For the final project, you will locate a recent (within the last few years) article in a newspaper or magazine that
discusses one or more of the cognitive psychology concepts that we have covered over the course of the term.
You can find examples of appropriate articles by going to the Optional Readings tab in the menu on the left. A
great place to find appropriate news articles is the NY Times Science Times section (available every Tuesday)
or Science Daily.
Papers should be approximately 5-7 pages in length, 12 point font, and double spaced. Use direct quotes
sparingly and do not use direct quotes that are longer than one sentence. References must be formatted
according to the APA.
All papers must include the following:
1) Summary of the article in your own words. Include the title of the article and where it came from.
2) Detailed analysis of the cognitive psychology concepts discussed in the article. Make sure to refer to the
textbook and/or other course concepts when discussing the theory. You must also locate at least two peerreviewed scholarly articles or book chapters (beyond the text book) and integrate these into your paper.
3) Implications of the research discussed in the article. You may wish to discuss why the topic is of importance,
future directions of research, contribution to knowledge in the field, and/or implications for social policy.
4) Conclusion
