1. For this assignment, select a peer-reviewed journal article
relating to an area of problem solving, decision making, or an
intelligence theory that was discussed in class (e.g., fluid or
crystalline intelligence, primary/secondary reinforcers, biases,
or effective problem-solving strategies).
The article must meet the following criteria:
The article must be from a peer-reviewed journal.
The article must be obtained from the GCU Library.
The article must be a research study, rather than a literature
review (i.e., the article has to have methods, results, and
discussion sections).
The article must utilize a cognitive or behavioral theory, model,
or effect.
The purpose of this article review is to get you to think
critically about an area of cognition or learning. After reading
your chosen article, address the following questions. Use
subheadings to differentiate between the various aspects of your
review.
Major Findings/Conclusions:
Be sure to include the major findings of the study.
What conclusions did the researchers draw from the data?

2. Implications for the Field of Psychology (how the findings
could be used/applied in the field):
Include how the results of the study can be applied (e.g., why
are the findings of the study important?). These may be the
implications the authors put forth, or your own ideas (be sure to
cite if they are not your ideas).
How would psychology/education/counseling professionals
benefit (learn) from the findings?
How might the results improve knowledge or application in the
field? What should psychology professionals “take away” from
the findings?
Method/Participants:
Describe the basics of how the study was conducted. What
procedures were used?
Who were the participants?
Strengths/Limitations of the Study:
Include at least one strength AND one limitation you saw in the
study.
Explain why you believe each is a strength or limitation. Hint:
study findings are not “strengths” in and of themselves.

3. The article review should be 1,000-1,250 words. Include a
minimum of three scholarly articles.
