Briefly summarize the research according to the guidelines below.
Choose a challenging research article (not a review article) on biological psychology from a scientific journal. Be sure the article focuses on the biological basis of a psychological phenomenon. Articles of a completely psychological or completely biological nature will not be acceptable nor will articles from the everyday press or popular magazines.
Just a reminder – this report (with the exception of the citation) should be written in your own words. Be sure to use the headings below. If you find it difficult to find the answers to these headings using the article you chose, you may not have selected a research article; it may be a review paper that summarizes many experiments but does not describe the methods of those experiments. Try searching again for an article and make sure it has both a methods section and a results section.
