Abstract: A short [approx. 200 words] summary of the whole study.
Introduction: The introduction is the 'why' part of the paper, i.e., why the experiment is needed. It should discuss past research that has led to the researcher's current hypothesis. It might describe how previous findings are inconsistent or ambiguous and how the current research will clarify the situation. The introduction normally moves from the general to the specific: it begins with some general context about the research and then discusses specific studies. It usually finishes by saying what the hypotheses of the current experiment are.
Method: A description of how the research was done. There should be enough detail that someone else could repeat the research. It's common to split this section up into who took part [participants], what tasks were used [measures/materials], special equipment that was used [apparatus], the type of research design that was used [design], a description of what happened [procedure], and how the measures were scored [scoring]. It's unusual not to see participants and procedure, but the other sections may or may not be there.
Results: This is where the authors describe what they found. It normally starts with some descriptive statistics about the sample, and then moves on to the inferential statistics. The inferential statistics are used to test the hypotheses.
Discussion: In this section the author[s] use past research and theories to try to explain their findings. The discussion usually begins with a summary of what was found, then moves on to discuss what this means for their theory [hypotheses] and the real world, and then ends with a list of the limitations of the study and what still needs to be done.
References: The reference list appears at the end of the paper. It is important because it provides a list of all the sources used in the paper so that the reader can easily look up all of the research papers that are cited in the text. If an article is cited in a paper, it must appear in the reference list. Conversely, if a source appears in the reference list, it must be cited somewhere in the paper.
Edward undergoes a successful systemic desensitization therapy for his phobia of geese. However, after a few weeks, Edward freezes at the sight of a goose. What best describes Edward's situation?
A]
Inhibitory learning through gradual exposure to flying animals led to successful extinction of Edward's fear of geese. However, at the sight of a goose a few weeks later, his fear of geese is re-learned.
B]
Edward unlearned the fearful
contingency by undergoing a gradual exposure to flying animals. However, at the sight of a goose a few weeks later, his fear of geese spontaneously recovered.
C]
Edward unlearned the fearful contingency by undergoing a gradual exposure to flying animals. However, at the sight of a goose a few weeks later, his fear of geese was quickly re-learned.
D]
Inhibitory learning through gradual exposure to flying animals led to successful extinction of Edward's fear of geese. However, at the
sight of a goose a few weeks later, his fear of geese spontaneously recovered.
