A Day in Your Brain

/in /by

As people go about their day and encounter different situations and experiences, they use various cognitive processes. People often do not recognize that they are using cognitive skills, and do not understand how their brain functioning contributes to their daily life experience. This assignment provides insight into the cognitive processes that your brain goes through on a daily basis.

Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to showcase “A Day in Your Brain.” Include the following:

  • Outline your typical day, from the time you wake up, until you go to sleep.

MY TYPICAL IS IS WAKING UP AROUND 8, WORKING OUT, EATING BREAKFAST, DOING HOMEWORK, DRIVING TO WORK. AT WORK I DEAL WITH CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM ALL DAY. I DRIVE HOME AND GO TO BED.

  • Identify 8 to 10 situations throughout the day when the following cognitive processes occur:
    • Perception
    • Attention
    • Memory
    • Language
    • Reasoning
    • Decision making
    • Problem solving
  • Explain how the cognitive processes are used in the situation, and how they help you to adapt in your environment.

Include detailed speaker notes on each slide to use as a transcript of what you would say while presenting. DO NOT REPEAT WHAT IS IN THE SLIDE. THE NOTES HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE SLIDE.

Include a minimum of two sources to support your ideas.
