enhance your ability to make connections between the course readings and “real-life” situations and the everyday occurrence of cognitive processes as depicted in popular media and professional research sources. This is your opportunity to express your thoughts succinctly and coherently.  Be creative, but ensure that the reader is to able to discern that you can critique the article/media source in a scholarly way as related to course material. This is a great launching point as you begin brainstorming for the Week 7 Creative Project. Assignment Instructions For this assignment, you are tasked with identifying a research article or reliable, popular media source (news segment, blog article, etc.) that focuses on a topic related to cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, of a specific process or function of these area have addressed in the first three weeks of the course.  Upon identifying your select media option, you will draft a 5 to 6-page reflection paper, summarizing the media sources’ topic, and its relevance to our understanding of cognition and learning.  Any topic discussed in our readings is fair game, but needs to be clearly depicted in the source you chose. In your submission, please be sure to clearly address the following topics: Briefly describe the article/media source you selected (e.g. its plot, characters, themes, etc.).   This description does not need to be lengthy (the entire plot or process explained does not need to be explained; hit the high points). Rather, the summary should be sufficient to demonstrate that you reviewed the article/media source and can convey the most relevant aspects as they relate to cognitive psychology. Describe the cognitive psychology concept.   What does it mean in relation to your article/media source?  How you see it displayed in the article/media source you chose? What new information have you learned about cognitive psychology and how it is portrayed in the public eye? Does the information portrayed in the article have broader implications for the field of cognitive psychology as it is presented?  Why or why not, and what might the effects be with changes or remaining the same? Close your work with a brief, but succinct summary of the major take away points from your exploration around the web with cognitive psychology. Include a minimum 5 to 6 pages, not including the required APA formatted required title and reference pages; submit APA style in-text citations throughout the work as well.  The basic parts of a paper should also be included; these are the opening, introduction section, with a precise thesis statement, the body of the paper with clear, discernable headings where appropriate, and a conclusion that restates the thesis and summarizes the major points of the entire paper. https://apus.brightspace.com/shared/elf/psyc303/le...

Week 1 Topic:"FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APPOCALYPSE"Gottman (1999) identifies the "four horsemen of the apocalypse" (Hocker and Wilmot, pages 22-28). When these behaviors are present in a relationship, the end is near. Discuss how you have seen these used in relationships. How have you felt when these were used on you? Which of these behaviors do you use, with whom do you use these and in what circumstances? Can you think of ways that you could communicate more honestly and constructively? In your responses to other students you will want to be sure to share research, speak for yourself and share your own experiences. Do not use any of these horsemen in your discussions!. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting. There will be a deduction of 20 points for failure to cite a source within your initial post and to provide a reference at the end of your initial post. 3. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words
