1. PowerPoint Presentation
The goal of the presentation is to demonstrate your understating
of the fundamental role of learning and cognition in numerous
processes and functions including perception, pattern

examine the concepts of cognition and learning that are of
greatest interest to you, with the course content as a guide.
Drawing on your knowledge of course concepts,
identify a topic of interest related to cognitive psychology
.
Examples of topics
one might consider include learning disabilities, autism
spectrum disorder, emotional regulation, memory enhancement,
or learning a language.

concept(s) introduced the course.
In your presentation, include the following elements:
· Identify, describe, define, and discuss, with detail, the
selected topic related to a cognitive psychology concept.

relevance of the topic on its own and its connection to cognitive
psychology should be established early and effectually in the
work.

2. o Note the topic’s relation to cognitive psychology, discussing
the major functions/processes involved.
§ This may include multiple structures of the brain, functions,
and processes of cognition; be thorough and inclusive.
· In the discussion, identify whether the topic is an occurrence
of normal or abnormal cognitive functions/processes and how
these functions/processes may be enhanced or impeded.
· Provide clear definitions and/or explanations for the cognitive
psychology concepts included within the work as links to the
selected topic are made.
· Close your work with the major take away points of the
presentation.
· Include appropriate attributions to sources for photographic,
artistic, and/or graphic depictions displayed within the
presentation.
In developing your work, be sure to rely upon academic,
scholarly sources to support the information included. Scholarly
sources should be cited both in-text and on the reference slide
of the submission. A minimum of three (3) academic, scholarly
sources are required to be cited in the work.
Work should be submitted in a PowerPoint file or other
compatible file, and be at least 20 slides in length, excluding
the required title slide and separate reference slide. Detailed
