Content requirements:

Watch the movie: Inside-Out

Write a three (3) page or more paper (paper will include all three (3) parts) that utilizes information from Chapters 7-9. Please include the following bold items from your textbook (of course you can choose to use more):

Part I: What was the premise of the movie? Tell Riley’s story in terms of the following: What is Affect? What were Riley’s five emotions?
What were some of Riley’s memories? Were those memories Procedural, Declarative or Flashbulb? Explain What stage of development is Riley in? Would this event and the emotions it brings about have any effect on her development (Think Erikson)? If so, how? How are Riley’s memories connected to her thinking, motivation and emotions?How does Riley express her emotions? What does it look like on the outside? What are Riley’s problem-solving skills? How does she work through her experience of having to move to a new town? Does she take control of her emotions? What decisions does Riley make (good or bad)? Can or does Riley recognize the feelings of her parents? How has her moving affected the relationship with her parents? What is Language? How could Riley problem solve (use the language we use inside our heads) in order to be able to tell her parents what she is experiencing about her emotions and memories? Is Riley afraid she will forget her previous experiences? What does Cognition refer to? Does Riley have any Cognitive Maps? If so, describe one.Using the Behaviorist position of B. F. Skinner, how does Riley’s environment determine her speech and language use? What parts of Riley’s decisions are avoidance and/or acceptance?What is Stress? What demands has Riley’s situation placed on her? What defense mechanisms does Riley use to shield herself from the stress?

Part II: Once you have Riley’s story written, think of your own story. Choose an event of your own that includes all of the above (cognition, development, emotions, memories, problem solving and language skills). Tell your story using the same concepts from the textbook used for Riley’s story.

Part III: Now, think of a scenario within your intended career (if you don’t have one yet, choose something) that would incorporate cognition, development, emotions, memories problem solving and language skills. Explain this scenario in detail using the same concepts from the textbook used for Riley’s story.
