Overview
For Project One, due in Module Six, you will create a brochure describing a cognition clinic for prospective clients. In this milestone, you will select the specialty of your clinic (short-term/working memory, long-term memory, or attention), as well as its target population. Next, you will create an annotated bibliography of sources that provide research on the specific intervention your clinic focuses on. For your annotated bibliography, you will summarize two research report articles: one that is provided, and one that you will locate using Shapiro Library resources.
Prompt
Use the following resources to support your work on this milestone:
- Reading: What Is an Annotated Bibliography?This Shapiro Library resource describes the purpose and characteristics of an annotated bibliography. It also includes examples of annotated bibliographies and a brief video.
- Shapiro Library Research Guide: PsychologyResearch guides are developed by librarians to help you find and locate the information you need for your classes, papers, and projects. This guide is a great resource to help you search for credible sources for your project. Scroll down to the Types of Psychology Sources table to help identify the types of sources you need to complete your milestone. Consider reaching out to a librarian using email address to ask a library-related question.
Select your clinic’s specialty and target population from the Project One Milestone Options PDF document, and choose a provided article as your first primary source. Next, using the Shapiro Library or other sources, identify another primary source to support your brochure. This source should be a primary research report containing an introduction, a description of methods and participants, a result section, and a discussion and conclusion. It should not be a review article, a meta-analysis, or a letter to the editor. Complete your milestone using the Project One Milestone Template Word Document. You must address each of the rubric criteria listed below in about 750 to 1,000 words total.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Select your clinic’s specialty from the options provided and explain why you selected that option.
- Select a target population for your clinic from the options provided and explain why you selected that option.
- Create an annotated bibliography entry for the primary source provided. Sources should be described in your own words for a general audience. Your entry should include a summary of the following:
- The problem addressed
- The methodology, measurements, and sample
- The findings
- Conclusions and limitations of the research design
- Create an annotated bibliography entry for the primary source of your choice. Sources should be described in your own words for a general audience. Your entry should include a summary of the following:
- The problem addressed
- The methodology, measurements, and sample
- The findings
- Conclusions and limitations of the research design
- Compare and contrast the cognitive interventions presented in your articles (at least one intervention per article) and explain why you think they would be effective. Include the following in your comparison:
- The respective strengths of each intervention
- How the articles address your target population. If they do not, what would need to be modified in the intervention?
