Your assessment will include two sections: a literature review and a proposed study design. Your literature review must demonstrate the gap in the literature and the question that you are attempting to answer with your proposed study. Your proposal must include the a hypothesis, anticipated participants, methods and statistical analyses. This will help you gain experience in the design and proposal of scientific investigations.

Samples of work will be moderated in line with University guidance to ensure fairness of the marking process. Assessment Length: 2500 words Assessment Overview This project is designed to help you to develop your writing and researching skills, particularly your ability to search, interpret and synthesise existing literature and develop research proposals. Individually, you will write a 2500-word document that consists of literature review and proposal for a new research study which builds on existing knowledge. Formatting Requirements This assessment should be competed in a suitable program (e.g. MS Word) and using a suitable font and size, such as Times New Roman (12pt), Calibri (11pt – MS Word default) or Arial (12pt). Text should be double spaced and justified. The American Psychological Association (APA) 6thor 7th referencing format should be used for this assessment. Assessment Detail You will choose a current issue in the field of motor behaviour and write a 2500-word proposal for a new research study that builds on existing knowledge in the area. You will begin by performing a literature search for appropriate resources and building an annotated bibliography on these sources. You will then participate in a peer-review seminar to evaluate each other’s sources and depth/breadth of research. After the peer-review session, you will turn your annotated bibliography into a literature review and propose the methods for a new research study that builds on the existing knowledge in the space. This assessment will be developed during tutorial classes over the course of the semester. You may pick any topic related to the field of motor behaviour, such as those covered in lectures and practicals. A suggested topic list will be made available. If you choose another topic, it is recommended that you check the topic with the subject coordinator to ensure it will meet the requirements. Your assessment will include two sections: a literature review and a proposed study design. Your literature review must demonstrate the gap in the literature and the question that you are attempting to answer with your proposed study. Your proposal must include the a hypothesis, anticipated participants, methods and statistical analyses. This will help you gain experience in the design and proposal of scientific investigations. This document must be submitted to TurnItIn (link in the LMS) by the submission deadline (17/10/2021, 11:59pm). Documents submitted after the deadline will attract penalties in line with the University’s policies for late work. Please see below for detailed instructions and the marking rubric. Writing Your Proposal Your proposal must include the following: Title - Descriptive but brief title of your proposed research Introduction (Literature Review) - A detailed literature review indicating the background of the problem and key concepts, recent work in the field, and a clear indication of the gap that your proposed work will address. - At least three (5) references demonstrating the depth and breadth of your reading - At least one testable hypothesis Proposed Method - Must include o Number and description of participants o Proposed procedures o Proposed analysis methods Reference - Your references and in-text citations must be in APA format (6th or 7th edition) Learning Outcomes Assessed Subject Intended Learning Outcomes (SILOs) Outcome On completion of this unit you should be able to: Assessment number 3 Appraise motor control function in a range of populations using appropriate testing methods 2 4 Critically review the changes in motor behaviour with learning and expertise, aging, and injury 2 5 Select and justify appropriate methods used to measure expert performance in skill acquisition and motor behaviour 2 Support for Your Assignment Lectures, Labs, Seminars: Full attendance of all timetabled sessions is expected Review of Plans or Drafts: Drafts and plans may be reviewed by appointment only Additional Tutor Support: Please contact the Subject Coordinator if you have specific questions.
