Homework: A Day in Your Brain
As people go about their day and encounter different situations and experiences, they use various cognitive processes. People often do not recognize that they are using cognitive skills, and do not understand how their brain functioning contributes to their daily life experience. This homework provides insight into the cognitive processes that your brain goes through on a daily basis.
Create a 12 to 15 slides Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to showcase a day in your brain in which you:
A. Outline your typical day, from the time you wake up until you go to sleep.
B. Identify 8 to 10 situations throughout the day when the following cognitive processes occur:
a. Perception
b. Attention
c. Memory
d. Language
e. Reasoning
f. Decision-making
g. Problem-solving
C. Explain how the cognitive processes are used in the situation, and how they help you to adapt in your environment.
Include detailed speaker notes on each slide to use as a transcript of what you would say while presenting. Make sure to use academic material from our course on each and every slide. As a rule of thumb, if you could have written a slide prior to taking the course, the material is not academic enough for a college-level homework.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
