Question

Identify *one* product that makes some type of neuroscience claim. To identify a product, you might consider searching through kitchen cabinets or a pantry. You might also consider searching through social media advertisements, internet advertisements, or television commercials. To determine the actual claim being made, read the packaging of the product or view the full advertisement of a commercial.

Search the academic literature to identify a research article that supports the claim, refutes the claim, or was the science from which neuro-bunk was based. The article needs to be from an academic journal. Use one of the following resources to help you locate an academic article.

Step 4:  Compose an APA citation for the article you selected.

First, state the name of the product you selected, including the neuroscience claim made by the product.

n your own words, write a summary of the article that explains the accurate neuroscience. In your summary, identify and explain why the accurate neuroscience from which the claim was based supports the claim, partially supports the claim, or is neuro-bunk. Pay particular attention to a tendency in the product's advertising or packaging to infer cause-and-effect from correlation alone. As you recall from studying research methods, correlation alone is not causation.

Lastly, include the APA citation for the article you selected and also the hyperlink (the full url) to the article you selected.

1: Watch the following Ted Talk: Drawing False Conclusions from Neuroscience Research(webpage, opens in a new tab).Step 2:Identify *one* product that makes some type of neuroscience claim. To identify a product, you might consider searching through kitchen cabinets or a pantry. You might also consider searching through social media advertisements, internet advertisements, or television commercials. To determine the actual claim being made, read the packaging of the product or view the full advertisement of a commercial.Example: You decide to search through your cabinets, and you find a box of "Sleepy Tea," which claims that if you drink it before bedtime, you will fall asleep.
