– The Article:
– Must be published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal
– Must include research involving human children
– Must be a topic covered in class or textbook – Please read the “WHAT COUNTS AS AN APPROPRIATE RESEARCH ARTICLE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT?” section in the INSTRUCTIONS.pdf file uploaded
– Must be a report of empirical work (e.g., not just describing a theory) and must be a report of a study (or studies) that the authors conducted
– It cannot be a meta-analysis or discussion of others’ work
– Additionally, it cannot be a chapter in a book nor can it be a thesis dissertation
– Make sure that the selected article was published in the last 10 years (i.e., the publication date is 2010 or later). It is, however, fine if you consult older work to familiarize yourself with your topic
– DO NOT report the statistics – report results in meaningful sentences (especially if you don’t understand them). For example, instead of reporting mean scores and t-values, report something like, “While the 6-year-olds performed significantly better on the single-addition task than did the 4-year-olds, there was no difference between the 6- and the 5-year-olds on this measure.”. Typically, the beginning of an article’s discussion section will report the main findings clearly
– The paper review must be in current APA format
– Make sure to include: a running head, page numbers, in-text citations, and references
– Do not write article summaries with too much detail – you should be writing a summary such that when we read it, it is clear to us that you understand: (a) what question(s) the researchers wanted to answer; (b) who participated; (c) what the participants did; (d) what the researchers found; and (e) what the researchers interpret the results to mean. You should not present enough detail to replicate the study
– Report the dependent variable – spell it out (e.g., “Researchers measured …”)
– Make your critical comments about meaningful aspects of the study. For example, were the tasks selected problematic in some way? Were there reasons to be concerned about the generalizability of the findings? Were there aspects of the study that were particularly well done? In all cases, justify/explain your critical comments.
– You can copy and paste the abstract onto the paper review
– Length:
– 850 – 950 words (NOT INCLUDING THE REFERENCE PAGE, THE TITLE PAGE, OR THE ABSTRACT OF THE ARTICLE YOU’VE CHOSEN). Only the content of the summary itself that counts
– Suggestion:
– “PsychInfo” is a valuable database for finding the necessary article
