In
\n this paper, the authors must have conducted a study that included both
\n1) a behavioral dependent measure (and\/or a cognitive or affective
\ndependent measure evaluating mental processes) <\/span>and<\/span> <\/span>2)
\n neurological dependent measure such as EEG, PET, or some type of
\nmeasuring of proteins or genes in a brain region. AND 3) the paper you
\nselect must be different from any other paper you are presenting on in
\nthis course, or any other course.<\/span> Again, the concept of behavior
\nand\/or cognition or affective functioning (e.g., mental processes)
\nshould be defined by one of the dependent variables in your selected
\nresearch paper. For example, you will select a study where a drug or
\nsome other manipulation is investigated to determine its effects on
\nbehavior, thinking, and\/or feeling. The article should also have some
\ndirect measure in the brain (e.g., anatomy or functioning). Advice:<\/span>
\n select an article that you understand or will be able to understand
\nafter spending the time working through the research methods and
\nresults. You want to challenge yourself and grow as a critical thinker,
\nbut you do not want an article so complicated that it is too difficult
\nto summarize concisely. You need to demonstrate your understanding in
\nthe summary. Similarly, do not choose an article that is overly
\nsimplistic and lacking data figures (e.g., tables and graphs) for you to
\n interpret. <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Choose
\n an article where the researchers are directly collecting data from
\nhumans or animals. Do not choose a review article, meta-analysis or a
\nsystematic review. This will be difficult for you to summarize
\nappropriately for the purposes of this course and does not meet the
\ncriteria of the assignment.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The remaining portion of this handout is the companion to the \u201cWritten Assignment ## Template to Fill in for Research Article Summary<\/i>\u201d
\n document posted in Bb. This handout explains what to include in the
\nsummary; you will download the template from Bb and type your summary
\ndirectly into it. Your summary must be in your own words, do not copy and paste any information from anywhere<\/i><\/b>. <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

When
\n reading a research article, you will notice a specific format is used.
\nThe Introduction begins with broad concepts and then narrows such that
\nit ends with purposes or hypotheses for the study about to be described.
\n The Method and Results are specific to the study described. The
\nDiscussion begins with comments about the study that was conducted and
\nthen broadens to put the study into a larger context. <\/p>\n

On
\n the accompanying assignment template, fill out the following
\ninformation in the space indicated (also be sure to refer to the grading
\n rubric for additional details, including specific information on the
\nminimum number of articles to cite in each section of the template and
\nthe minimum number of experimental measures evaluated\/reported in your
\nstudy):<\/b><\/p>\n

2a. APA Style Reference of the selected article:<\/b>
\n In APA style; the instructions for putting the source information into
\nAPA style are in Bb. Be sure to provide the DOI link that goes directly
\nto the article.<\/p>\n

Yes, I want the full reference for the article at the beginning of the summary so that I know what article you are summarizing. <\/p>\n

Information
\n from the reference is important to have at the start of the summary for
\n several reasons. First, in the behavioral sciences, we tend to refer to
\n sources by the authors rather than the specific title of the article.
\nSecond, the year of publication puts the information into context. Note
\nthat, unlike some disciplines, we do not give priority to the most
\nrecent (at the expense of earlier) publications. Third, the title of the
\n article provides the key concepts and proposed relationship(s) between
\nconcepts that will be addressed by the article. And, fourth, the journal
\n in which the article is published suggests the audience for which the
\narticle is written as well as the quality and\/or complexity of the
\npublished work. These details may not seem relevant to you at first
\nsince you are not familiar with authors, concepts, or journals; however,
\n they will take on relevance as the semester progresses and you start to
\n see the names of some authors appear again and again for some topics. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Confirm
\n in Section 2b and 2c of the template that the article you selected is
\nan original research article and that it includes a behavioral measure.<\/b>
\n Describe in point for how you know it is an original research article,
\nso that I know that you know. Similarly, write how you know that the
\nstudy includes either a behavioral, cognitive, or affective measure. As
\nan example, tell me the authors used the social interaction test to
\nmeasure how much time a rat spends with a novel rat as a measure of
\nbehavior. Or write that the authors measured reaction time in a driving
\ntest as a behavioral measure. Another example is if the authors measured
\n the number of items recalled in a memory task as a cognitive measure. 
\nIf you are not sure which of the measures in the study is a behavior,
\ncognitive, or affective measure, select a different article. <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

When you read your journal article at the very start you should find an abstract<\/span>. <\/span>The abstract should help guide you through the article but is NOT<\/b><\/span> to be summarized or included in the summary.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

3a. Introduction<\/b> (may or may not be labeled as such in the article)<\/p>\n

The
\n Introduction lays out the rationale for the study. In Expository
\nWriting terms, this is where the author(s) make their arguments for the
\nvalue of the study. <\/p>\n
