    Twelve questions to answer after reading a journal article describing experimental studies

    1. What report is this? (Use full reference citation, Vancouver, APA format, Journal of
    Neuroscience)?!
    2. Was is the “big question” of the study? What were the specific research questions in this
    study?!
    3. What was previously known about this question? How does answering the research
    question(s) add something new to what is already known?!
    4. Who or what was studied? (Cite number and key characteristics.) What was the
    experimental design?!
    a. Descriptive study!
    b. Case study, multiple case study, case control design!
    c. Correlational design!
    d. Experiment, two-group experiment; multiple-group experiment; pre-test, post test;
    quasi experiment.!
    e. Factorial design, more than one independent variable on a dependent variable!
    f. Factorial design with within-subjects measures.!
    g. Time-series design: measures the dependent variable over time, with the level of the
    independent variable changed in a sequential manner.!
    5. In sequential order, what were the major steps in performing the study? (Record this in a
    flowchart.) Do not just repeat details from Items 1-3 and 6-9. Create an explanatory
    sketch that a year from now would help you recall how the study was done.!
    6. What data were recorded and used for analysis? What scale of measurement was
    used?!
    7. What kinds of data analysis were used?!
    8. If you have results: What were the results? (Refer to figures.) After analysis, what do the
    data from collected say about the specific questions of the study? If you do not have
    results What results do you expect to have? How would they answer the questions of
    the study?!
    9. What is your conclusion based on the initial question, the design of the study, and its
    results? If you do not have results: What would you conclude based on your expected
    results?!
    10. What cautions do you have about interpreting the study?!
    11. Are there any flaws in your study? How could the experimental design be improved?!
    12. What particularly interesting or valuable things did you learn from reading the report?
    (Consider results, method, discussion, references, and so on.)!
