Your paper should be at least 1500 words. In your paper you are to apply a certain area of psychological theory or research (e.g., research on brain injuries and behavior) to you own life and life experiences. For example, you might attempt to explain a real-life event in your life (how you developed a fear of snakes) using principles of classical conditioning (i.e., As an infant two snakes tried to kill you). You must choose a topic listed below (please do not ask about alternate topics). Get help with your writing! Ask friends to read your paper, send it to the ACE center for help, just do something to make your paper better for me. Please.
The Topics:
1. My Experience with Brain Injuries and Their Psychological Consequences. This paper should describe your personal experience with a brain injury â for example, your grandfatherâs stroke or your friendâs brain injury after a car accident.The goal is to describe the brain injury and its psychological and behavioral consequences.Incorporate findings of psychological research on the brain, its function, and the effects of injuries to parts of the brain such as language centers, the frontal lobe, the cerebellum, the right versus left hemisphere, etc.
2. My (Airplane/dog/spider/height/whatever) Phobia: How Classical Conditioning Helps Explain My Fear. This paper should describe a strong fear or phobia you have. Analyze the origins of your fear and try to explain it in terms of classical conditioning. This paper should include a brief description of classical conditioning and the major terms used in classical conditioning (e.g., CS, US, CR, and UR, generalization), and it should apply these terms and concepts to your example. Do you think classical conditioning provides a complete explanation for your fear? Does classical conditioning theory suggest ways you might reduce your fear?
3. My Experience with Intelligence Tests. Describe a real-life example of when you or another person (a brother, sister, or a friend) took an intelligence test (at school, for a job application). Do you think the test was fair? What does it mean for such a test to be âfairâ? Was the person who took the test misclassified (e.g., as âretardedâ or not very bright) as a result of the score he or she received? Did the test results lead to a destructive âself-fulfilling prophecyâ that influenced the person — for example, the results influenced teachersâ behavior toward the person or undermined the personâs self-esteem an led him or her not to work hard in school? Can intelligence test results sometimes have positive effects â e.g., leading teachers to provide more challenging instruction to âgiftedâ students? How much do you think people are âborn withâ their levels of intelligence, and how much do you think intelligence is affected by peopleâs environments? Do intelligence tests measure âinnateâ intelligence, or do they measure the effects of the personâs environment (e.g., whether or not you grew up in a disadvantaged neighborhood). Relate your personal account to research on intelligence and theories of intelligence, and briefly describe the history of intelligence testing.
4. Applying Memory Research to Studying. How do you study for school and for tests? Can you apply research and theory on memory (e.g., research on mnemonics, state-dependent memory, order effects, chunking of learned materials) to your study habits? Have you unknowingly already used certain memory principles when you studied in the past? Can memory research help you to study more effectively in the future? Give examples of memory principles you have used when studying and learning material in various classes.Your paper should be at least 1500 words. In your paper you are to apply a certain area of psychological theory or research (e.g., research on brain injuries and behavior) to you own life and life experiences.

The Topics:
1. My Experience with Brain Injuries and Their Psychological Consequences. This paper should describe your personal experience with a brain injury â for example, your grandfatherâs stroke or your friendâs brain injury after a car accident.The goal is to describe the brain injury and its psychological and behavioral consequences.Incorporate findings of psychological research on the brain, its function, and the effects of injuries to parts of the brain such as language centers, the frontal lobe, the cerebellum, the right versus left hemisphere, etc.
2. My (Airplane/dog/spider/height/whatever) Phobia: How Classical Conditioning Helps Explain My Fear. This paper should describe a strong fear or phobia you have. Analyze the origins of your fear and try to explain it in terms of classical conditioning. This paper should include a brief description of classical conditioning and the major terms used in classical conditioning (e.g., CS, US, CR, and UR, generalization), and it should apply these terms and concepts to your example. Do you think classical conditioning provides a complete explanation for your fear? Does classical conditioning theory suggest ways you might reduce your fear?
3. My Experience with Intelligence Tests. Describe a real-life example of when you or another person (a brother, sister, or a friend) took an intelligence test (at school, for a job application). Do you think the test was fair? What does it mean for such a test to be âfairâ? Was the person who took the test misclassified (e.g., as âretardedâ or not very bright) as a result of the score he or she received? Did the test results lead to a destructive âself-fulfilling prophecyâ that influenced the person — for example, the results influenced teachersâ behavior toward the person or undermined the personâs self-esteem an led him or her not to work hard in school? Can intelligence test results sometimes have positive effects â e.g., leading teachers to provide more challenging instruction to âgiftedâ students? How much do you think people are âborn withâ their levels of intelligence, and how much do you think intelligence is affected by peopleâs environments? Do intelligence tests measure âinnateâ intelligence, or do they measure the effects of the personâs environment (e.g., whether or not you grew up in a disadvantaged neighborhood). Relate your personal account to research on intelligence and theories of intelligence, and briefly describe the history of intelligence testing.
4. Applying Memory Research to Studying. How do you study for school and for tests? Can you apply research and theory on memory (e.g., research on mnemonics, state-dependent memory, order effects, chunking of learned materials) to your study habits? Have you unknowingly already used certain memory principles when you studied in the past? Can memory research help you to study more effectively in the future? Give examples of memory principles you have used when studying and learning material in various classes.
