You are assigned to write a paper on a topic of your choice that delineates the historical and conceptual development of a psychological system (e.g., psychoanalysis, functionalism or behaviorism) or a specific area of psychology (e.g., evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or positive psychology). In regards to the contemporary developments in psychology, you could write a paper, for instance, on how the invention of new imaging techniques has enormously contributed to the development of cognitive or social neuroscience.
