Unit VII PowerPoint Presentation

Imagine that you are a practicing psychologist, and you are presenting at an upcoming psychology conference. Your chosen topic is childhood and late life/neurocognitive disorders. In your presentation, you want to teach the audience about the issues surrounding these disorders as well as the symptoms and treatments for them. In addition, you want to discuss the similarities and differences seen in the treatment of these disorders. To do this, you will need to prepare a PowerPoint to present to the audience. In your PowerPoint presentation, be sure to include the following elements:

 Describe the issues in the diagnosis of psychopathology in children.

 Describe genuine childhood and late life/neurocognitive disorder changes and common misconceptions about childhood and late life/neurocognitive disorder changes.

 Discuss the description, etiology, and symptoms for childhood and late life/neurocognitive disorders.

 Explain treatment of childhood and late life/neurocognitive disorders.

 Compare and contrast treatment approaches for childhood vs. late life disorders (in terms of the caregivers and support network).

Your PowerPoint presentation must be at least 12 slides in length. In addition to your textbook, you must use a minimum of one scholarly source. Any information from an outside source that is used should be cited appropriately according to APA format. You may use the notes field in PowerPoint to expand on your ideas, if necessary, but this is not required

Design a correlational study to investigate the relationship between these two variables. What is your hypothesis? How will you operationally define and measure the two variables?

Discussion 1 Research Study Activity
In each of the following cases, identify which experimental design was used and why the researcher may have chosen that design.

  1. In order to compare the effectiveness of two different types of therapy for depression, depressed patients were assigned to receive either cognitive therapy or behavior therapy for a 12-week period. The researchers attempted to ensure that the patients in the two groups had a similar severity of depressed symptoms by administering a standardized test of depression to each participant, then pairing them according to the severity of their symptoms.
  2. To assess the difference in reading comprehension between 7 and 9-year-olds, a researcher recruited a group of each from a local primary school. They were given the same passage of text to read, and then asked a series of questions to assess their understanding.
  3. To assess the effectiveness of two different ways of teaching reading, a group of 5-year-olds were recruited from a primary school. Their level of reading ability was assessed, and then they were taught using scheme one for 20 weeks. At the end of this period, their reading was reassessed, and a reading improvement score was calculated. They were then taught using scheme two for a further 20 weeks and another reading improvement score for this period was calculated. The reading improvement scores for each child were then compared.
  4. In order to assess the effect of organization on recall, a researcher randomly assigned student volunteers to two conditions. Condition one attempted to recall a list of words that were organized into meaningful categories; condition two attempted to recall the same words, randomly grouped on the page.

Discussion 2 Conducting Research Activity
Pick one research topic and answer the following questions.

Research Topic #1: The relationship between audience members' opinions of a movie and their mood.

Research Topic #2: The relationship between the amount of time couples spend together and their relationship satisfaction.

Research Topic #3: The relationship between self-esteem and test performance.

Research Topic #4: The relationship between time spent listening to Heavy/Speed Metal music and aggression.

Directions:

  • Design a correlational study to investigate the relationship between these two variables. What is your hypothesis? How will you operationally define and measure the two variables?
  • How will you obtain a random sample of participants?
  • Assume that your study produces a correlation of .56 between the two variables (between liking the movie and audience members’ happiness). What are at least three possible causal explanations for this relationship?
  • Now design an experimental study to investigate these variables. What is your hypothesis? What type of hypotheses does the experimental method allow you to test that the correlational method does not?
  • What is your independent variable? What is your dependent variable?
  • How will you make sure that the study has high internal validity? Will you use random assignment to conditions?
  • Do any ethical concerns about the treatment of participants emerge from your experimental design?

Discussion 3  Research Study Discussion

Much of today’s research in Psychology comes from colleges and universities. Research your college or a near-by state institution and identify one current study that is under way. Provide a brief overview of the research and whether or not the findings of that research would be of value to you someday.

Discussion 4  Personality Disorder Activity

The traits associated with personality disorders are often prototypes of characters in book, movies, and television. Pick three characters from a book, a movie, TV show or a video game with personality disorders. For each, complete the following:

Describe the character, the situation and the disorder.
Describe the traits of that disorder.
Identify the traits of what the character does or says that indicates the disorder

a good strategy that will help small businesses is sales. I say sales, because what individual does not like a discounted price? Not only will the sale price change, but also the customers will increase in number. The more customers the more products will decrease in the store. I once worked at a smaller business, until we got out of business. On this job, we was not making enough sales to keep the business up and going. With this being said, we ended up having to put the whole store on sale. No, I am not saying go and put everything on sale to help a small business, because you will be setting your business up for failure. I am saying with a small business, sales can help the business bring in more customers. Most small businesses provides sales, by weekly ads. In these ads, they have particular items on sales for that particular week. The business itself be packed with customers due to them trying to catch last minute sales.

Since this pandendemic started with Covid 19 new strategies have started to keep businesses open. It has been really hard to think of new working strategies that will work for the public and businesses. The new strategy of online orders has been a great idea that has been a working strategy that many are now suing. I think if this idea had not come a long a lot of businesses would have lost their business. This technique has increased sales and has gained new business for many type of companies. Online orders especially more now than ever have been used by consumers. Due to Covid 19 businesses have been trying many ways to stay in business and this has been a really helpful tool to use and inform consumers about. Consumers can use the many apps available for most businesses in the world to do many things like pay orders, make orders, leave ratings, etc. I find myself using this tool quite often throughout my daily living. I am sure many individuals also use this tool from time to time.
