Goal

The goal for this report is to review course course activites and relate them to the targeted outcomes for the course.

Requirements

Below are the learning outcomes as listed on the course web page:

1. Work with formal representations that describe perception, reasoning or language.
2. Generate predictions from mechanistic models and compare them to human behavior.
3. Describe models based on contrasting theories.
4. Write articles that describe an empirical study, its results and what can be concluded from the study.
5. Present theories and models and explain how well they account for human behavior.
6. Explain how cognitive functions may be realized in terms of the brain's organization or physical mechanisms.
7. Reflect on their own thinking and articulate effective strategies.

For each outcome, present one example that summarizes what you did or studied in the class that addresses the outcome. You may draw upon the readings, projects, disucssions or exercises when presenting the example.

Each response can be successfully addressed with one paragraph, but you may write more if you think it is needed.

Grading

The report will be graded with the following criteria:

• Specificity. Responses clearly identify the example and how it addresses the learning outcome. Clear language distinguishes the example from other readings, exercises or examples. Core cognitive principles or mechanisms are explained with supporting detail. (8 points)
• Accuracy. Responses accurately explain relevant concepts, theories or results. (8 points)
• Presentation. Responses are well structured and easy to understand. They are virtually free of any grammar errors, mispellings or other typing errors. (4 points)

To clearly identify a reading, you may choose to use any common citation method (e.g. APA). A list of references is not needed (I know what they are).

Before the report is due, you may choose any one outcome and email me your response for it. I will provide feedback and indicate what still needs to be addressed for full credit (if anything). Please allow 24 hours for feedback.
