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.
Milestone One Topic and Setting
Topic: Perception
Setting: Law
The area of cognitive psychology I will be investigating is the perception of law.
Statement 1: How does the court system distinguish between the understanding of criminal intent between children under seven and psychopaths?
Statement 2: What strategies do juries use to convict an individual(s) of a particular crime? Moreover, does groupthink contribute to a jury’s verdict?
