Improving Metacognition Through Drugs and Physical Activity

The Questions: Can drugs help improve metacognition behavior?

1.Do drugs help us improve our metacognition behavior? If so what kind of drugs?

2. Does being physically active help our metacognition thinking?

The Create Phase:

Step 1: Reading & RWP Please begin by reading the article "The Power of Reflection" by Stephen M. Fleming.

Use these portions of the Reading With Purpose Technique: As you read through the article/chapter (not after you're done but during your reading!), write down the questions it raises for you as you go, for example:

o Things that need clarification

o Need another example

o Issues with content

o Assumptions being made

o “Extra ideas” - As those questions are answered through your reading, check them off

Step 2: The Create phase Begin this paper with the list of questions you came up with using Reading With Purpose (RWP) above. Then, in an essay of 500+ words please choose one (1) of your RWP questions and explore its possible answers in as much detail as possible.

Do not summarize the article. Focus on your own thoughts, speculations, observations, and any other knowledge you bring to the issue (e.g., things you've learned in this course, things learned in other courses;

Articles you may have read, documentaries you have seen etc...) Quality and clarity of writing does matter in this essay.

Give yourself time for multiple drafts using a word processing software before copying and pasting your work in the peer Scholar window for submission.

Do not submit a seprate file. Use the feedback you received on your first assignment to determine where you need to improve your writing for this paper.

Please follow the expected conventions for citing sources and include a reference list at the end.

However, this is not a research paper and the only expectations for reading beyond this article are in using course readings (or possibly videos) and links from within the article itself in bolstering your arguments. In Psychology, we use APA citation and reference style (just as used in your Noba text).
