In this assignment you will write an essay about the research methods and ethical implications of a social psychology study. You will get information about the study from one of the entries in the SPARQ Solutions Catalog which is a web site maintained by Stanford University at https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions?&&. SPARQ is an acronym for Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions. Each entry in the Solutions Catalog names a problem and then offers a solution to that problem based on a research study in social psychology.
To keep this assignment short and manageable your only sources for this assignment should be from the SPARQ site and your course materials such as your textbook. There is no need for you to cite any of the course materials. Therefore no additional citations or references are needed beyond those from the SPARQ site.
In this exercise you will choose one of the entries in the SPARC site and then write a two to three (2-3) page paper that meets the following requirements.
Begin your paper with a short introductory statement that clearly identifies the article from the SPARQ site that you are using as well as the corresponding research article. Model your statement after the following example:
The article I selected from the SPARQ website is entitled Boost Grades by Reframing Failures (Wilson n.d.) which summarizes a research article (Wilson & Linville 1982) on the topic.
Please note that there are two APA in-text citations in this example. The first citation (Wilson n.d.) is an in-text citation for the SPARQ article. The SPARQ articles are undated which means that there is no date of publication reported. The n.d. designation is an abbreviation for no date.
The second citation (Wilson & Linville 1982) is an in-text citation to the original research article. We are asking you to cite this paper for practice in using APA but are not requiring you to read the original paper. Normally you should cite only those articles that you actually read and used but were making an exception here for the purposes of practice.
Briefly summarize the main details of your chosen social psychology research study. Identify the main research method(s) used in the study (e.g. case study experiment observation etc.).
Explain whether or not you believe the research methodology that the researchers used in the study was the most appropriate for the study. Provide a rationale for your response.
Discuss whether or not you believe the research methodology used in the study is the one (1) method that provides researchers with the most information in general. Explain the main reasons why or why not.
Explain the major ethical implications of the selected study (e.g. informed consent debriefing etc.). Describe the main reasons why you believe the study was or was not ethical. Provide a rationale for your response.
The final section of your paper will be a reference section that contains a corresponding reference for both of the in-text citations in your introductory statement (see point #1 above). In APA-style citations in-text citations must match up with a reference in the reference section. You can model your reference section after the following:
Wilson T. D. (n.d.). Boost grades by reframing failures. Retrieved from https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions/boost-grades-reframing-failures
Wilson T. D. & Linville P.W. (1982). Improving the academic performance of college freshmen: attribution therapy revisited. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 42(2) 367-376.

Among the prominent types of neural networks studied by cognitivescientists Hopfield networks most closely model the high-degree ofinterconnectedness in neurons of the human cortex. The papers byMcClellan et al. (1995) and Maurer (2005) discuss learning systems inthe human brain-mind system and the role of Hopfield networks as modelsfor actual human learning including sequence of items learned. Thisresonates with Chomsky’s emphasis on the role of syntax and wordsequence in language learning.
1) Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
a) This assignment uses a grading rubric.
b)Include two scholarly resources other than those in theassigned readings with appropriate references and in-text citations.
c) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines foundin the APA Style Guide located in the Student Success Center. Anabstract is not required.
2)Write a paper of 1250-1500 words in which you argue for oragainst the notion that Hopfield networks not only share characteristicsof learning in the brain-mind system but also that they are usefulanalytic tools.
