| Presentation | CA1 Flip Classroom (worth 50%): Team up with a partner, choose an age group (toddlers or children, adolescents, adults, or the elderly), and select a topic (perception, mental imagery, attention, awareness, cognitive control, working memory, memory systems, spatial memory). In the first week, the professor will introduce two topics. In the second week, these topics will be examined across the lifespan through the Flip Classroom. In groups of four, representing different age groups, students (in pairs per age group) will present a recent paper on their chosen cognitive function. All teams will then engage in a panel discussion on how the chosen cognitive function evolves across the lifespan. | 50% | n/a | | Assignment | CA2 Opinion Piece in Frontiers in Psychology (worth 50%): You and your partner from the Flip Classroom CA1 will collaborate with the remaining three groups (each consisting of two people) from your panel discussion team, each specializing in a different age group. Together, you will write an opinion piece examining how cognitive function "X" evolves across the lifespan. Cognitive function "X" could relate to perception, mental imagery, attention, awareness, cognitive control, working memory, memory systems, or spatial memory. Each team will consist of four groups of two people: one group responsible for toddlers or children, one for adolescents, one for adults, and one for the elderly. | 50% | n/a |
