Now you are going to write a one paragraph summary of the article you read where you describe the following elements:
- a) the design the authors used for their project,
- b) identify the independent and dependent variables,
- c) talk about how the authors carried out their study (the methods; including the participants, how they manipulated the iv, how they measured the dv, and how they controlled for confounding variables in the study),
