OVERVIEW
In your research report, you will to describe and critically evaluate a case study of an individual with a cognitive disorder. Pick any case study referenced in the lectures or from your own reading.
SPECIFICS
• Research reports should be 1500 words (double-spaced 12-pt font with 2.54 margins) maximum. The word includes in-text referencing but does not include the reference list at the end.
• Research reports should be submitted electronically via Turnitin on the COGS101 iLearn site. No paper submissions will be accepted. Consult iLearn for specific submission deadlines.

• The inclusion of a title page, running head or abstract are not required.
• Research reports should be divided into 5 separate (labelled) sections (Disorder description, Casestudy description, Cognitive theory description, Evidence, Conclusion).
1. Disorder description: Pick one of the following disorders: Dyslexia, Amnesia. Describe the disorder (15%)
2. Case-study description: Pick a case study associated with the disorder. Describe the case study. (20%)
3. Cognitive theory description: Pick a cognitive theory that accounts for the selected case study. Describe the theory (20%)
4. Evidence: Explain how the cognitive theory can account for the case study, and discuss other supporting/contradictory evidence (20%)
5. Conclusion: Provide a comprehensive and thoughtful conclusion. Also use this section to discuss potential limitations of existing research and to outline future experiments that overcome these limitations. (15%)
