This assignment is worth forty (40) points. You will summarize a research article from the field of developmental psychology. Prior approval of your article from the instructor is needed before beginning this assignment. Please send me your article for approval as a PDF attachment.
Be sure the article includes a research study (one way to be sure is to look for headers like Method, Results, and Discussion in the article. Most of these journals are available with full text through Galileo; while any others can be found with the help of our online library services team.

Also, please see below for some clarity and guidance on your upcoming research article summary assignment:
This paper is in APA format, that means it will have a title page and a reference page. In addition to those APA formatted pages, your body of text (your actual summary) should be at least 2 pages long (2 full pages is preferable). So overall, I am looking for at least 4 pages.
As for font, 11-12 point font in one of the common fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Cambria, or Calibri) and your text should be double-spaced (which is why 2 pages of summary content should not be hard to do).
