23 Feb We are consistently presented with claims about human behavior and mental processes on a near daily basis. It is important that we begin to develop skills required to critically evaluate the
health & medical question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
All the explanation is in the file, also in the second file there are references, and examples as well. pls read all the details in the (Evidence Worksheet). After that, I want the references which you summarized from them.
Requirements: explanation & answer. | .doc file
Please complete this assignment in Canvas, and submit your responses by the deadline. Here’s a word doc version you may work from: PSYC 100 Evidence Worksheet 1
Module 2: Biological Pillar Neuroscience & Consciousness
Assignment: Evaluating the Evidence Worksheet 1 (10 points)
We are consistently presented with claims about human behavior and mental processes on a near daily basis. It is important that we begin to develop skills required to critically evaluate these claims. These critical thinking skills will help us understand what we are being asked to believe, evaluate the evidence supporting claims, and assist us in deciding whether we want to base our own judgements on these claims. Below you will find two claims related to Module 2. Select one and proceed with completing the evidence worksheet.
Claim 1: Most people use 10% of their brain power.
-OR-
Claim 2: Brain training will make you smarter.
1. Collect and read at least two sources of evidence related to your claim (in any direction). WHERE did you find evidence? To get you started, look at the sample articles provided on Canvas (Immediately below this posting in Module 2 On Canvas. Please note, you are not limited to these materials; you may also include other evidence, and provide those references (article/author name.
2. WHAT did the evidence say?
3. What TYPE of evidence was it? Place an X? before the types of evidence you considered.
Something that I or someone else heard (hearsay)
My own or another persons story (anecdote, blog/web posts)
Case study
Survey
Correlational study
Quasi-experimental study
Longitudinal study
Controlled Experimental study
Review or summary of many studies
Other (specify):
4. RATE the strength of the evidence on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the strongest), and EXPLAIN why you gave that rating.
When presented with a claim, it is important to seek out evidence on both sides of the issue to help you draw your own conclusions about the claim in question. Therefore, it is important for us to build the skills necessary to critically analyze sources of information related to claims in psychology. Evidence Worksheet 1 will get us started with developing higher level critical thinking skills by encouraging you to seek out sources on both sides of claims 1 and 2. Select one of the claims and complete Evidence Worksheet 1. The references below can help you get started.
Evidence Worksheet 1: Claim 1 Evidence Examples
Here are some of the sources you are likely to find when you search for information related to Claim 1.?I encourage you to find other sources on your own, and look at the references cited in each source, not just the sources themselves.?Developing the habit of following a chain of sources can help hone your research skills.
