The purpose of the second assignment is to give you experience researching a topic and identifying areas of current research in need of development. As such, you will be required identify a topic in cognitive psychology of interest to you, research primary literature on the topic, and write an original proposal describing the historic and recent background on the topic, identify important unanswered questions, and propose an experiment(s) to address these questions. It is preferred that the topic should be chosen based on what we have discussed in the lab, however, your topic can also be drawn from other sources (e.g., lecture, textbook) as long as is still cognitive psychology.
