Research paper on a topic in cognitive psychology
Project Should Be On A Topic In Cognitive Psychology
Instructions: If everything has gone well up to this point, you should only have to incorporate the comments from your internal review into the final draft of your presentation. Upload your final draft to the appropriate link in Blackboard. Please see that the following are completed:
1. Your title page should include your name, the project title, and affiliation (i.e., York College)
2. Refer to the Project Guidelines to understand the order for each major section. Note that there are some minor differences between presentations and papers. In a presentation, you may place figures in the major sections like the Methods or Results. However, in a paper, all figures go at the end.
3. Refer to the Sample Papers for guidance on the order of major sections and the visual style of the document.
4. References – Include APA style in-text citations. See the Sample Papers for guidance. This section will include the bibliography that lists the full reference for your citations.
5. In a paper, the Figure Legends (the text that you use to describe the figures) go on a separate page after the References.
6. If you need to included samples or questionnaires that don’t fit in the Methods section, use an Appendix. If you have a long survey or assessment in your project, include 5 representative questions in the Methods section. The remainder of the survey or assessment should go in the Appendix.
7. All papers are written in the past tense because you presumably finished the work.
8. Do not write in the 1st person. Instead of saying “I recruited subjects…” you should say “Subjects were recruited…”
9. Refer to the OWL at Purdue online for information about APA formatting and writing style.
10. Make sure your papers follows this order:
a. Title page
b. Abstract – The abstract should summarize the paper in 300 words. Use one to two sentences to describe each of the major sections (i.e., Intro, Methods, Results, Etc.)
c. Introduction
d. Methods
e. Results
f. Discussion
g. References
h. Figure legends
i. Tables
j. Figures
k. Appendices
