Overview Your Cognitive Psychology Theories Evaluation is a multipart assessment. Part 1: Memory PowerPoint is a presentation of approximately 17 slides in which you compare and contrast memory types. Part 2: Cognitive Psychology: Theories of Language and Intelligence is a 13- to 17-page, two-section analysis paper. In this paper, Section 1, “Cognitive Psychology: Theories of Language,” consists of the first 8–10 pages in which you use language to explain the basics of cognitive psychology. Section 2, “Cognitive Psychology: Intelligence Case Study,” consists of the next 5–7 pages in which you apply different theories of intelligence to an applied setting and make recommendations on how to enhance the intelligence in that setting. Submission Length: 17 slides in a Memory PowerPoint presentation and a 13- to 17-page analysis paper addressing theories of language and intelligence. Professional Skills: Written Communication, Information Literacy, and Engaging Multiple Social and Cultural Perspectives are assessed in this Competency. Instructions To complete this Assessment, do the following: Review the criteria provided in the rubric. Adhere to the required assignment length. Download the PowerPoint template available here.

Rubric All submissions must follow the conventions of scholarly writing. Properly formatted APA citations and references must be provided where appropriate. Submissions that do not meet these expectations will be returned without scoring. This Assessment requires submission of two (2) files: (1) Memory PowerPoint presentation and (2) Cognitive Psychology: Theories of Language and Intelligence paper. Save these files as follows: Memory PowerPoint presentation: save as CA001_powerpoint_firstinitial_lastname (e.g., CA001_powerpoint_J_Smith) Cognitive Psychology: Theories of Language and Intelligence paper: save as CA001_paper_firstinitial_lastname (e.g., CA001_paper_J_Smith) You may submit a draft of your assignment to the Turnitin Draft Check area to check for authenticity.

Cognitive Psychology Theories Evaluation To prepare for this Competency Assessment: Review the resources in the Learning Activities found throughout this Competency. Download and review the Memory PowerPoint template. Click each of the items below for more information on this Assessment. PART 1: MEMORY POWERPOINT (17 SLIDES) Many types of memory are discussed in your Learning Activity resources (e.g., semantic, procedural, episodic, implicit, explicit, declarative, nondeclarative). For your Memory PowerPoint presentation: Identify 3 pairs of memory types you will compare and contrast in the presentation (e.g., one pair of memory types you compare and contrast might be semantic memory and procedural memory). Evaluate each pair of memory types by defining them and explaining their similarities, differences, and where they interact. Each of your 6 memory types must be supported by 1 unique scholarly resource from the Walden Library. You may use a memory type more than once in your 3 pairs; however, duplicated memory types will each need to have a unique resource. At the bottom of each slide of the PowerPoint template is a Notes area. In the Notes area of each slide, you must include your notes and/or the talking points you would cover for each slide if conducting the presentation for an audience. Your Memory PowerPoint presentation should include the following in the provided PowerPoint template: Title Slide (1 Slide) Introduction (1 slide) Of the types of memory discussed in your Learning Activity resources, identify 3 pairs of memory types you will compare and contrast in the presentation. Memory Types Evaluation (4 slides per pair, 12 slides total) Define the memory types for each pair (1 slide). Explain the differences between each pair (1 slide per pair). Explain the similarities between each pair (1 slide per pair). Explain where the two memory types interact (1 slide per pair). References (3 slides) Support your evaluation with 1 unique scholarly source from the Walden Library for each of the 6 memory types you identify. (Note: If you use a memory type more than once, you must identify a unique source for each. There should be a total of 6 unique resources cited in APA format for this section of the PowerPoint presentation.) PART 2: COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: THEORIES OF LANGUAGE AND INTELLIGENCE (13–17 PAGES IN ADDITION TO TITLE PAGE AND REFERENCES) Section 1: Cognitive Psychology: Theories of Language (8–10 pages) Contrast the approaches to language acquisition between behaviorist B. F. Skinner and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky (e.g., language acquisition device (LAD), transformational grammar). Contrast the strong version and the weak version of the linguistic relativity hypothesis. In a brief summary, explain the relationship between language and reading. Be specific, provide examples, and justify your response with citations from the resources in your Learning Activities or from your search of the Walden Library. Section 2: Cognitive Psychology: Intelligence Case Study (5–7 pages) Identify one form of intelligence talked about in the Learning Activity resources and describe how you see the intelligence being manifested in an applied setting of your choosing (e.g., classroom setting, health care setting, human resources setting). Describe evidence-based recommendations you believe will enhance the intelligence in your chosen setting. Be specific, provide examples, and justify your response with citations from the resources in your Learning Activities or from your search of the Walden Library.
