a. Discuss your observations about the foundational principles supporting this theory. Choose one or more of the identified principles and speak about how they do or don’t ‘connect’ or make ‘fit’ for you. (e.g. I appreciate that there are ‘patterns’ – or ways of responding or being in relationship that tend to repeat. I think people can get stuck and need therapy to help them get unstuck)

b. Discuss the theory of psychopathology – why people get sick – reflect and note what you think about that and feel free to disagree (e.g. I don’t believe that all our relationship and other problems can be traced back to childhood experiences as the psychodynamic theorists propose, I think a focus on the future makes more sense than a focus on the past, especially as I think about work with children….)

c Discuss your thoughts about the therapeutic process from this perspective – including discussion of one or more elements of practice described in your text. (e.g. I don’t like the way a psychodynamic therapist ‘interprets’ everything like a complete expert – as if the client doesn’t know anything. As a counselor I hope to trust my clients to be partners as we work to make their life more the way they want it.)

For this assignment, you are tasked with completing a 6-8-page paper that addresses the major structures of the brain and the influence these have on cognition and learning. By completing this assignment, you will demonstrate (a) an understanding of the major brain structures, (b) fluency in the processes that occur within the brain, leading to the learning of specific behaviors, and (c) the connections of the relationships required between major brain structures and cognitive functions to facilitate the learning process.
In completing the assignment, include the following, ensuring details are provided to fully elucidate the concepts presented:
Select 2-3 learning experiences, describing, in detail, how each experience generally occurs.Examples of learning experiences one might consider are learning to ride a bike, learning a new language, learning to bake a cake, to name a few.

In describing each learning experience, identify at least 4 specific brain structures or functions that contribute to or impede the selected learning processes.
For each identified function or structure, describe and define the structure of the brain and purpose, with detail.Include a diagram, a process model, or provide another visual representation of the brain structures and functions depicting accurate examples of the structural changes that might occur or steps in the process of the learning tasks selected.

As a major purpose of the work is to demonstrate an understanding of the brain structures related to learning processes, close your work with a succinct summary of the major aspects of the topic from the learning experiences you selected.Share your conclusions as a result of completing this project; how is the knowledge you have gained useful to the field of cognitive psychology, the larger field of psychology, and society overall?

Include a minimum of 6 to 7 pages, not including APA formatted required title and reference pages; submit APA style in-text citations throughout the work as well.
The basic parts of a paper should also be included; these are the opening, introduction section, with a precise thesis statement, the body of the paper with clear, discernable headings formatted to APA style levels of heading where appropriate, and a conclusion that restates the thesis and summarizes the major points of the entire paper.

Chapter 1 talks a lot about cohorts and their impact on individuals. Does this make sense to you? Was it new information? Can I get two random answers paragraph so I can send it as the discussion responses. The teacher asked for two reply’s to two students.

Lots to think about. Write each response as if it were a small paragraph.
CREDIBLE SOURCES – What did you learn from all the assigned reading material about vetting, selecting, and integrating data from professional sources?
What does it mean to make an assertion and defend it? What is the role of sources?Discuss the purpose and importance of asserting and defending your position. You will not find this answer in a dictionary – it will come from everything you’ve been reading and thinking about.
How does the use of credible sources fit into the upcoming career paper?
Thinking ahead to the Career Paper, which careers are you thinking about? Have you started identifying the three careers you might be interested in knowing more about? What are those three and why?
What did you learn from your library assignment?
Identify three of the oldest psychology research journals that psychologists could use. What is your support for selecting these articles? Try to create the most accurate reference list for these articles. What can the librarians do to help you “get it right?”
How does the APA style format influence our communication?
Summarize the topics and what you took away from each video; give an example of each format or style takeaway from the videos.

Personnel Psychology is the topic
In this project, you will introduce your project topic with an annotated bibliography as the beginning of your course project. You will investigate a topic in your specialization area for your project. Because ethics is so fundamental to the field of psychology, you will also make a preliminary assessment of ethical concerns that should be considered in relation to your topic.
Review the Applying Theory to Practice course project description. For your annotated bibliography, present at least seven current, peer-reviewed journal articles from the field’s literature that address your chosen subfield of I/O psychology. (For this assignment, current resources are defined as materials published within the last 3–5 years.) Use the I/O topic guides in the Capella library (linked in Resources). Incorporate both theoretical and empirical studies in your annotated bibliography. Focus your research on the current practices in your chosen subfield and on the historical and theoretical background that has influenced its development.
Select the most relevant resources from your research thus far, and write a full APA reference for each. Complete a bibliographical annotation for each of your resources, incorporating a brief summary of each article, an evaluation of its relevance to your project topic, any ethical concerns, and the other features of a complete annotation (as outlined in the instructions below). The annotation for each resource should be no more than two paragraphs in length.
The following instructions, adapted from J. D. Lester’s Writing Research Papers, outline general guidelines for approaching your annotated bibliography:
List the complete APA citation for the material.
Explain the main purpose of the material.
Briefly describe the content in a 1–2 paragraph summary.
Evaluate the relevance of the information and indicate how you think it applies well to your subject in one paragraph.
Note any special features of the material, including tables or graphs, that contribute to its value.
Identify any ethical considerations, if appropriate.
Refer to additional helpful links in Resources for further guidance on writing your annotated bibliography.
Your assignment should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
Number of resources: A minimum of seven resources.
Length of paper: 4–5 typed, double-spaced pages, including title page.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

4.12 Was Watson’s study ethicalIn this unit, we discussed John Watson’s research with Little Albert, in which he demonstrated how a conditioned emotional response (fear of white rats) could be acquired through classical conditioning. Although current ethical guidelines in Psychology were not in place when Watson did this research, ethical considerations are an important aspect of current research in Psychology. In this extra credit assignment, I would like you to critique Watson’s study with regards to ethics in Psychology.Review your notes and the textbook’s description of Watson’s study (Little Albert experiment).
Read the Simply Psychology article on ethics (link below).
https://www.simplypsychology.org/Ethics.html Links to an external site.
Choose three of the ethical issues in Psychology that are listed in the article. For each, briefly summarize the issue and discuss the extent to which you feel Watson’s study followed (or didn’t follow) this ethical guideline.
You answer needs to be in your own words. If you use additional sources make sure that you cite them either formally or informally. (Please I don’t want plagiarism)

Describe how psychology uses the scientific method and why it is important to follow this method when conducting research studies.
Then explain why ethics are important to have in place when conducting research.
