Biological and Cognitive Psychology Presentation Proposal Learning Team A October 15, 2013 PSY/310 – History of Psychology Julie Ellett Learning Team A has chosen “The use of technology in psychology, ranging from technology in the laboratory to the use of computers in modeling.” The team chose this topic because we liked the idea of the incorporation of technology in today’s health care. We believe that combined with the growing field and ever improving and developing technologies, it can and will enhance favorable outcomes of medical treatment. Our learning team has agreed that each member will submit 3-5 slides per person by Friday night. Saturday and Sunday will be used by Marlene to compile all of the slides and speaker notes, as well as to design the entire presentation and write the introduction and conclusion. Monday will be the final check and then Marlene will submit.

People most generally think of test as the average education-based definition, which is “a tool used to systematically obtain a sample of what a student knows or can do” (Dimitrov, 2010, p. 23). Testing consists of different tools used to find as much data as possible. The four major types of assessments used are personality and neuropsychology, mental ability, and achievement testing. Psychologists learn about these types of tests to learn how tests may be used to obtain information. Mental ability test is used to measure cognitive functioning.

Students are often referred to as robots because they are informed on what to do, how to do a task and when to have the task completed. A hypothetical example of Wong’s Pragmatic Classroom principles is my kindergarten class is scheduled to line up for recess at 1230, the head teacher tells them they are getting ready to enter the building and they are informed to stop by the water fountain prior to entering the classroom for journal entries. Then they have been trained to enter the classroom and get their journal out of the bend box and place on their desk and begin writing in their
If someone is looking to get a job in the medical field they are required to understand subjects such as chemistry, where it is first taught in high school. To get a job in the business department a student would start with high school government and later move on to high school economics where they learn the basics of money-use. For an engineering major high school students are taught the fundamental math classes that are essential for calculating specific measurements and such. Lastly, high school develops key social skills that are helpful with debates, interviews, and communication. The way that this skill is developed is by giving students projects and in-class presentations.
This essay will look at individual stages and will evaluate the theories contained within by contrasting them with the findings of other related studies. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is divided into four stages. The first is the sensorimotor stage, which is in itself is divided into sub stages. These sub stages are: Reflexes (0-1 month) where the child can understand its

Convergers learning abilities are focused on finding practical uses for ideas and thinking. Assimilators are best at organizing and analyzing information. (Williamson & Watson, 2006) Kolb developed a test called the Learning Style Inventory, or LSI. This is a test which consisted of many questions to determine exactly which learning style describes you best. In the Bethel College Orientation 101 book they have broken down Kolb’s four learning types into three more simple types.
