Describe the cognitive psychology concept.

This assignment is intended to enhance your ability to connect the course readings, “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 able to discern that you can critique the article/media source in a scholarly way that is related to the 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 we 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 must be depicted in your chosen source.
In your submission, please be sure to 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).
Instead, the summary should be sufficient to demonstrate that you reviewed the article/media source and can convey the most relevant aspects related to cognitive psychology.
Describe the cognitive psychology concept. What does it mean in relation to your article/media source?
How do you see it displayed in the article/media source you chose?
What new information have you learned about cognitive psychology and its portrayal 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 concise summary of the major takeaway points from your exploration of the web with cognitive psychology.
Include a minimum of 5 to 6 pages, not including the required APA formatted required title and reference pages; submit APA style in-text citations throughout the work.
The basic parts of a paper should also be included: 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.
Emotions
William James and Carol Lange developed the Emotional Theory, which states we experience emotions because of biological changes that are experienced due to stress (Theories of Emotion in Psychology). Once this happens, our body changes leaving our mind to recognize a reaction. The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion does not agree with James and Lang’s emotional theory. Rather, Cannon-Bard states that psychological variations and cognitive familiarity essentially transpire simultaneously (Theories of Emotion in Psychology). This occurs as a “result when the thalamus sends a message to the brain in response to a stimulus, resulting in a physiological reaction” (Cherry, 2017, para 2). Think about your own emotions, what examples do you think of when relating to Cannon-Bard theory of emotion?
