You may choose something medicalized in either physical or mental health. After researching your topic, please teach your peers about your topic. Address the following points: What your topic is? How is this medicalized? Has this changed over time? If so, how? Are there groups/people who disagree with this being medicalized? If yes, please discuss their point of view?

Social Construction of Health and Illness Using the Conrad & Barker (2010) reading: What is one key finding of social constructionism? Explain and provide examples. Have you noticed this before in daily life and/or the medical field? After reading the links on BMI: How is BMI socially constructed? Is using BMI a good indicator of health? Why or why not? Has the use of BMI by the medical field influenced your perception of health? Discuss. Stigma is a key concept to understanding the social construction of health and illness. Rather than reading the (long) article on this, please look up one mental health condition that is stigmatized. This may be either a current recognized mental health condition or one that has been de-pathologized. What mental health condition did you decide to look up? How does stigma affect this condition? In what ways is this condition embedded with cultural meaning? (This section should connect to the Conrad & Barker article) How do individuals come to understand and live with this illness? (This section should connect to the Conrad & Barker article) How does stigma affect the way you think about and discuss mental health? Note: you are not required to disclose your mental health status unless you are comfortable and want to. This week and last week’s content included more dense and theoretical content. Do you have any questions, comments, and/or notice any connections to your life/experiences? This section is purposely broad and intended to be as similar as possible to in-class time to discuss the material and to ask questions.

Please answer one of the following questions
1. Ungerleider and Mishkin’s experiments were developed after evidence indicated that specific cognitive problems are associated with damage to specific regions of the brain. Why was that evidence insufficient to show that that region controls that cognitive function? How were Ungerleider and Mishkin’s experiments designed to avoid this limitation?
2. Ungerleider and Mishkin designed different sets of experiments to study the different routes that visual information takes through the brain depending on the kind of information being processed. Describe one of the sets of experiments, including explaining how the experiment shows what path the information takes.
3. What is the justification for studying the algorithms of cognition? What are two aspects of cognition that cannot easily be captured without theorizing about the brain?
4. What are the four main features of artificial neural networks? What does studying them contribute to our understanding of cognitive processing?
5. Discuss in detail one feature of H.M.’s condition and explain how studying that feature has informed our broader understanding of the brain.
