Title, sub-title, TOC[edit source]

  1. Spot on

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Well developed
  2. Avoid having one subsection - either have no subsections or two or more subsections
  3. Watch out for creating an overly complicated structure - e.g., probably quiz questions can be embedded without needed headings, so that the headings are focused on communicating/guiding re key content
  4. Consider perhaps combining anatomy and physiology (maybe neuroanatomy and physiology?), so allow the bulk of the chapter to focus on addressing the sub-title question
  5. Probably no need for dedicated section on emotion - provide a brief overview and link to more dedicated Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity sources

Key points[edit source]

  1. Provided for some sections, but underdeveloped for other sections especially Conclusion which is the single most important section

Image[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Consider how figure captions can be used to help reinforce key points from text and address the overarching question

References[edit source]

  1. For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html

Resources[edit source]

  2. External links - Good

Suggested Resources[edit source]

Hi Steve, I was doing some research and i found some resources that I thought may be useful https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2729429/ - the effect anterior cingulate cortex has on mood disorders https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364661310002524 - emotional processing in the anterior cingulate https://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1749-6632.2001.tb03476.x - the history of the anterior cingulate in regards to emotion and cognition

Kind regards, hopefully these resources are useful!

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a neurophysiological question.
  2. The chapter could be strengthened by explaining the practical, everyday implications, with examples.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant neuropsychological theory is described and explained. Perhaps more tangible examples could help a lay audience to understand.
  2. Possibly overfocused on anatomy and could be more focused on psychological functionality.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. The chapter is somewhat abstract (difficult to understand for a lay audience). The examples etc. need to be more closely matched to ACC and emotion.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Interwiki links are well used.
    2. Good use of images - consider making some of them larger.
    3. No use of tables.
    4. Basic use of quizzes.
    5. Helpful use of case studies or examples, but more explanation is needed to connect them to the ACC. Similiarly, the image captions and take-message also need to explain the connection to ACC and emotion.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
    2. References are in full APA style.
