Question 1: In this course, you will be submitting a draft of your research prospectus that includes an abbreviated literature review. Since more current research is typically conducted in response to, or as a challenge to, previous seminal research and established theories, why is it important to include the theories that are foundational to your research topic in your dissertation literature review?
Question 2: Research has studied a great deal about how humans process and know information. However, "knowing" and "understanding" are not necessarily the same. Does knowing the sensory neuronal activity that occurs when we hug someone mean that we understand how we transfer meaning to that behavior? Why or why not?
