I need help writing my paper and here are the instructions to my paper:
Cognition in the Media
Cognitive psychology research is
often featured in the mainstream media. For example, a few years ago Oprah
Winfrey featured Dr. Strayer’s research on distractibility during driving when
talking on the cell phone. She then used his research to start a movement that
encouraged individuals to stop talking on the cell phone while driving. This
example demonstrates that psychological research has made its way into the
media to inform the public about how our cognitive processes work.
Using the three examples of
cognitive psychology research featured in the media that you researched
(newspapers, television, and magazines), write a two-page paper for each
resource and explain how it fits with what we know about cognition.
The three examples must be on
different topics. Reference the original articles (or videos, in the case of a
television report).
Include the following topics in
each paper:
• Analyze
the concepts of cognitive psychology (attention, limits, inattention, automatic
processing) present in each resource.
• Describe
how the concepts are used in real-world applications.
Note: You must support your claims with evidence from the text by
including internal citations.
Strive to be as concise as possible
and limit the length of your completed assignment to no more than six pages,
excluding the title page and reference page. Support your statements and
analyses with references and citations from at least three resources.
