Psychology 311: Assignment 3 – Literature Research & Review

About this Assignment

In Physiological Psychology, you learned about a variety of experiments, theories, and principles that arose from empirical research and observational studies. Researchers in psychology must be able to synthesize and evaluate past research when they are deciding on future research areas. For this assignment, you will write a 2000-word research paper on a specific topic from Physiological Psychology.

The goal of this assignment is for you to present and critique past and current research in physiological psychology. You’ll choose and evaluate at least three separate experiments and then propose and justify future areas of study for the field, discussing how this research would contribute to the discipline.

Prompt

In this assignment, you will review previous experiments, analyze current methods, and suggest future research in one of the fields below. Select a prominent experiment from one of the following fields of physiological psychology for your research paper:

Cognitive bias

Sleep disorders

Memory

Your research paper should include the following sections:

Introduction: state your thesis and rationale, which should explain what direction current and future research should take

Review of relevant literature: summarize, evaluate, and connect at least three previous experiments on this topic

Current research: explain what, if any, research is currently being done on this topic and analyze its validity and potential implications

Future areas of study: present at least two ideas for further research into the topic and discuss how these studies would contribute to the principles of social psychology

References list in APA format. A majority of your sources should be from the last 20 years.

Formatting & Sources

Please write your research paper in APA format. You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use seven sources and cite them using APA format. Please include at least five primary or secondary sources from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal.

Primary sources include peer-reviewed journal articles describing original research and experimentation. They can also be first-hand accounts such as interviews, speeches, statements, and press releases. Secondary sources include reviews or compilations of studies.

Both types of sources can be found in scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Psychology and Brain Studies. You may use sources like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the American Psychological Association to find articles from these journals. Valid sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)

If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA format (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

If you’re unsure about how to use APA format to cite your sources, please see the following lessons:

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
