Briefing Paper on Problem-Solving, Creativity, and Intelligence
Introduction
As in the first two assignments, imagine that you are now a professional psychologist, working in the specialization that you aspire to. You are charged with creating professional development for an interdisciplinary team of professionals in your workplace, on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices of cognitive and affective psychology can be used to help people in your work context.

In this unit you will write a briefing paper for your co-workers focused on these topics:

Problem-solving and creativity
Decision making and reasoning
Human and artificial intelligence.
Note: This assignment will be a briefing paper, not a presentation.
