Homework: Journal Article Summary- Attention and Mental Imagery
Overview
For each Journal Article Summary, you will choose an article to review and use the Journal Article Summary Template to complete the homework. The article you select must be a peer-reviewed journal article in the field of cognitive psychology. The article must also be a primary source, meaning that the authors are discussing their own research, not others` research (e.g. review articles). Do not use an article that conducted a meta-analysis. It is ideal to select an article that you will be using in your paper; however, this is not a requirement.
You can select any article pertaining to cognitive psychology, but I suggest that you select an article that you could use in your paper on false memories. The article should be a peer-reviewed journal article that discusses an experiment the authors actually conducted (i.e. a primary source). In other words, the article cannot be a review article, meta-analysis, editorial or something from the popular press. In all of these examples, the author is discussing someone else`s work and you`re reading about it second-hand. Please answer the questions directly on the form rather than writing them in a narrative form. Even though you are summarizing one article, please be sure to cite your source(s) frequently and throughout the summary. If you are citing other sources, please be sure to include a reference page.

F. What is the research design (i.e. between or within subjects, what type of statistical tests were used, what were the levels of each variable)?
G. Describe the results (but not their broader implications). Were the results significant? Which ones? Do these support or not support the hypothesis?
