Explore the ethics of testing onvulnerable populations. After reviewing the required resources, answerthe questions below. Your initial post should be a minimum of 200 words.When you describe ideas that are not your own, be sure to paraphraseand not use direct quotations.
For your initial post, address the following:
What are some examples of vulnerable populations in cognitive psychology? What makes them vulnerable?
What is an example of a precaution that psychological scientists canuse when testing or applying a new protocol or technology that mighthelp a vulnerable population?
Between the need to help people with cognitive impairments and theneed to patiently accumulate reliable data, where should we draw theline?
What are the dangers of unsupported claims by researchers and themedia in products sold as “helping your memory” or “enhancing yourattention”?
How does the concept of testing on vulnerable populations apply to at least one of the following programmatic course themes?
Self-care
Social justice
Emotional intelligence (EI)
Career connections
Ethics
Scenario
As technology evolves, members of the cognitive science communityseek to better characterize the potential impacts that technology mighthave on our cognitive skills. There have been exciting benefits to theadvances over the past 20 years, but have these same tools also changedthe way we think? Have they changed our capacity to attend and processinformation? As you have learned in previous courses, such as PSY 222(Research Methods) and PSY 260 (Statistical Literacy in Psychology),these sparks of curiosity can turn into research questions, and soon abody of work is producedin this case, one that examines the effects ofinnovation and technology on the cognition of specific populations. Tosuccessfully complete this assignment, you will need to use your dataliteracy skills and analyze the research for what it is and for what itisnt.For this project, due in Module Seven, you will create a technologyand cognition blog post with the goal of educating a general audience,as well as healthcare providers, who are educated but not necessarilyfamiliar with your topic of research. Do your best to summarize yoursources in your own words with a scientific and formal but not overlytechnical tone. As such, do not use quotations in your blog, but be sureto use in-text citations and references appropriately. Building thistype of communication skill will exercise your ability to consumeinformation and will benefit you in any career path you choose.In your Project Two Milestone, which was due in Module Five, youselected a topic and completed an annotated bibliography of currentresearch related to your topic. Be sure to incorporate any instructorfeedback on the analysis of your sources before beginning work on thisproject. You will use all of the primary sources from your milestone tocomplete this project. You must address each of the rubric criterialisted below in about 600 to 900 words total.
Directions
Based on your topic selection and research in your Project Two milestone, create a technology and cognition blog post using the . You must address the rubric criteria listed below in about 600 to 900 words total:
Topic Summary and Theory Background
Describe why research is being done on your selected topic.
Summarize how technology affects cognition for your selected topic.
Describe how a classic theory or concept incognitive psychology applies to your selected topic. Examples includeencoding specificity, levels of processing, late or early selectionmodels, the multiple resources approach to attention, automaticity, andthe dual-route model of language.
Compare and Contrast Primary Research Articles: Toanswer each of the questions below, compare and contrast two of thethree primary sources you identified in your Project Two milestone.Incorporate all three primary sources in your responses.
Compare the use of participants in two primarysources of your choice. Consider how the choice of participants isrelevant to the research or how comparing the participants could informfuture research or different conclusions.
Compare the measures, tests, and research designsused in two primary sources and compare how these measures relate to thespecific domains of cognition mentioned in the articles. Consider howthe research methods used are relevant to the research and how they caninform future research or different conclusions.
Compare the limitations identified in two primarysources of your choice. Consider how the limitations are relevant to theresearch methodology implemented or conclusions drawn. For example,does the methodology in one article use procedures that can be used toinfer causation more precisely and accurately? Does one source have amore representative sample than the other?
Conclusions
Describe your conclusions about your selected topic based on the research you have analyzed.
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:Technology and Cognition Blog Post
Submit your completed Project Two Template. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
QUESTION 3: From your personal perspective and what you learned from this weeks reading, answer the following questions:
What should children with severe or multiple disabilities be taught?
Where should they be taught, and who should be involved?
Is inclusion effective, and if so, how could this be accomplished?
Provide specific examples to support your thinking.
QUESTION 4: Review the module resources. Using what you havelearned, write a 2-page APA-formatted paper using the following asyour guide.
Afterreviewing the module resources, provide your own perspectives regardingthe factors that parents of children with hearing impairments shouldconsider when deciding between American Sign Language (ASL) and cochlearimplants as communication options.
How might this decision impact the childrens education and their acceptance in the deaf community?
What factors need to be taken into account when considering different communication methods?
