Week 3 Assignment

Assignment Instructions

POPULAR VERSUS SCHOLARLY SOURCES

Overview

In this course, you’ll practice applying science and theory to making evaluations of conditions and also bringing audiences, like the public, along in action steps. First, you’ll want to hone your analytical skills. It’s also good to see the kind of information that’s out there in the world. So in this assignment, you’ll try distinguishing valuable information from less-reliable sources.

Preparation

If you haven’t already, find a popular video or website that covers a topic from your course text. The topic must be related to cognition or learning. Our textbook is a good way to search for concepts or topics relevant to cognitive psychology. You can use the CRAAP Test Worksheet from Week 2 to help you determine whether you consider the media valid and what additional questions you have about the topic.

Instructions

Use the Popular Versus Scholarly Sources Worksheet Template [DOCX] to complete this assignment.

Select a popular media source like a video or a website that covers a topic from your course text.

Provide the full reference for the source.

Summarize the content of the source using bullet points in complete sentences or a 5–8 sentence paragraph.

Identify at least three peer-reviewed journal articles on the topic covered in the source and explain their relevance to the topic. Provide the full references for the articles in APA format.

Compare and contrast information provided in the source with the three articles by answering the following questions:

What information provided by the popular source is supported by research or information provided in the articles? Provide enough specifics so that you are citing each of the sources in this area.

What, if any, information in the articles conflicts with the popular source?

Do you consider the media source you selected to be valid? Why or why not?

What questions do you have about the topic based on your analysis?

Explain how the topic you reviewed can be applied to solve problems in the real world. Once you have provided a narrative on application, to reach distinguished, illustrate with examples, which may include personal examples.

Provide a self-evaluation of each of the criteria for the assignment with a level of performance and a rationale for your selection. In this section it is ok to write in first person since you are evaluating your own work.

Important: Prior to submission, conduct a self-evaluation of your performance on the worksheet using the scoring guide and identifying what you believe to be your proficiency level for each criterion. (The scores are Nonperformance, Basic, Proficient, or Distinguished.)

Additional Requirements

Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

Resources: Use your course resources and at least three peer-reviewed and scholarly resources (no more than five years old).

Week 5 Assignment

Assignment Instructions

COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY PAPER

Overview

Now that you’ve looked at a popular media source through the lens of some scholarly literature, you can evaluate peer-reviewed articles in more depth while applying a theory to learning. You’ll analyze if a theory is supported by the research. This is an important skill for the Week 7 assignment, where you’ll need to use articles to support an evaluation of conditions and treatments.

 

Preparation

If you haven’t already, select at least three articles from this week’s readings and review them. Fo
