Intro to Psychology brought with it an intro to research papers and journals. We were tasked with writing a paper about a psychological topic that was discussed in our textbook and I selected Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as mine. This is a topic I’ve seen discussed quite a bit lately, and I was excited to see what topics professionals were looking into. I found an interesting piece on executive function and medications, and I decided to use that report for my report.
The report did not take me significantly longer to complete than any other assignment I had been given, but it was certainly a greater headache. Psychology language is not my favourite to read, I discovered, and sometimes takes longer than anticipated, or appreciated, to get through.
A significant portion of the assignment was personal and real-life applications; however, this section included information about other people and has therefore been removed from this copy.
The (slightly redacted) final report can be seen here.
