How much can you expect your readers to know about Windows? If some are likely to know little about Windows, should you provide that information? If you say no, then you run the risk of customers getting

Research Proposal

One of your most important concerns is just how much knowledge, experience, or training you can expect in your readers. If you expect some of your readers to lack certain background, do you automatically supply it in your document?

Consider an example: imagine you are writing a guide to using a software
product that runs under Microsoft Windows. How much can you expect your readers to
know about Windows? If some are likely to know little about Windows, should you
provide that information? If you say no, then you run the risk of customers getting

use a new smartphone—what are your readers going to expect to find in it? Imagine you are
under contract to write a background report on global warming for a national real estate
association—what do readers want to read about; and, equally important, what do they not
want to read about?

What should you do in this case? You can either write all the sections so that all the audiences of your document can understand them. Or you can write each section strictly for the audience that would be interested in it, then use headings
and section introductions to alert your audience about where to find relevant information in your report.

Theory of mind and pretend play

In class, we determined that researchers were likely making a type 2 error with the 3-year-old false belief tasks but not with the infant false belief task. Why do you think this is? What is it about the 3-year-old tasks but not the infant tasks that led to a type 2 error?

Name or describe any other experiment that supports your answer in A.

What type of study was it–a survey, case study, correlational study, or experiment?Do you see any problems with their conclusions or with the way the article interpreted the study’s conclusions?

Research study about Psychology

Popular media is full of stories about the latest and greatest scientific research; on the evening news, in magazines, in newspapers, and of course blogs. It’s important to evaluate these results with a critical eye.

For this assignment, go through a current newspaper (online or hard copy) and find an article that reports the results of a research study about psychology or a related field (medicine, economics, neuroscience, behavioral biology etc.).

Answer the following questions about the study as reported in the article:

(a) What type of study was it–a survey, case study, correlational study, or experiment?

(b) What variables did the researchers manipulate and/or measure?

(c) What did the researchers find? What did they conclude? and

(d) Do you see any problems with their conclusions or with the way the article interpreted the study’s conclusions?

Assignment Content

Classical conditioning happens more often than we may think because of implicit learning. Think about a reaction that you have when your phone beeps after you receive a message.

Do you feel an urge to check your phone? This is classical conditioning. The beep of the phone alone does not naturally produce the behavior of checking your phone, but because you have learned to associate that beep with an incoming message, you know that you should check your phone.

Imagine that your team has been asked to present to a group of high school students on how technology can affect behavior through classical conditioning in different aspects of life.

Create a 4 slide (not counting the title and reference slides) Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that illustrates the process of classical conditioning. Ensure you:

Briefly explain the process of classical conditioning.

Create a situational example that illustrates how technology can affect behavior through classical conditioning.
Identify the US, UR, CS, and CR in the example.

Include higher order conditioning, sensory preconditioning, and US revaluation, as well as explanations of each to your examples.

Include substantial speaker notes supporting your information.
