Psychology 2 – Extra Credit Assignment
Due: the last day of class
Assignment:
Research and report on a study, credible report, discovery, or similar work having to do with biological psychology. As long as it relates to something in the field of biological psychology, that should be fine.
Indicate what it is that you are reporting, what about it is important or compelling
(does it increase our knowledge in the area, confirm our understanding, etc…),and
why you chose it to report on.
Explain the process that took place (explain what the experiment was or how researchers figured out what they figured out), what the results were and what conclusions can be taken from the results. Results are usually about data such as
“group 1 scored higher than group 2”. Conclusions are more about explaining what the results mean and how they may direct further research in the area.
Please include a list of references you use in your
report (bibliography).
