Q For this assignment, first start by listening to this Freakonomics podcast episode on choking (https://freakonomics.com/podcast/choking/ (Links to an external site.)). The podcast episode centers around the concept of choking, but also brings in working memory, attention, and related concepts. This is a great illustration of cognitive control, because it's more than just measuring working memory, and these examples and stories are excellent. After listening, I want you to describe about a scenario where you experienced choking - what happened, why did it happen, how did you respond? Next, consider how you could have prevented choking or if you have been successful since, how you avoided choking the next time. Finally, through these questions, consider the role of working memory and cognitive control throughout. How do these concepts play out in the ways you choke, the activities you are prone to choking in, or how might your abilities help prevent you from choking? This paper should be 2 doubled-spaced pages and summarize your experiences, and offer any insights you have gleaned about the intersection of choking, working memory, and cognitive control.
