**Assignment Preparation**

**Step 1:** Select a topic from Weeks 6–8 that you are interested in exploring further. Below is a list to help you in making that choice. Pick any of the sub-topics listed via bullet points under the main topics—which one do you want to learn more about?

1. Mind and Brain:

· Cognitive bias.

· Predictive brain.

· Artificial intelligence.

2. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

· WEIRD samples.

· Cross-cultural and cultural psychology.

· Liberation psychology.

3. Technology and Media Psychology:

· Violent behavior.

· Identity construction online.

**Step 2:** Select one audience to design training materials for:

· High school teachers-in-training.

· Low-level employees in a specific workplace setting (specify what type of workplace).

· Managers in a specific workplace setting (specify what type of workplace).

**Step 3:** Locate three peer-reviewed journal articles on your selected topic from Weeks 6–8. Be sure that at least one article represents diversity, equity, and inclusion. To accomplish this goal, find at least one article that either comes from an international journal, uses a non-Western population, or represents clearly the experiences of an underrepresented group in the literature.
_Note:_ One article may be from our course readings, but the other two should be from outside of course readings.

**Slideshow Instructions**

This will be an oral presentation; you’ll want to record your presentation and support your words with a slideshow.

You may use PowerPoint to create this slideshow, or, if you wish, you may use other options. You are responsible for making your presentation work. Use the
[Capella University Library: PowerPoint PresentationsLinks to an external site.](http://capellauniversity.libguides.com/powerpoint) library guide for more information about how to create a PowerPoint presentation.

**Design Considerations**

Consider the following when creating the presentation:

· Be sure to use the minimum number of words needed. It would be ideal to have no more than six bullet point entries on a slide and no more than 10 words per entry. You can always add more slides to cover any given topic.

· Be sure to use typefaces that are easy to read.

· Do not use more than two typefaces of different names (such as Helvetica or Times).

· Do not use different typefaces that are similar in style. However, it is very helpful to use some appropriate contrasts of sizes and weights of type to focus the viewer's attention on the most important content within each slide.

· Consider using pictures and diagrams, in addition to words, to convey relevant information visually. However, minimize the use of decorative elements or effects that distract from meaning.

· For any visual material within your presentation that you did not create yourself, cite the source.

· For presentations in a professional context:

· If you use pictures or diagrams that you did not create yourself, you must seek out, and abide by, applicable copyright restrictions. Use

· If required by members of your audience, be prepared to make appropriate accommodations.

· Use current APA style citations and list references in slides at the end of the presentation.

· Refer to
