Research shows that people think more deeplyand integrate information better when it ispersonally meaningful. The fields of positive psychology,motivation, and human resourcesdemonstrate that people perform better when they capitalizeon their natural strengths (ratherthan focus on developing their deficits).

Critically evaluate the statement that studying language can help us better understand human experience drawing on evidence from both cognitive and social psychology

/in /by

The question requires you to critically evaluate the statement that ‘studying language can help us to better understand human experience’, drawing on evidence from both cognitive and social psychology. experimental and qualitative methods and the types of knowledge they produce, their strengths and limitations in terms of what they can and cannot reveal about human experience. Use discursive psychology and how it has helped us to understand psychological phenomena and identity. Talk about how discursive psychology offers an alternative theoretical approach to cognitive psychology. ( and back this up with evidence). Include this alternative method (i.e. discourse analysis) and explain how different it is from more cognitive approaches (such as experimentation). (again, back this argument up with evidence) Describe how discourse analysis is a focus on the performative aspects of language, illustrate this draw on studies from chapters 4 and 9 that are attached. Keep points directly relevant and to summarise evaluation effectively. It should show some of the research work respected in the subject field and its development. The primary sources you should draw on are likely to be psychology journal articles, though they could be chapters from academic psychology books – not textbooks. chapters 4 and 9 should be used in this part of the assignment along with other primary sources that answer the question. This is a statutory requirement and will be added as attachments for this part of the essay.
PART 2
write an essay with the title. ‘Our biology determines our experience’. Critically evaluate this statement, drawing on evidence from both biological psychology and the psychology of individual differences. The word limit for this essay is again 2000 words, the question requires a critical evaluation of the statement that ‘our biology determines our experience. It should consider both the strengths and limitations of the statement in a balanced and well-evidenced manner. Discuss the concepts of creativity and personality; both of which are aspects of the human experience. Use Chapter 6 to focus specifically on research from the psychological domain of individual differences and consider some biological psychology research. Draw on material that covers aspects of human experience that may not be biologically determined; or that may be better understood through non-biological means.
Use Chapter 7 to discuss the importance of social construction in terms of human experience. it is important to substantiate the arguments with theory and empirical evidence, and that it answers the question as set by including work from biological psychology and the psychology of individual differences. Using this material, it should critically evaluate the statement that ‘our biology determines our experience’., however it has to integrate the material from the attached chapters and draw on the two psychological domains, i.e. biological psychology and the psychology of individual differences. It must be a coherent essay. Also add some relevant material beyond the chapter resources and include two primary sources not referred to in the chapter materials. It will need to show some systematic searching for relevant source materials that support the arguments made, the primary sources should draw on psychology journal articles, though they could be chapters from academic psychology books – not textbooks. chapters 2 and 6 and 7 should be used in this part of the assignment along with other primary sources that answer the question. This is a statutory requirement and will be added as attachments for this part of the essay.

Describe the form of memory, the memory process, or the characteristic of memory that is depicted through the content we have covered, as well as outside resources if helpful

/in /by

For the midterm, students are asked to submit a 4-page (double-spaced, Times New Roman sz 12 font) paper that summarizes and critiques the accuracy of how memory is depicted in the movie Memento. The objective of the written assignment is to provide an opportunity for you to think actively and independently about the nature of memory, as revealed through experimental research. Your assignment is to serve as a memory expert who has been called upon to review the movie Memento (2000). Your task is to write a review of the movie that highlights three characteristics of memory that are explicitly depicted in the film (Note: The movie depicts many more than three characteristics of memory; you should choose the three that you would like to write about).
Importantly, for each of the three characteristics you discuss, you should:
i. describe the form of memory, the memory process, or the characteristic of memory that is depicted through the content we have covered, as well as outside resources if helpful (remember citations).
ii. critically evaluate whether the depiction is accurate or inaccurate, stating exactly what the director got right or wrong;
iii. provide experimental evidence from the literature discussed in class and/or in the readings that supports your evaluation via citation.
iv. Use APA format in your paper. No abstract is needed, but include a Works Cited page (which should be the 5th page).

Is there a main effect of discomfort on attention? If so, describe it.

/in /by

To study the effects of physical discomfort on attention, Dr. Lopez conducted the following study: A group of participants were required to keep one hand submerged in cold water (52 degrees). Half of the participants kept their hand in the water for 2 minutes, and half of the participants kept their hand in the water for 4 minutes. In addition, half of the participants were given a placebo pill and told it would reduce the pain of the water (pain relief assumed). The other half were given a placebo pill and told that it would have no effect (no pain relief assumed). While their hands were in the water, participants engaged in a number of tasks that required attention, with the mean time in seconds of the tasks being recorded (quicker completion meant more attention).

  1. What are the independent variables in this design?
  2. State the design using ___ x ___ factorial notation. (see p. 356 of your textbook)
  3. What is the dependent variable in this design?
  4. Six possible sets of results are in the tables below. For each set of results, answer the following questions:
  5. Is there a main effect of discomfort on attention? If so, describe it.
  6. Is there a main effect of placebo on attention? If so, describe it.
  7. Is there a discomfort X Placebo interaction? If so, describe it.

Normally, researchers would use a statistical test to determine whether there are main effects or interactions.  For the purpose of this assignment, you can use informal, intuitive judgments.  You can consider any difference of 20 seconds or more as being “large.”  You might find it helpful to graph the results and to use Figure 12.20 in your textbook as a model.
