PERCEPTION
Context, to help you: In our daily experiences, we pay attention to different objects and events in
the environment, for example, when a friend sees you in a busy street and calls your name, this
catches your attention. Here is another example, it is an important lecture, and you make sure you
pay full attention to what your lecturer is saying and ignore the chattering in the class. Not being
able to allocate our attention in both cases could be problematic.
1. Design a study based on theories and paradigm(s) in Cognitive Psychology to address a real-
world problem related to attention Read the marking rubric and ask questions if any criteria is unclear. The marking rubric tells you what is important to show in your work.
– Look at examples from past work. Note the titles were different (doing exactly as in the examples, or using part of the examples, is not a good strategy). The examples show you the tone and style of the work.
We have run a tutorial to support preparation for Assessment 1. We went over top tips, suggestions, and examples for each part of the proposal that you are asked to submit. The tutorial slides are still available and the study materials from week 1 to week 4 are useful for this coursework.
Word Limit
The word limit is strictly 1800, excluding the reference list.
There is a formal penalty for exceeding the word limit. Should you go over the word count up to 150 words, you will receive a 10% deduction of the awarded grade; students who go over the word count between 151-300 words receive a 20% deduction; and students who go over the word count by 301+ words receive a 30% deduction. The template helps you with word limit by suggesting how much to put in each section.
Your work has demonstrated comprehensive
knowledge and understanding of the core
theories presented in the course. You present a
compelling evaluation and interpretation of such
theories. You critically discuss theories and
present your original thinking.

Your work has

demonstrates
excellent
understanding of
the theories and

the development

problems. Your
work is supported
by recent
literature that you
found
independently Your work is very well constructed, develops an excellent argument that
is very easy to follow. Presentation is excellent, and very clear. There is
no implicit reasoning
