my topic is on TOPIC: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF ADDICTIONGrading (100 points total)
Allocation of Points Introduction and background: (15 points)In this section you must provide an overview of seminal literature in the field you are researching. At least two empirical citations are required, and you need to present clear definition of new topics. For example, let’s say you are presenting on memory. In that case you will need a definition of memory and how it relates to the research question and hypothesis.
Expect 2-4 slides
The last slide of your introduction should be one with your research question and hypothesis
Method: (15 points)In this section you are providing enough information so that we can follow your logic. If we had the resources, we should be able to actually conduct the study you are proposing.
Use the smart art feature in ppt to develop a visual schematic of your design. Remember you design must be a 2 x 2- that is, two independent variables and each must have at least two levels. If you are using a subject variable, then you will have a mixed 2×2 since you are not going to manipulate.
Dependent variables must be explained in enough detail so that we understand what you are measuring.
This section should include at least one citation
Results: (15 points)Consider separating each predictive finding into a table or figure and using one graphic display per slide.
This section should include at least one citation
Conclusions/Questions: (15 points)The conclusion is where you get to be extra creative and dream big! In this section you should explain what you think the predictive findings are helpful to field.
This section should answer:Why should we care about your ideas? How will they help scientists working in this field?
Why is this important to you, your group, the class, the field at large?
What critical question does this information
How did this process help you better understand the topic at hand?
What is a future direction in the field?
What unanswered questions do you all have?
Tells a story (flow): 10 points
Visual Presentation: 10 points Spoken Presentation: 10 points
Ability to answer questions: 10 points
Guidelines on Presentation
Read your papers very carefully, several times. You will likely need to do some background reading from the textbook, and you may need to look up some terms in the glossary or a medical dictionary.
You should become the expert on your articles (the ones cited in your presentation)- you should know the details in it as if you wrote it yourself. We do not expect (or want) you to give us all the details in your presentation, however, if I ask you a question about the details, you should know them.
Plan your presentation to last no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Prepare your presentation in PowerPoint (or alternative). Use color and graphics as well, but don’t make your slides too busy – we don’t want to be distracted from your content. Your presentation should tell a story. It should include necessary background information, the research question, methods, results, and conclusions. End with some questions. These could be questions you have that the paper didn’t answer, new questions that are raised by the research, problems that you identified with the study, or general discussion questions.
Methods are very important. Present (or know) enough detail so that your audience clearly understands what was done. One way to do this is to pretend that we are subjects and demonstrate the procedures as much as possible. A phrase I like to hear is “If you were a subject in this experiment, you would…”. This “experiential” approach also makes your presentation more interesting for your audience.
Results are also very important. Present your predictive results in a way that is easy for your audience to grasp – often this will be done with a graph or table. When you show us a graph or a table, use your fingers (or a pointer) to show us what is interesting about it, which points you want us to compare, and explain to use what the data tell us.
Expect questions and interruptions. It is ok to say that you don’t know the answer to a question (I do it all the time).
Practice your presentation. Maintain eye contact; speak clearly and loudly enough for us to hear you. You will not be allowed to read from notes, but I will let you use cue cards if needed (not recommended). Often your slides can act as cue cards as well.

Hi, I have already the ethical part ready and I need some help with the corerctions but it’s almost approved. I need help with the rest of dissertation writing. I will also do the interviews and provide the transcripts. The feedback I attach on the ethical are my tutor’s but I have made most of the corrections. You need to check please and let me what you think. Next thing to focus on is the literature review and I will be guiding you on how to write this project. It has different parts and deadlines and the writer needs to follow up and cooperate with me during the process. 
Thank you!

Select a “hot topic” of cognitive psychology based on what you have heard and/or seen in the media and your personal interests.
Look for a report in the media (e.g., newspapers, magazines, web pages of professional organizations, etc.) that refers to the selected topic such as “defendant cannot remember what happened,” “false memories explain UFO abduction stories,” and so forth.
Describe the content of the selected report and offer your own perspective. Namely, use your critical-thinking skills to examine the extent to which the claims made in the report and the evidence upon which the report relies are to be trusted. Then, discuss the real-life consequences of the evidence reported.
In your post, include a link to the selected report, and explain to the members of the class why you have selected it.
The goal of this discussion forum is to offer you an introduction to the field of cognitive psychology. Cognitive psychology is a discipline within psychology that is concerned with the scientific study of the human mind. The mind is responsible for a variety of functions and abilities, including perception, attention, consciousness, memory, reasoning, and decision-making. Most of our mental life is unconscious. If the objects of our attention are equated to the objects of our consciousness, it is reasonable to assume that we are aware of only a limited number of events in our daily lives.

This is assignment is an outline. I have chosen the topic Building high performing team. Attached is the 2 files the first file is an assignment I did about this topic last week and the second file is the prompt. You must create an outline and use scholarly sources

The Human Factors team for which you work has designed a new visual display for a helicopter cockpit. However, the results from the simulator are not good. Nearly all pilots have encountered problems when trying to find information and perform tasks. Do you think your Human Factors team should use a working-forward or working-backward heuristic to evaluate the design platform? Why or why not?
Lauren is a computer programmer and is unable to find the bug in a program she just wrote. What could she be doing that is preventing her from finding the bug? Could mental sets, functional fixedness, and negative transfer be playing a role? How?
Have you experienced the benefits of incubation in solving a problem? Explain with an example. Which of the five mechanisms of incubation do you think best captures your experience? How?

Please review all six videos.  Then, write a total of 3 pages (double spaced, 12-point font, 1 inch margins) describing what you watched and heard and relate the information to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, 5th Edition) diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder.  You should be able to find a significant amount of information on the internet and/or articles that discuss the DSM-5 diagnostic criterial for Autism Spectrum Disorder.  As this is such a short paper with much to cover, please do not list all of the DSM-5 criteria as a part of this paper.  Instead, make reference to the DSM-5 criteria in the content and with the use of citations.
You will need to submit your assignment to me electronically as a .doc or .docx file. Please do not send your assignment to my e-mail account. I will not read it or grade it.  It will only be read and grade the paper when submitted through the Canvas system.  This paper will be graded using the rubric in Appendix D of your syllabus. It is important that you review the rubric prior to watching the videos and writing your paper.
Your paper will be checked using TurnItIn SimCheck.  TurnItIn SimCheck checks your work against other student papers from current and prior courses to determine similarities.
