Self-Regulation of Learning
Use published human and animal research and behaviorist, social cognitive, information processing and constructivist theory to develop an outline of a research proposal to measure self-regulation in one of the following fields:
· Environmental or evolutionary psychology
· Forensic psychology
· Health or sports psychology
· Industrial/organizational or engineering psychology
Select and complete one of the following assignments:
Option 1: Self-Regulation Presentation
Prepare this outline of a research proposal as a 10-12 slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with DETAILED speaker notes as if your audience were members of a foundation grant screening committee.
Address the following in your presentation:
· A description of how you are proposing to measure self-regulation
· The operational definitions, limitations, assumptions, hypotheses, and data analysis plans
· The deficiencies a critic might identify in your statement of limitations and assumptions
Option 2: Self-Regulation Outline
Prepare a 3- to 5-page annotated or expanded outline for review by members of a foundation grant screening committee.
Address the following in your outline:
· A description of how you are proposing to measure self-regulation
· The operational definitions, limitations, assumptions, hypotheses, and data analysis plans
· The deficiencies a critic might identify in your statement of limitations and assumptions

volutionary Psychology (EP) views the human mind as organized into many modules, each underpinned by psychological adaptations designed to solve problems faced by our Pleistocene ancestors. We argue that the key tenets of the established EP paradigm require modification in the light of recent findings from a number of disciplines, including human genetics, evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and paleoecology. For instance, many human genes have been subject to recent selective sweeps; humans play an active, constructive role in co-directing their own development and evolution; and experimental evidence often favours a general process, rather than a modular account, of cognition. A redefined EP could use the theoretical insights of modern evolutionary biology as a rich source of hypotheses concerning the human mind, and could exploit novel methods from a variety of adjacent research fields.
