My introduction section is written up but needs some improvements, I only have 2 sources cited and paper requires 10 but can be split into discussion section.
I have attached my lab write up and a screenshot of what the Numerical Memory Experiment entails as well as the results I came up with. I emphasize using multiple sources to add up to 10 total. Thank you!
As for the Discussion section:
Summarize findings in clear, plain language
Discusses implications of findings in the context of the background research already discussed
- Incorporates peer-reviewed research as part of this discussion of findings; typically these will be the sources from the Introduction, but you may find that you need to introduce new additional sources to elaborate on a new idea brought up by the results
- Discusses limitations of the research design (briefly)
Discusses future directions (briefly)
- Limitations and future directions should be a small part of your Discussion (20% or less), not the majority of your discussion
- Should be approximately 1 page long
- The first paragraph of your Discussion section should be a concise but clear, plain-language statement of your main findings and how they relate to your hypothesis. Don’t present statistics (we did that in the Results section), but don’t be too broad; state what you found. After that, explore the implications of these findings. Relate them back to the background research discussed in the Introduction section (do your results fit with those studies?), use your results to critique others’ findings or conclusions, and use all of this to synthesize the larger logical conclusion and next step. You should cite sources in-text. Predominantly, you should be tying your findings back to the original research studies from the Introduction, but you might also need to introduce new sources to support a point (e.g., justification for a particular limitation, feasibility of a future direction, etc.)
