You must identify a minimum of five recent (within the last 10 years), peer-reviewed articles to use to support your presentation.
Use the PowerPoint Presentation template, found in the Learning Resources for this Assignment, to create your presentation.
(5–6 slides, not including title and reference slides, plus narration or speaker notes)
Assume the role of a forensic psychology professional who has been tasked with presenting to an audience of law enforcement professionals about de-escalation, including the cognitive processes it involves and the evidence-based strategies it utilizes.
Create a PowerPoint presentation (with narration or detailed speaker notes) in which you address the following:
Title (1 slide)
Include title and your name.
Content (5–6 slides)
Include the following slides:
Role of cognition in law enforcement decision making, including the Yerkes-Dodson curve
Role that adrenalin and cortisol play, and how they influence the brain
How training can impact decision making
How to de-escalate situations based on cognitive psychological principles
References (1–2 slides)
Cite the sources you used to support your presentation.
Make sure that your PowerPoint presentation reflects graduate-level writing and presentation standards, including professional looking graphics and appropriate type style.
Use this week’s Learning Resources, as well as the five or more recent (within the last 10 years), peer-reviewed articles you identified to support your presentation. Use proper APA format and style for all references and citations.
Practice your script before recording your narration. Make sure when you record, you speak clearly and slowly; you have appropriate lighting, camera clarity/angle, and background; and you are in professional attire. Also, make sure your narration aligns to each PowerPoint slide as it appears.
If you choose not to provide narration for your presentation, instead include detailed speaker notes, as follows:
Under each slide, in the notes section, write detailed speaker notes for each slide to complement the slide content.
Your speaker notes should be clear, in-depth, and function as augmentation to the slide material.
Your speaker notes should be written with sufficient depth to allow someone else to deliver the presentation due at 3/16 at 10:30pm
