Effective-Learning

/in /by

The “effective-learning” assignment will test your ability to think, generate hypotheses, and, in general, apply psychological science. The task will be to read a paper referenced in the “A guide to Effective Studying and Learning” by Matthew G. Rhodes, Anne M. Cleary, & Edward L. DeLosh.  Then you will write a brief (about 400 words) summary of the paper. In this summary, outline what the hypotheses were, what the methodology was, what the results were, and what are the implications of these results.   You will then write an additional analysis (about 200 words) about how one could take the results of that study and use it to improve the efficiency of their own learning.  In this second section, consider what the data show and how learners can apply those results to make themselves better learners.  Think about this last section as a “letter to grandma” in which you explain how a particular memory/learning technique can be incorporated into your own learning.   This section should be in simple language that anyone can understand.

Requirements

  1. The paper you review must be from the Reference section of Rhodes et al (2019).  If your chosen paper is not from Rhodes et al (2019), your project will not be read or graded.
  2. Do not use any quotes from the paper. Quoting will result in a lower grade.
  3. Do not paraphrase – use your own writing. Any plagiarism will result in a project not being read or graded.
  4. If you do not know what the word “plagiarism” means, read below and make sure you understand.
  5. A full reference to the paper used must be included.
  6. The project must be between 500 and 700 words. Projects shorter and longer will not be read or graded.  You must craft your arguments to fit into the word limit. The word limit refers to the body of your project and does not include a title page (not required), references, and any supplementary material you add (not required).
  7. APA style is encouraged but not required.
  8. You may email me questions on how best to do this project

Benchmark – Dual Relationship Case Study

/in /by

Research Psychologist A has been conducting a study with human subjects for nearly a year. As a result, A has come to know Participant M quite well. The study is taking longer than expected, and some of the participants are leaving the study. Because of the nature of the working relationship with the participants, Research Psychologist A and Participant M have become interested in an intimate relationship. Since neither one wants to jeopardize the progress of the study, they agree to retain only a professional relationship for the duration of the study, and then to pursue an intimate relationship once the study is completed and the results have been published.

In this assignment, you will address the ethical issues of this case and will present options for resolving the ethical conflict. You will be required to consider individual perceptions as well as the needs, potential, and motivation of the involved parties when positing your resolution.

Case Study 2 — Susan: Adjusting Career Goals

Social Psychology Theory — Confirmation Bias: The tendency to notice and search for information that confirms one’s beliefs and to ignore information that disconfirms one’s beliefs.

Behavioral Ethics Concept — Conformity Bias: Conformity bias refers to our tendency to take cues for proper behavior in most contexts from the actions of others rather than exercise our own independent judgment.

Critical Thinking Concept — Point of View: Point of view is literally “the place” from which you view something. It includes what you are looking at and the way you are seeing it. It is important to understand the limitations of your point of view and that you fully consider other relevant viewpoints.
