Applied Psychology Research – Human Factors

Research in psychology sometimes tests the use of products to improve the well-being of people. For example, in the online article you read in your studies for this unit, "Undoing Dyslexia via Video Games," the authors describe how the Fast ForWord program is used to help children with dyslexia to distinguish between sounds.

For this discussion:

• Find an example of how applied psychology has been used to develop or improve a product in the interest of human well-being.
• Describe the product, and explain how it is used to promote well-being. What does research tell us about the effectiveness of the product? Provide the reference for the source that studied the product.
• Use APA (6th edition) style and formatting for in-text citing and reference page.
