 Progress in brain research has necessitated a call to action for application of this research into the practice of education.  Your text addresses many different aspects of brain research that might inform educational practice, including information processing models, research directed toward different kinds of memory, and new research regarding brain development.  For this discussion:
Find a recent journal article (published within the last 5 years) from a peer-reviewed journal that discusses a new study or research that is related to one of the areas of brain research discussed in your text this week.  Be sure to post a link to the article you are discussing.
Briefly describe the study from your article, including the results of the study.
How might the results of the study you chose inform intentional teaching?  Discuss at least one (1) way in which an intentional teacher might use this information in the classroom.
Be sure to include properly cited scholarly sources.

 Mental Health needs during Covid 19
Share links to two sources from the Shapiro Library that you have found through your independent research.
Describe how these two sources support your topic.
What different perspectives are represented in these two sources? What voices are present in these sources and how do the present voices differ? For example, if you are writing on a four-day work week, an economist, an employee, an employer, and a customer/client might all have different perspectives on this topic because a shortened work week impacts each of them in different ways.
Do the voices and perspectives represented in these sources give a full or fair picture of whom the topic touches? If not, what perspectives do you need to consider as you continue your research?

Question A
Psychoanalytic theory suggests that some memories can be so painful, that a person can totally block them from their conscious memory and then later “recover” them; either spontaneously or while receiving therapy.  Others argue that these are false memories that can be created through the power of suggestion for some people.  Which viewpoint do you agree with and why?  Have you had a memory that later turned out to be incorrect?  What do you think was the cause of the error in your recollection? 
Question B
Public perception of psychology tends not to portray the entire scope of the field. To evaluate this statement please ask three people who are not in this psychology class (e.g., roommates, parents, friends and professors from other fields) what they think psychologists do. Next, compile a list of the ideas and then compare this list to Chapter 1 of the textbook. What did your small sample miss? What did they over-represent? Why do you think these misperceptions exist?

In Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, assiduously documents the deep and insidious unjust criminal justice system that exists in the United States. You are being asked to address the biological, psychological, and social systems and policies/laws that are intentionally designed to negatively impact marginalized individuals and communities, in particular African American, at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. 
Focuses specifically on chapter 8, which describes the biological, psychological and social effects that life imprisonment without parole in an adult prison has on young children like Trina Garnett.
Briefly describe and analyze how the biological, psychological and social systems positively and negatively affected Trina Garnett during her childhood and adolescence stages of development. Apply two traditional developmental theories and at least one midrange or alternative theory/perspective      (refer to theories learned in HBSE I). Discuss how the micro, mezzo, and      macro systems, both formal and informal, affected Trina. Identify policies that had positive and negative effects.
Make believe that you are Trina’s social worker and she is in her adolescence stage of development: 1) Provide specific examples of how you engaged Trina. 2) State      how you assessed her biologically      and psychologically. Identify one EBP assessment tool, share its validity and      reliability, and explain and analyze its findings. Make believe that you      also used an eco-map to assess Trina’s level of social support. First, explain the importance of using an eco-map and describe the results of Trina’s the eco-map. (Put each assessment tool in the appendices).
Explain the treatment/ intervention plan you developed for Trina? Clearly explain why you selected the specific intervention strategies and      provide support from social work literature. Share the timeline for the      intervention. Be sure to link the results of each assessment tool used to      the corresponding intervention strategy used in your treatment plan.
To determine your evaluation, explain whether the treatment/intervention strategies used with Trina were successful. Why or  why not?

SCENARIOS
You are interested in investigating the relationship between altruism and empathy. Specifically, you want to know whether focusing on the feelings of a person in need will lead to greater feelings of empathy and more willingness to help than focusing on that person’s thoughts.
The Internet has become an outlet not just for information but for social relationships as well. It is well known that being ostracized from a group has negative consequences for a person. Imagine that you are interested in studying whether the manner in which a person is treated during a social interaction on the Internet affects his or her mood or self-esteem. You design an experiment to test the idea that individuals who are ostracized in an Internet social interaction will show poorer mood and lower self-esteem than those who are accepted.
You are interested in whether changing the format of a lineup will affect the accuracy of eyewitness identification in children and adults. Specifically, you want to know if individuals perform differently on three types of lineups: a standard simultaneous lineup (the witness views all individuals in the lineup at the same time and is asked whether he or she recognizes anyone), a fast elimination lineup (the witness is told to look at the lineup and pick out the person who looks most like the suspect), and a slow elimination lineup (the witness is told to eliminate individuals from the lineup who do not look like the suspect). You are interested in the rates of correct identifications (correctly identifying the suspect), false alarms (saying the suspect is in the lineup when he or she is not), misses (saying the suspect is not in the lineup when he or she is), and correct rejections (correctly saying that the suspect is not present in the lineup).
Thursday, articles evaluating this material will become available to you and you will be able to answer item 7, due by Sunday. 
Detailed instructions : 
Do the following for the scenario (below) you selected. Your response may be bulleted for each response below, but make sure to write in complete sentences when appropriate:
Write an alternative and null hypothesis. H1 and Ho.
Identify the most appropriate experimental design (e.g., single-factor or factorial) and explain how exactly it qualifies as that type of design.
Specify precisely what the independent variable(s) will be, and how they will be manipulated. Also, specify the number of levels of each independent variable if appropriate.
Specify exactly what the dependent variable(s) will be, and the operational definition for the variable as well as how it will be quantified.
Specify the procedures that will be followed (e.g., how participants will be obtained, where the experiment will be run, and what exactly will take place). This should be detailed enough to clearly illustrate what the manipulation is in the experiment and exactly how the experiment would work. 
Indicate what, if anything, would be done to control extraneous variables and eliminate confounding variables.
Indicate if the experiment could be run as a within-subjects or matched-groups design. If so, what would the matching variables be and why? For within-subjects designs, indicate what you would do to address the problems of carryover effects, participant fatigue, habituation, etc.
ONLY ONE RESPONSE THIS WEEK which will involve your response to the article below:
AVAILABLE THURSDAY 3 AM ET:  Find the article from which the hypothesis was taken, and investigate how the researchers who did the experiment designed and executed the experiment. Compare your designed experiments with the real thing. Due by Sunday (if attending residency can post by Monday EOD).

Peter who is Caucasian, age 35, and his partner of 10 years, Joe, who is African American, age 40, have decided they would like to adopt children. They are seeking the assistance of their local child welfare agency because they have learned that it may be easier for them to adopt a special needs child through a foster care-to adoption plan. As the foster care/adoption casework team at the child welfare agency, you have been assigned the case. Peter has filed to be the primary foster parent and has been open about his relationship with Joe.
During your first visit to their home, Peter, an experienced teacher in the Wilmington public school system, welcomes you. He is very outgoing and has a great sense of humor. His desire to become a foster parent is genuine and you find the home environment to be more than adequate for at least one child. Later in the interview, you meet Joe.  A successful physician, Joe is more reserved than Peter but is very sincere about his desire to be a parent. Both Peter and Joe have completed the foster parenting course required by the state. Peter and Joe appear to have a stable relationship and are supported in their efforts to adopt by Peter’s parents. Joe has had difficulty coming out to his parents who believes that Peter is only Joe’s housemate.
After the first home visit, you leave the home feeling that foster children would receive good care and that the environment is safe and stable. You present your findings to your supervisor so that you may proceed with the necessary background checks on the couple. After presenting the case, you are surprised to find that your supervisor does not support the couple becoming foster parents, stating that foster children “have already been through too much trauma” and further expressing her real misgivings about a gay couple raising children. Knowing that there are over 300 children in the Delaware foster care system in need of placement, you believe that finding a good foster care-to-adoption home, while critically important, has become increasingly difficult.
Describe how you as social workers will competently handle this case by addressing 5 of the 8 questions below.
Briefly discuss homophobia. What type of research will you conduct and/or present to your supervisor to support your assessment       and intervention plans?
Provide a brief assessment of the family focusing on the sociological aspects of the family? (Competency 7)
Discuss one micro, one mezzo, and one macro-level treatment plan or intervention strategies that you would use with Peter and Joe. (Competency 8)
Are there any ethical or value conflicts that need addressing? If so, explain how you would address them. 
Identify stereotypes commonly attributed to gay and lesbian individuals, including those who are parents or wish to become parents. Explain how you will engage in diversity and difference during your work with the clients (Competency 2).
What are some of Peter and Joe’s struggles for social justice (Competency 3)? Include both traditional and alternative perspectives and theorists such as Kinsley, Storm, and Cass.
Discuss NASW’s position on working with populations at risks such as Peter and Joe? (Competency 3)
Describe how you plan to evaluate the success of your intervention strategies with Peter and Joe. Discuss some of the potential barriers (micro, mezzo or macro) to your success.
