Assessment 2 Instructions: Literature Review
Write a 4-5 page literature review that synthesizes the sources you found related to your research question.
Complete the following in your assessment template:
INTRODUCTION
State your research question and explain how it relates to your specialization and professional interests.
OVERVIEW
For this assessment, you will write a literature review. Now that you have found resources related to your research question, the next step is to look further into how they relate to each other and shed light on your research question. Not only will you be writing literature reviews in some of your future courses at Capella, but these skills will also help you in your future career in whatever specialization you pursue. For example, as an addictions counselor, you might need to develop a treatment plan that is suited to a particular situation. You will need to turn to the literature to understand what is known and what is not about that situation. Using critical thinking skills, you can find themes and determine what course of action your treatment plan should take. Behavior analysts also rely on the literature to determine evidence-based practices when assessing, setting goals, and developing support plans for clients and students.
SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE INTO A COHESIVE REVIEW
Identify at least three key themes, or focuses of inquiry, that are relevant to your research question and present in each article. These themes may be based on:
Related aspects of research questions.
Related or differing conclusions.
Other factors or ideas the studies have in common.
Other points of contrast between the studies.
Use concise formulations of these themes as headings for the next sections of the paper. In these sections, compare and contrast your resources’ positions relative to each theme, and then synthesize your own position relative to the theme. Support your conclusions by citing your references.
Assessment 3: Your Career in Psychology

Assessment 6 Instructions: Current Debate in Learning Theory
Write a 5-7 page analysis on a featured debate on learning theory. You will explore how the evolution of learning theories and neuroscience has shaped a current learning controversy.
INSTRUCTIONS
In this assessment, you will explore how the evolution of learning theories and neuroscience has shaped a current learning debate.
Select one of the following learning topics:
Multiple intelligences.
Learning styles.
Brain hemisphere dominance (left versus right brain).
The Mozart effect.
Homework is essential for learning.
The use of technology and “screens” in learning.
Learning happens best in a school.
Research the historical approaches for the learning controversy and how this issue is currently being debated.
Looking at this learning controversy through the lens of learning theories and neuroscience, identify what has changed or been discovered.
Analyze the multiple perspectives of the selected theoretical concept.
Present arguments on both sides of the debate—both for and against the idea.
Assess the effect of the selected theoretical concept on your area of specialization.
To complete this assessment, you will need to do the following:
Evaluate multiple perspectives on both sides of the selected theoretical concept.
Present the arguments from both sides of the debate.
Discuss the current state of the debate in the field.
Assess the quality of available research being used to support a current debate in learning theory.
Examine the nature of the research that is being used by each side of the debate.
Determine the quality of this research by determining if the articles are theoretical in nature, are opinions, or are quality academic research.
Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.
Exhibit adherence to stylistic conventions, document structure, and source attributions.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Written communication: Write coherently to support central ideas, in appropriate APA format, and with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Length: 4–5 pages (not counting your title page or references), double-spaced.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 points.
Number of references: Minimum of five references.
Article distinctions: There are three different types of articles. Research articles present original research, review articles discuss research already presented elsewhere, and survey articles are comprehensive review articles that discuss an entire field or area of research. References to books are acceptable, but these references should be kept to a minimum—preferably, use no more than five book references.
APA style: References and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards. Refer to Evidence and APA. You may also use the APA Paper Template [DOCX].
Style: Write in the third person as an impartial narrator. Avoid the use of I, we, or you. In particular, avoid phrases such as “I think” in favor of phrases such as “the evidence suggests” or “research indicates.” In science, personal opinion carries no weight unless supported by a combination of empirical research and statistical or logical-mathematical inference.
Other notes: Avoid long quoted passages from your source texts. Your writing should synthesize your own ideas, in your own words—even if your ideas refer to the original ideas of others, in which case the references should be explicit. Graduate-level writing should be scholarly and more than a mere summary. It should present a unique thesis or at least a significant point you are trying to make, adding appreciably to what is already known of your topic. Your point or thesis will stand or fall solely on its strength—that is, the quality and quantity of the evidence you present.
