Select an article from below and use the information from the article you chose to provide experimental evidence and support for the theory of file labeled “Example 1.” Article information that you need to state includes:

  • Topic/purpose of the article
  • Participants – number and other necessary details
  • Stimuli –describe the unconditioned and neutral/conditioned stimuli
  • Conditions/Procedure –be sure to describe and give examples
  • Basic results – focus and summarize results that highlight the theory you have selected. Do NOT refer to any tables or figures.
  • Explanation – explain the results and how they relate to the primary theory

Article(s) to choose from (USE ONE ONLY):

Bitterman, M. E., Menzel, R., Fietz, A., & Schäfer, S. (1983). Classical conditioning of proboscis extension in honeybees (Apis mellifera), Journal of Comparative Psychology, 97, 107-119.

Smith, J. C. & Baker, H. D. (1960). Conditioning in the horseshoe crab, Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 53, 279-281.

Thompson, R. & McConnell, J. (1955). Classical conditioning in the planarian: Dugesia dorotodephaia, Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 48, 65-68.

This information should be about a paragraph in length. It should give the basic information, without going into too many specific details. Your explanation should be the strongest portion of this paragraph – this is where you take the research evidence and link it to the theory under investigation.

Be sure to include a citation in the paragraph that includes the authors’ last names and the year, along with a properly formatted reference after the paragraph

First author’s last name, initial(s). & Second author’s last name, initial(s). (Year Published). Article title. Journal Name, Volume (Issue), state page numbers.

NOTES ABOUT FORMATTING REFERENCES

  • Keep the authors in the order listed on the article
  • DO NOT state the complete first and/or middle names – use initials only
  • Put the year published in parentheses
  • Use sentence case for the article title – ONLY the first word, any proper nouns, or any word immediately after a punctuation make get capitalized.
  • Use title case for the journal name – Capitalize the principal words in the title. Use lower case for articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or) or prepositions (e.g., on, in, with)
  • Italicize the journal name and volume number
  • DO NOT use p or pp, when stating the page numbers
