Imagine that you are now a professional psychologist, working in the specialization that you aspire to. You are charged with creating professional development for an interdisciplinary team of professionals in your workplace, on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices of cognitive and affective psychology can be used to help people in your work context.

In this unit you will create a PowerPoint presentation focused on these topics:

  • Perception.
  • Consciousness.
  • Attention.

Assignment Instructions

  • Download and use the "Presentation Template" linked in the resources. Do not submit a paper for this assignment. Papers will not be graded. You will complete this assignment by replacing all language that is enclosed with brackets […] in the PowerPoint with your own words.
    • For guidance in the basics of using PowerPoint, see "Basic Tasks in PowerPoint" guides in the resources. If after reviewing this material, you need more help using PowerPoint, contact your instructor—seek help early!
      • If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in these activities, please contact Disability Services to request accommodations.
    • The number of words on each slide should be cut to the bare minimum without losing meaning. Instead of crowding slides with words, it is better to use more slides. Think of the entries on the slide as headings—in an actual presentation, the presenter would deliver details and supporting information verbally. All details and supporting information should be entered in the Notes area below the slides.
      • You may wish to enhance the design of the presentation to make it more effective. For guidance on PowerPoint design, read the optional resource, "PowerPoint Presentation Design Suggestions," and view "Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations."
      • If you feel that any aspect of the Presentation Template can be improved, you are encouraged to design your presentation as you see fit, as long as the required information is complete, clear, and well organized.
    • Remember, your presentation is for an interdisciplinary team, so it will be important to communicate in a manner that can understood by a those not trained in psychology. Plain language definitions of psychological terms used in the presentation should be included in the notes section.
    • Remember to cite references, just as you would in a written assignment.
  • Title slide: On the first slide of the PowerPoint:
    • Enter a descriptive title of approximately 5–15 words. It should stir interest while maintaining professional decorum.
    • Professional Development for [enter the type of institutional context your presentation is designed for.]
    • Your name.
    • Your Specialization.
    • Course number and title. Capella University.
    • Instructor's name.

Note: If this presentation was made in an actual professional context, the entries under your name would be replaced by your job title, the name of your organization and perhaps your contact information.

  • Topic Introduction slides: Each of the three topics will be presented in a separate section that begins with a slide naming the topic and concisely introduces it.
  • Theoretical Background slides: Use one or more slides to briefly analyze the origins and evolution of each theory that you will reference in relation to this topic.
  • Application slides: Copy slides as needed to explain how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices related to the topic can be used to explain behavior and help people. Remember, these factors should be relevant to the context your presentation is designed for. For each of these:
    • Analyze how, and to what extent, brain physiology and/or neuroscience can provide explanation of relevant phenomena.
    • Analyze how affect may impact cognitive performance in this area.
    • Explain how culturally diversity should be taken into account in relation to at least one of the topics in your presentation.
  • Conclusion slide: End with a succinct statement that sums up the utility of what you have presented.
