Assignment:  Virtual Conference: Call for Posters
Effective clinical innovations and the dissemination of research findings are key elements in the growth and development of the psychology profession. There are numerous avenues that enable authors to publish and present their work. Poster presentations at conferences are effective methods for communicating research findings and providing opportunities to meet with other researchers and clinicians to discuss the research being presented. Thus, these types of conference presentations play a key role in the proliferation of research.
In this week’s discussion, you will be submitting your proposal for the Week Five Virtual Conference. You may utilize relevant assignments from previous courses in this program or suitable projects from your professional life. See the PSY699 Call for Student Poster (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Presentations document for specific parameters and instructions on how to create your proposal. Following the guidelines presented in the document, create your proposal and attach it to your initial post in the discussion forum. Evaluate the impact participating in conference presentations may have on potential work settings and/or doctoral programs and comment on the following questions in your initial post.

  • How are conference presentations professionally relevant?
  • What elements of the proposal process were most difficult for you, and why?
  • What positive outcomes do you anticipate will come from this process, which may be applied to potential work settings and/or doctoral programs?

Call for Student Poster Presentations  We invite you to submit a proposal for the Virtual Conference that will occur in Week Five of this course.  The Virtual Conference is designed to bring the class together to review and evaluate poster presentations of technical, professional, and/or scientific interest to psychology professionals.    To submit your poster proposal, include the following information in a document attached to your initial post. • Poster Title • Author Information • Abstract (300 to 500 words maximum) • List of References  The abstract should concisely explain the purpose and content of the poster.  Abstracts for empirical studies, literature reviews, and meta-analyses should include the following sections: Objectives, Method, Results, Conclusions, and Implications.  Abstracts for case studies, theoretical and methodological studies, and other projects should include the following sections: Purpose, Description, Assessment, and Conclusions.  The poster proposal must represent your original work.  Work already published in another conference or journal will not be accepted.  Please see the instructions for the Week Five Virtual Poster Conference Discussion for the Poster Submission Guidelines in order to prepare your poster for presentation.  Example:• Protecting and Serving the Black Community Program Proposal Poster

Not a paper but a discussion! The Ethics of Mandated TreatmentPrior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. The use of mandated, or legally coerced, treatment is widespread. Yet research demonstrating the efficacy of this type of treatment is limited, and mandating mental health treatment is one of the most contested issues in the field of psychology. To justify the continued use of mandated treatment, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers are obligated to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of such treatment programs.
You have been called in to consult on cases that may require mandated treatment. After reviewing the PSY699 The ethics of mandated treatment scenarios (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., choose two to discuss in your initial post. Begin your research with the required resources for this week. Using the specific situations presented in each of the scenarios you have chosen, conduct further research to help inform your recommendations for each individual. A minimum of one resource per scenario, beyond those already required for the assignment, must be included in your initial post.
In your post, construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to present your recommendations as to whether or not treatment should be mandated for the individuals in each of the scenarios. As you write your recommendations, be certain to provide insights into the following questions.

  • What are the ethical principles and implications raised by legally mandating clients into treatment?
  • What evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of treatment with and without coercion for this type of situation?
  • What would be the challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of mandated treatment?
  • How might mandated treatment impact your clinical decision making as the mental health professional assigned to these cases?
  • What client factors might limit or augment the potential benefits of treatment if it were mandated?

Integrating concepts from your research and the required readings, offer insights across different content domains as to why you have reached these conclusions. Explain how you used the APA Ethical Code of Conduct to guide your decisions. Evaluate the generalizability of your specific research findings to the situations presented and provide a rationale as to why this research supports your recommendations.
Choose 2 cases for this post! The Ethics of Mandated Treatment Scenarios  Scenario 1: A client with a well-established history of repeated dangerous behavior and inpatient commitment has been treated, stabilized, and discharged into the community.  The treating psychiatrist believes that the client’s success in the community is far more likely if treatment is continued. However, the client wishes to terminate treatment.  A request for mandated treatment is filed by the psychiatrist with the court.  During the hearing, the psychiatrist testifies that while the client is not imminently dangerous, he potentially could become dangerous again without treatment.  Scenario 2:  A long-term client appeared quite excited during a recent session with her therapist.  Speaking rapidly, she told the therapist that she was planning a gambling trip that would win her millions of dollars.  After some probing, the therapist learned the client had recently stopped taking the medication prescribed for her bipolar disorder because she had been feeling so happy.  The client also indicated that she no longer saw a need for therapy and was planning to stop treatment.  Scenario 3:  An older, debilitated adult is living within two miles of her adult daughter.  The daughter currently has control of her mother’s finances and is aware that her mother is unable to leave home to purchase basic necessities.  The mother wishes to be in psychotherapy, but the daughter claims that she can care for her mother on her own.

Questions in Psycholinguistics
Language is an important tool for storing, organizing, and retrieving information that has been acquired throughout one’s life, as well as for thinking, modifying, and sharing such information with others. Thus, there are many questions researchers ask about language and its use. For this assignment, complete the steps listed below:
Select one of the following topics:
Recent research has shown that bilingualism shapes the human mind. What are some of the short-term and/or long-term consequences of bilingualism on information processing? Include at least two sets of findings (e.g., speed of processing and vocabulary size) in your paper.
Human language is more than a communication system. What are the unique properties of human language that make it different from communication systems used by other species?
Most of language use in adults relies on reading, an ability that is often acquired later in life than the ability to speak and understand speech in one’s primary language. Why is learning how to read more challenging than learning how to speak in one’s primary language?
Ambiguities in the meaning of words and phrases are far from rare occurrences. Yet, both speakers and listeners (or readers) often do not appear to notice them. What are these ambiguities, and why do they often go unnoticed?
Can you “forget” words in your first language while you are learning a second language? Summarize the available evidence to explain your answer.
What do speech errors reveal about the way people think?
More than half a century ago, two researchers, Noam Chomsky and B. F. Skinner, debated the role of nature and nurture in language acquisition. What was the viewpoint of each researcher? What was the evidence upon which their contrasting viewpoints relied?
Can other species learn human language? If so, is it really language? In your answer, you may consider cetaceans, birds, and chimpanzees.
Review the literature on the selected topic. For each topic, use at least two peer-reviewed articles that can answer the question(s) related to it.
Engage your critical thinking skills. Carefully summarize the evidence you have found and then critically examine it. For instance, ask yourself if the available evidence is sufficient to support the interpretations that researchers have proposed, and/or whether there are ambiguities and unknowns.
