Description Brain Development and Functioning (worth 30 points) Learning Objective 3a, 5a, 5b, and 5c *Please note:* This discussion forum is “post first.” In other words, you will not see the posts of your classmates until after you post. Step 1: To inspire your thinking process and curiosity, select and watch at least one of the following Ted Talks: • Neuroscientist Sabine Doebel explains our brain’s executive functioning: How Your Brain‘s Executive Functioning Works and How to Improve it (webpage, opens in a new tab). • Kashfia Rahman discusses how she, as a curious student, explored risk-taking in the adolescent brain: How Risk-taking Changes a Teenager’s Brain (webpage, opens in a new tab). • Neuroscientist Sarah-Jane Blackburn explains how the adolescent brain functions: Mysterious Functioning of the Adolescent Brain (webpage, opens in a new tab). Step 2: Identify an aspect of brain functioning that compels you. It can be inspired from one of the above Ted Talks, or it can be of your own interest. For example: • What are strategies to improve executive functioning of the brain? • Does habituation actually change brain functioning to increase risk-taking behavior in an adolescent? • What pathways in the brain are associated with risk taking behavior and reward? • How does the prefrontal cortex of an adolescent differ from the prefrontal cortex of an adult’s brain? Step 3: Search the academic literature to identify a research article that addresses (at least to some extent) the aspect of brain functioning you identified in Step 2. The article needs to be from an academic journal. Use one of the following resources to help you locate an academic article. • You can search the following: Monitor on Psychology (webpage, opens in a new tab). Monitor on Psychology is reader friendly and has thousands of articles. • Another option is to search SPC’s online library at the following link: http://www.spcollege.edu/current-students/learning… (webpage, opens in a new tab). • You can also search Google Scholar (webpage, opens in a new tab). Google Scholar only provides an abstract, which is a summary. After you locate an abstract on Google Scholar, you will need to locate the full article on SPC’s LibraryOnline (webpage, opens in a new tab). Read the academic article you selected. Step 4: Compose an APA citation for the article you selected. Use the following as a guide: Kemps, E., Tiggermann, M., Orr, J., & Grear, J. (2014). Attentional retraining can reduce chocolate consumption. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 20(1), 94-102. https://doi-org.db24.linccweb.org/10.1037/xap00000… Author(s) last name, first initial(s). (Year). Title of the article with only the first word capitalized. Title of Journal, Volume of Journal(issue number), page numbers. https://DOI The following link from Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) explains the required parts of an APA citation for academic articles: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/a… (webpage, opens in a new tab). Step 5: Create a post that includes the following: • First, state the aspect of brain functioning that compels you. • In your own words, write a summary of the article you selected. In your summary, identify and explain what you learned in relation to brain functioning. • Lastly, include the APA citation for the article you selected and also the hyperlink (the full url) to the article you selected. Step 6: Compose a reply to a classmate’s post by returning to the academic literature and selecting an article different from the one selected by your classmate and different from the one you used in your post. Create a reply that includes the following: • In your own words, write a summary of the article that explains what you learned from the article you selected that relates to the aspect of brain functioning identified by your classmate. • Include the APA citation for the article you selected and also the hyperlink (the full url) to the article you selected. Step 7: Review the grading rubric (webpage, opens in new tab), which explains the expectations for your post and reply. Step 8: After the posts and replies are graded, please access your rubric and feedback. The steps to do so are explained here: http://mycoursessupport.spcollege.edu/discussion-r… (webpage, opens in new tab).
