Imagine that you are a practicing psychologist, and you are the featured presenter for the upcoming psychology conference. Your chosen topic centers upon factors that influence human behaviors and cognitions. In your presentation, you want to teach the audience about biological, evolutionary, and environmental factors that influence behaviors. To do this, you will need to prepare a PowerPoint to present to the audience. In your PowerPoint presentation, be sure to include the below concepts:
1. Identify ways in which the environment can both nurture and thwart mental ability.
2. Explain how nurture and nature play interactive roles in shaping behavior.
3. Summarize the effects of some of the main neurotransmitters in the brain, and list four hormones that influence behavior.
Your PowerPoint presentation must be at least eight slides in length, not including the cover slide and reference slide. In addition to your textbook, you must use a minimum of one scholarly source. Any information from an outside source that is used should be cited appropriately according to APA format. You may use the notes field in PowerPoint to expand on your ideas, if necessary, but this is not required.
Analyze personal and contextual factors that promote identity development in young adults and explain the close link between a young adult’s identity development and cognitive processes or a young adult’s identity development related to career and family. Include a discussion on what clinical mental health counselors might consider when working with young adults and recommend treatment goals that synthesize theories and models of individual, cultural, couple, family, and community resilience to address a young adult client’s system.
Your document should be written in APA format. Your document should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
