Week 7 Discussion- Applying Cognitive Principles to Judgment and Problem Solving

Please describe the topic you wrote about for your structured external assignment by identifying what real world problem you have addressed and the principle we have discussed in this course that helps address this issue. After your peers have informed us of their topic, reply to at least two with a description of a judgment heuristic or problem solving component that could potentially prevent their advice from being used. 

For example, if I choose to apply cognitive psychology to difficulties in studying for a midterm, I might discuss how the testing effect could be used to improve scores. My peers could then reply that a miscalibration of confidence lead to problems in insight during the exams.
