction)?
Illustrate the weaknesses and strengths of the selected study. For instance, ask yourself questions such as the following:
o Is the technique used to understand the selected phenomenon able to gather adequate information about it?
o How does this technique compare to other techniques used in cognitive psychology?
o Do the findings of the selected study generalize to individuals who may be different from those
who participated (young versus older adults)?
• Please note that research articles often contain more than one study. Thus, in this assignment, you are given the opportunity to describe each experiment separately or focus on what you believe to be the most significant experiment.
Your paper must begin with an introduction to the selected topic in which you define the research question and all concepts that will be discussed in the paper.
For instance, let us assume you select the article by Strayer and Johnston “Driven to Distraction: Dual-Task Studies of Simulated Driving and Conversing on a Cellular Telephone” as the topic of your paper. Then your task is to state the question the researchers want to answer and define the terms attention, divided attention, and distraction.
Your paper requires a brief summary of the content of the selected article according to the guidelines described above. It also requires a conclusion expressing your thoughts about the strengths and weaknesses of the available evidence. If possible, suggest the course that future research should take if the answer to the selected question is less than conclusive.
The Memory Errors in Real Life Paper
Must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

PSY 352 Week 4 Discussion Problem Solving Popular Beliefs and Evidence NEW
Problem Solving: Popular Beliefs and Evidence. 1st Post Due by Day 3. In this discussion forum, you will assess the validity of popular assumptions and beliefs about problem solving. Please note that your answers need be supported by scientific evidence. For your initial post, complete the steps below:
Watch the video, Rory Sutherland: Sweat the Small Stuff, on how simplicity can benefit problem solving.
Select one of the following topics:
o Laypersonsandscientist’salikeoftenreportthatafterhavingtriedtosolveaproblemforanentire day, “sleeping on it” led to a solution. Does sleep indeed promote problem solving?
o Laypersonsandscientist’salikeoftenreportthatasolutiontoaproblemmaycometomindafter having taken a break from thinking about the problem. Does incubation really work?
Select a theoretical view/model of problem solving (e.g., Gestalt psychology, information processing approach, etc.). What is the evidence that supports it? What evidence, if any, does not fit the model?
Are experts better at solving problems than non-experts? If so, what is responsible for experts’ superior performance? Is their superiority general or limited to their field of expertise?
Are there individual differences in problem-solving abilities? For instance, is working memory’s capacity linked to one’s ability to solve problems?
After you select a topic, access the Ashford University Library and Google Scholar and review the literature on problem solving.
Then select a research article that answers the questions related to the selected topic. Finally, share the evidence you have uncovered and your critical examination of such evidence with the class. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words.
Guided Response: Offer a substantial response to at least two other posts written by members of the class.
Respond to a post that discusses a different topic from the one that you have selected, a post that discusses the same topic, and an inquiry from your instructor. Keep in mind that both your peers and your instructor are members of the class.
In your answers, discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the content of each post. Be sure that you cite scientific evidence to support your views. A minimum of 200 words should be used for each response to other posts

PSY 352 Week 5 Discussion Language, Perception, and Cognition NEW
Language, Perception, and Cognition. 1st Post Due by Day 3. In this discussion forum, you will examine what language says about how the human mind works. More specifically, you will consider whether the language people speak (including the words that are available to them and the way words are organized to convey meaning) merely offers a window into human cognition or it can actually affect the way people perceive and understand the world.
Please note that your answer to this question needs be supported by scientific evidence. For your initial post, complete the steps below:
Watch the videos, Steven Pinker: What our Language Habits Reveal and Keith Chen: Could your Language Affect your Ability to Save Money? on the links between language and cognition.
Read The New York Times article Does Your Language Shape How You Think? to further your understanding of the links between language and cognition.
Access the Ashford University Library and Google Scholar, review the psycholinguist literature, and then select a research article that offers an answer to the question about whether language shapes perceptions and thoughts or merely reflects them. Share the evidence you have uncovered and your critical examination of such evidence with the class. Your initial post must include a minimum of 300 words.
Guided Response: Offer a substantial response to at least two other posts written by members of the class. Respond to a post that discusses a different viewpoint from the one that you have selected, a post that discusses the same viewpoint, and an inquiry from your instructor.
Keep in mind that both peers and instructor are members of the class. In your answers, discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the content of each post. Be sure that you cite scientific evidence to support your views.

PSY 352 Week 5 Final Paper Questions in Psycholinguistics (2 Papers) NEW
Questions in Psycholinguistics. Due by Day 7. Language is an important tool for storing, organizing, and retrieving information that has been acquired throughout one’s life, as well as for thinking, modifying, and sharing such information with others. Thus, researchers ask many questions about language and its use. For this assignment, complete the steps listed below:
• Select one of the following topics:
o Recent research has shown that bilingualism shapes the human mind. What are some of the short-term and/or long-term consequences of bilingualism on information processing? Include at leasttwo sets of findings (e.g., speed of processing and vocabulary size) in your paper.
o Human language is more than a communication system. What are the unique properties of human language that make it different from communication systems used by other species?
o Most of language use in adults relies on reading, an ability that is often acquired later in life than the ability to speak and understand speech in one’s primary language. Why is learning how to read more challenging than learning how to speak in one’s primary language?
o Ambiguities in the meaning of words and phrases are far from rare occurrences. Yet, both speakers and listeners (or readers) often do not appear to notice them. What are these ambiguities,
and why do they often go unnoticed?
o Can you “forget” words in your first language while you are learning a second language? Summarize the available evidence to explain your answer.
o More than half a century ago, two researchers, Noam Chomsky and B. F. Skinner, debated the role of nature and nurture in language acquisition. What was the viewpoint of each researcher? What was the evidence upon which their contrasting viewpoints relied?
Review the literature on the selected topic.
For your selected topic, use at least three peer-reviewed articles that can answer the questions related to it.
Summarize the evidence you have found and then critically examine it. Engage your critical thinking skills.
For instance, ask yourself if the available evidence is sufficient to support the interpretations that researchers have proposed, and/or whether there are ambiguities and unknowns.
Begin your paper with an introduction to the selected topic in which you define all concepts that will be discussed in the paper. Include a brief summary of the content of the selected article according to the guidelines described above.
Analyze the key findings, illustrating the consistencies and inconsistencies.
Include a conclusion expressing your thoughts about the strengths and weaknesses of the available evidence. If possible, suggest the course that future research should take if answers are less than conclusive.
The Questions in Psycholinguistics Final Paper
Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
