Cognitive psychology
Cognitive psychology entails people's attention to details, what they remember, how they speak, and their decisions. The area of cognitive psychology that interests me the most is memory. We receive a lot of information daily; what matters is our ability to remember. Our learning, reasoning, and problem-solving are all determined by our ability to remember (McBride et al., 2022). I find this area of psychology interesting because I would like to understand more about how we consume, store, and retrieve information in our brains.
Mental health is the applied setting in which I have more interest for my future career. The importance of mental health cannot be understated, yet it has not been addressed enough. I am also interested in this applied setting because I feel that it will help me explore how memory works. Mental health issues start with memory. For example, thinking about something too much can cause depression. Memory is a key factor for diagnosing mental health issues such as dementia. Therefore, I feel that my interest in memory would be explored better in the mental health applied setting.
Potential cognitive problems in memory that can be solved through further research in cognitive processes include memory loss (McBride et al., 2022). Memory loss is a person's inability to remember information. People with memory loss forget critical details, such as their names. Research in cognitive processes would help to identify the factors that cause memory loss and how to prevent it. Another cognitive problem is behavioral changes (McBride et al., 2022). Memory issues can cause behavioral changes, which can only be understood through the study of cognitive processes.

4-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Annotated Bibliography
In this milestone, you will work from the topic, applied setting, and research questions you identified in Module Two and start identifying relevant research to support your final proposal. Two major aspects of your final project include selecting foundational theories relevant to your topic and suggesting potential strategies or techniques that may alleviate a problem in an applied setting. To help you prepare for these aspects of the project, you will complete an annotated bibliography featuring a minimum of four research articles. Two of the articles that you find should be related to the theories you related to your topic that you intend to feature in your final proposal. The other two articles should discuss applied research related to your topic area.
For each article, include a summary that highlights how the article relates to your chosen topic and setting, and address the following questions:
● How do the research results and statistical findings in the article apply to your research question and your applied setting?
● What are the strengths and limitations of the research results and findings in supporting the research question?
● How could you expand on available research to more specifically address your research question?
For additional details, please refer to the Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric and the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric.

Annotated Bibliography
Overview
When engaged in the research process, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you are taking in. Sometimes writers begin to lose track of how the content they are reading will be helpful in supporting the claims they make in their papers or in addressing their research question. A working annotated bibliography helps writers organize potentially useful resources and streamlines the process of identifying relevant research.
When drafting a proposal, it is important to make a compelling case why the proposed project can improve practice in an applied setting. As a psychologist, you do this by pulling from examples of theoretical and applied research from the field. Works of theoretical research establish foundational theories and offer insight as to why problems exist in an applied setting. Applied research studies observe practice in an applied setting and suggest strategies and techniques to improve a problem based on collected data. Together, these types of research comprise a well-balanced argument that explains why a problem exists and how it can be fixed.
In Module Four, you will submit a working annotated bibliography with at least four assignments, including scholarly books or articles, pertaining to your proposal topic, applied setting, and the research questions identified in Module Two. Two of the articles you find should be related to the theories you related to your topic that you intend to feature in your final proposal. The other two articles should discuss applied research related to your topic area.
For each article, include one paragraph summarizing how the article relates to your chosen topic and setting and a second paragraph addressing the following questions:
- How do the research results and statistical findings in the article apply to your research question and your applied setting?
- What are the strengths and limitations of the research results and findings in supporting the research question?
- How could you expand on available research to more specifically address your research question?
Conclude each assignment with a brief critique of the article. What are the strengths or limitations of the research? How could future research build on these findings?
What to Submit
Each annotation should be 1-2 paragraphs in length, double-spaced in Times New Roman 12-point font, using proper APA citations.
