Please consider the following prompt and craft a response that sufficiently captures all aspects of it from your unique point of view and original research. Please cite and reference any source(s) you use to help write this response in APA format. Notice that in addition to your Main Entry post, you will need to offer two substantive classmate response posts to complete this exercise. See below instructions that will guide your peer engagement thinking/posting. See syllabus or course calendar for due dates for both main entry posts and peer engagement.
Main Entry: Parts 1 and 2
Part 1: Memory, Learning, Cognition
This week, we’ll take the four questions approach to discussing what we learned: Analyze, reflect, apply, and question.
a.
Analyze: Upon reading/viewing this week’s learning resources on the topic of memory, learning, and cognition, what stood out to you that you found most interesting, important, surprising, or personally resonant? In answering this, direct us to where we can find that information in the Learning resources, so we can read more and join you in your discussion.
b.
Reflect: What about it was surprising for you or in what way did it strike a chord for you? (Be specific and authentic to your unique situation.)
c.
Apply: What evidence of this finding/topic/fact do you see at work in your day-to-day life? How does it affect you or those you care about?
d.
Question: What questions are you left with after learning about how our biological processes work to help us think, learn, remember, critically think, and solve complex problems?
Part 2: Clinical Applications
Do some research in the Google Scholar and locate and read full text clinical research study published since 2021 that bears on the topic of enhancing memory, learning, or other cognitive capability you are particularly interested in – whether through medication or behavioral intervention. When searching, it may be helpful to use the keyword phrase “clinical trial” along with the cognitive function you are interested in.
a. Cite and reference the article in APA format and provide a very brief summary of the findings (try to capture it in 3 sentences).
b. From your perspective, what are the implications of these findings and how might you use this information moving forward in your own life, work, or career outlook?
Peer Engagement:
Remember to circle back and substantively respond to two classmates by the due date specified in the syllabus. Your peer engagement posts must go beyond summarizing and praising. To aid you in this endeavor,
incorporate one or more of the following lines of thinking in your peer engagement posts, ensuring both a hearty, meaningful conversation and that your work meets criteria for substance and depth:
