In the following sections, you will find artifacts of work I have done in my Cognitive Psychology class. The first section presents the worksheets on labs we did in class, which include my interpretations of the results. The second section presents Project One: Research on interventions for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury, and Project Two: what the research says about the brain on video games.
Section One

Section Two
PSY 375 Project One Template - Scruggs.docxProject One
Project One
In this project, I researched peer-reviewed studies for interventions on attention and other cognitive impairments in veterans with traumatic brain injuries. The two main approaches I present from my research are GOALS and CogSMART. Both programs show promise for veterans with chronic mild to moderate traumatic brain injury, in that they teach skills to compensate for the symptoms that their injury presents.
PSY 375 Project Two - Scruggs.docxProject Two
Project Two
In this project, I researched about video games and how they may help or hinder the cognitive abilities of those who play them. The research seems to be inconclusive, with many studies pointing to the negative effects of video games, and some pointing to their benefits. Overall, this is an area that requires more study, as 75% of American households play video games.
