Assignment - Psychology Impacts of Video Gaming on Human Cognitive Blog Post

Description - As technology evolves, members of the cognitive science community seek to better characterize the potential impacts that technology might have on our cognitive skills. There have been exciting benefits to the advances over the past 20 years, but have these same tools also changed the way we think? Have they changed our capacity to attend and process information? As you have learned in previous courses, such as PSY 222 (Research Methods) and PSY 260 (Statistical Literacy in Psychology), these sparks of curiosity can turn into research questions, and soon a body of work is produced-in this case, one that examines the effects of innovation and technology on the cognition of specific populations.

For this project, due in Module Seven, you will create a technology and cognition blog post with the goal of educating a general audience, as well as healthcare providers, who are educated but not necessarily familiar with your topic of research. Do your best to summarize your sources in your own words with a scientific and formal but not overly technical tone. As such, do not use quotations in your blog, but be sure to use in-text citations and references appropriately. Building this type of communication skill will exercise your ability to consume information and will benefit you in any career path you choose.

In your Project Two Milestone, which was due in Module Five, you selected a TOPIC - Effects of Playing Video Games in Various Aspects of Cognition and completed an annotated bibliography of current research related to your topic.
