Pick any topic you like that relates to the biological basis of cognition and find a PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLE that relates to your topic. Once you’ve read the article, you should write up a 1-2 page summary of the article and then include a page or two describing how the article covers and expands upon the information you learned in this module.
