Assignment: Choosing Your Focus

Week 3 – Assignment: Choosing Your Focus

(Assignment: Choosing Your Focus)

Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required  readings from the first three weeks as well as the articles you used in  your Week 2 Discipline-Based Literature Review. During this course, you  have been developing your knowledge in the area of learning and  cognition. In the Week 2 assignment, there was special focus on six  topics that influence a wide variety of disciplines in psychology and  other fields. In the final week of this course, you will develop a  Learning and Cognition Handbook based on these topics.

This week, you will write an extensive review and annotated bibliography on one of the six main course topics below:

  • Traditional learning theories: Operant and classical conditioning
  • Traditional learning theories: Behaviorism and social learning theory
  • Attention and memory
  • Decision-Making
  • Language acquisition
  • Organizational and lifelong learning

The topic you choose should be based on the area in which you would  most like to develop your knowledge. Your choice should also consider  your current interests in psychology and support your future career  goals.

As you prepare this assignment, keep in mind that it is designed to  assist you with beginning the process of drafting your Learning and  Cognition Handbook, which is due in Week 6. It is recommended that your  paper be checked in Grammarly (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and through Turnitin (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. prior to submission.

Include the following components in your review:

Introduction: Explain your motivation focusing on your chosen topic and describe how this topic aligns with your future career goals.

Research: Research five Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the Ashford University Library focusing on your chosen topic, and provide an annotated bibliography (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..  These articles must provide sufficient information so that they will  support your work in the Learning and Cognition Handbook. (See the  instructions in Week 6 for further clarification.) Provide a complete  reference for each of the five articles. Beneath each reference, provide  an annotation that explains the theoretical perspectives, historical  trends, and/or empirical research within the article that describe and  define your chosen construct.

Conclusion: Provide a concluding paragraph that  synthesizes the cognitive learning principles and theories found within  the articles as they relate to your chosen construct.
