LearnDirect Access to Social Science Unit 8 Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

I'm really struggling to grasp what to do. I've never written an Academic Journal and I don't know how.


You are required to write a journal article that demonstrates your understanding of the key models and theories of cognitive psychology.

Within the article you must include an explanation of contrasting psychological models in relation to memory and discuss some of the contrasting research studies in this area.

You will need to carry out a small-scale experiment using one of the memory studies that are outlined in sections 1.1 and 1.2 of your study materials. You should use the outcomes from one of these activities in order to write about your memory experiment.

You must also include discussion that shows how cognitive research has influenced practice in an area of applied psychology. The focus of this section of your article should be Dementia.GUIDANCE

For guidance about layout, structure and style of writing used for journal article you should refer to the study materials in the ‘Academic Writing Skills’ unit.

You will need to use images within your journal article to support your written commentary.

Remember to include the following in your assignment: -
• A name for your journal article
• Relevant subheadings
• Images that support your written commentary
• Write your article in two columns

All sources used within the journal article, including any images or diagrams, must be cited and referenced accordingly. You must submit a references list and bibliography with your journal article.

The journal article should be a maximum of 2,000 words.

When reporting on your small-scale memory experiment you should state:
• What you did
• The materials you used
• The outcomes from your experiment which you then need to display in a table and/or graph format
• Provide a conclusion which includes whether your findings supported the findings from the original study.
An example you could use is the Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) study on the Serial Position Effect.
