Cognitive Psychology case studies

In this Assignment you are going to create three different case studies illustrating situations where a client has used each of these heuristics to make a decision. You will describe the clients’ thought processes involved in using each heuristic to make a decision. For each case study, you will discuss whether the heuristic led the client to a good or bad decision. Finally, you should discuss how you would demonstrate professionalism as a psychologist working with a client who has made a bad decision due to a decision-making heuristic. In particular, you should explain how you would convey characteristics such as reliability, accountability and timeliness to your client.

Discuss whether the representative heuristic led the client to a good or bad decision. You must demonstrate an accurate understanding of the representative heuristic and clearly link the case study to this decision-making heuristic. The discussion should be supported by information from the textbook or credible academic resource.

Write a case study describing a client who has used the availability heuristic to make a decision, explaining the thought processes involved in making the decision. Discuss whether the availability heuristic led the client to a good or bad decision. You must demonstrate an accurate understanding of the availability heuristic and clearly link the case study to this decision-making heuristic. The discussion should be supported by information from the textbook or credible academic resource.

Write a case study describing a client who has used the anchoring and adjustment heuristic to make a decision, explaining the thought processes involved in making the decision. Discuss whether the anchoring and adjustment heuristic led the client to a good or bad decision. You must demonstrate an accurate understanding of the anchoring and adjustment heuristic and clearly link the case study to this decision-making heuristic. The discussion should be supported by information from the textbook or credible academic resource.

Discuss how you would demonstrate professionalism as a psychologist working with a client who has made a bad decision due to a decision-making heuristic, explaining how you would convey characteristics such as reliability, accountability and timeliness. In particular, you should discuss the following issues: (1) Reliability – How would you ensure you are up to date with information in your field so that you can provide clients with reliable information and answer questions accurately? (2) Accountability – What would you do if you realized that you had provided a client with incorrect information? (3) Timeliness – How would you make sure you are providing clients with correct information in a timely manner, whilst ensuring the accuracy of the information you are providing?

Your paper should be 5-6 pages, not including the title page or reference page.
