Historical development of an idea from the work of William Jam

For the assignment, you must trace the historical development of an idea from the work of William James. Choose one of the following topics: free will, memory, attention, emotion, happiness, habit, individual differences, or religious experience. You must use a total of 7 sources, one of which must be a work written by William James discussing your chosen topic. The sources you use must range in publication date over a 100 years or more time-span, with the William James source serving as the oldest source. The sources you select should be those that best represent how the topic has evolved in psychology over time. Strive to use sources written by individuals in the field of psychology, although in some cases a relevant source may be written by someone in a related field. To obtain appropriate sources, use library databases and look for documents such as journal articles, books, or chapters in edited books. The best way to search for resources is to use PsycINFO, which includes everything published in psychology and psychology-related fields since 1887. Make sure you use sources with their original publication date, and not those republished at a later date.

Annotation Format Each annotation (no more than 150 words maximum) should summarize the central theme and scope of the work. Each annotation should include one or more sentences that: (1) describe the authority or background of the author; (2) identify the intended audience; (3) compare or contrast the work with another work you have referenced; and (4) explain how this work illuminates the bibliography topic.

Use inch margins, double spacing, 12 point Times Roman font. • A cover page in APA style should be attached to the bibliography. • Annotations should be organized chronologically beginning with the oldest (the annotation of the work by William James) to the most recent. • Format each annotation reference with a 0.5 inch hanging indent for its second and subsequent lines. Then format the annotation with a block indent of 0.75 inch. Use double spacing consistently throughout the bibliography, both within and between entries. • Include hyperlinks for all sources that are digitally available. For sources that have a digital object identifier (doi), include the hyperlink to the doi in the reference (as per APA style 8th edition guidelines). Electronic resources that typically do not have a doi include websites, encyclopedias, and documents such as e-books and videos. If you do reference a website as a source, your annotation should provide a general description of what is found at the site, and you should attempt to determine the website publication date.

Select a total of 7 sources that provide a comprehensive historical perspective on your topic. 3. Write each reference and annotation as per the instructions above. Each annotation should discuss the 4 items required for proper annotation format and be no more than 150 words!

The following is an example of an APA style annotated bibliography entry: Mulhauser, G.R. (1998). Mind out of matter: Topics in the physical foundations of consciousness and cognition. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. doi: 10.1007/978-94-011-5104-7 Written by one of the preeminent scholars in the field of consciousness and cognition, this book explores fundamental problems in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, arguing that it is entirely possible to account for the richness of conscious experience within a wholly physicalist framework − i.e., without resorting to mind/brain dualism. Throughout, colorful thought experiments combine with rigorous analytical tools (e.g., complexity theory, information theory, logic) to illustrate the author’s approach and to clarify a new theory of the conscious mind. Because this book provides a critique of quantum mechanical approaches for understanding the mind, it offers a critical perspective on nineteenth century works cited in this bibliography that support a physicalist perspective of consciousness. This book is indispensable for readers in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, its intended audience.
