Movie Analysis: 40 points. On Thursday 11/19 by midnight, you will post an analysis of cognitive principles applied to a major motion picture. Papers will be docked 3 points for each day late. This analysis should be at least 6 pages long, double-spaced, free of spelling and grammar errors and in APA format. First choose a major motion picture (most comedies and dramas would work; most action or horror movies would not) and watch it. Make sure the film is available on internet platforms so I can watch it. Then address the following cognitive issues that apply to your film, citing the lecture notes and the text, using specific scenes from the film to support your arguments:
Describe, in detail, the “sins” of memory depicted in the film (transcience, absentmindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias and persistence).
Describe, in detail, examples of picture memory, flashbulb memory, relational processing, the environmental-congruence effect, the mood-congruence effect and state-dependent learning depicted in the film.
All films tell the story of a crisis that is usually resolved, at least partially, after the climax of the film. Regarding this crisis, describe, in detail, cognitive concepts related to eyewitness testimony. Discuss reconstructive retrieval, selective encoding, the misinformation effect, implanted memories and trauma-induced amnesia.
Regarding the crisis in the film, discuss how the characters address it. Do they use directed thinking or undirected thinking? Reproductive thinking or productive thinking? Is the problem the characters experience well-defined or ill-defined?
What problem-solving strategies do the characters show? Examples include algorithms, heuristics, working backward, analogies, means-end analyses. Provide illustrations of the characters’ domain-specific knowledge and metacognition used to solve the problem.
Discuss, in detail, how the characters make decisions under uncertainty. Provide examples of creativity, risk-aversion, the representative heuristic, the availability heuristic, the hindsight bias and base-rate fallacy.
I will grade your Movie Analysis based on the following rubric: a) is the paper free of grammar/spelling errors? is the paper organized well, with clear arguments and transitions? b) did the student clearly and completely address all six of the questions above? c) did the student go into enough detail, citing specific scenes from the film to illustrate the cognitive concepts comprehensively in at least 6 pages (no maximum)?
