REVIEW A PAPER ABOUT SLEEP DISORDERS

 

 

During Weeks 2, 3, and 6, you will complete a summary review of a scholarly, peer-reviewed, evidence-based, experimental study journal article related to either a topic covered in the Kalat (2008) textbook or one from the Sacks book as assigned. Expert opinion or theory articles or publications that review multiple studies are not permitted for these assignment; all articles must describe a research experiment conducted by the author(s), be written in a scholarly manner with conclusions at the end and suggested directions for future research. NOTE: Articles used for the Scholarly Article Summary assignments may also be used for the Course Paper.

The required length of the review paper body (not counting the title and Reference pages) is 2-3 pages. The paper must be properly source credited with APA formatted source citations both in the paper body and in a “Reference” page attached to the end. Correct source crediting means the words of the article author or authors are paraphrased (restated in the student’s own words, not copied), with a paper body source credit immediately following any paraphrasing and each source credited is also listed in an attached Reference page. Quoting is not needed for this assignment (your professor will be assessing the meaning you made of the material and the degree to which you analyzed and synthesized it with contents from course readings, not how well you can quote words written by someone else). Only a brief sentence or two of quoting is permitted and they must be in quotation marks with a source credit immediately following. Papers not following the above rules are, by definition, plagiarized and will be assigned zero points per the course rule concerning academic integrity.

The paper body will begin with an introduction identifying the article’s primary focus and end with 2 conclusion paragraphs describing how the research methods used might have impacted the research results.

Each article summary will:

Identify the article, the author(s) and the date of publication, both in the body of the paper and in an attached Reference list, and the focus of the research. 

Describe the hypothesis of the study.

Describe how the study was conducted including:

The population that was studied
The methodology used (i.e. naturalistic observation, experiment, case study, survey, etc.)
How the data was collected and analyzed

Describe the results of the study
Discuss concepts, theories, and principles included in the course textbook to show synthesis of what has been learned in the course related to the information in the article reviewed

End with a 2-paragraph conclusion which:

Reviews the way the research was conducted and potential impact on results (e.g. problems with the study methodology that might have affected its validity and/or generalizability).

Describes three future research ideas inspired by the article.

 

What is the strongest and weakest argument this person presents to you? I

 a brief description of the person you chose and your relationship to him or her. Next, describe how he or she strongly influences you and discuss whether this person’s influence travels primarily through the central or peripheral route to persuasion. If central, how does this person motivate and allow you the ability to process the message? What is the strongest and weakest argument this person presents to you? If the route is mostly peripheral, explain why your motivation and/or ability to process the message are low. What positive source cue, heuristic, or other variable accounts for this person’s influence on you? Finally, explain whether this person’s influence on you is/was temporary or long lasting and why

I need: an analysis of the impact of ongoing physical maturation (i.e., pubertal change, brain maturation) on adolescent behavior. Also, post an analysis of the impact of social media on adolescent behavior. Pay particular attention to the danger for risk-taking behavior and how social media may shape the nature of development for teens today. Summarize your post by offering your ideas as to how parents and the larger community can successfully guide adolescents through this time.

 

Looking for a couple paragraphs, or roughly 100-150 words.

Explain which theory of intelligence you find yourself most affiliated with in the context of your professional goals.

/in /by

n this unit, you are introduced to a variety of theories of intelligence, including Spearman’s two-factor theory (1927), Cattell-Horn’s two-factor theory (1966), Luria’s information processing approach (1966), Cattell-Horn and Carroll’s CHC model (1997), and Carroll’s three-stratum theory (1997).

For this discussion:

  • Describe how these theories differ in regard to the ever-reversing role of general intellectual ability factor (g).
  • Explain how these theories are relied upon in each of the following current tests that you also read about in this unit. Please note that some of these tests may now rely on more than one theory, or a theory different than the original versions of the same test. Subsequently, you will need to address such multiple contributions and only for the versions listed below (for example, fifth edition).
    • Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fourth and fifth editions.
    • Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, second edition.
    • Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, fifth edition.
    • Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, third or fourth editions.
  • Explain your thoughts regarding an intelligence test that has a dual theoretical basis, based on your readings and review of the theoretical influences on these tests. Explain your position by including consideration of validity.
  • Explain which theory of intelligence you find yourself most affiliated with in the context of your professional goals. Explain how your selected theoretical model aligns with your interests and career.
