Suggestions for this chapter

[edit source]

Hello! Something that could be beneficial to look at for this chapter is the concept of flow and a flow state and how to achieve this, as this could be helpful when exploring ways to avoid or reduce cognitive entrenchment. Hope this helps! U3216389 (discusscontribs) 01:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hey! It looks like you're killing it so far, keen to see how it all comes together when you add some figures, case studies, quizzes and all that jazz! --U3190773 (discusscontribs) 04:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

  2. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.
  1. Under-developed, 1-level heading structure – develop further, perhaps using a 2-level structure for the larger section(s)
  2. Customise the headings and sub-headings between the Overview and Discussion to reflect the topic rather than the marking criteria
  1. Overall, basic development of key points. Some sections have more development. Some have no development. Some relevant citations included.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Key citations are well used
  3. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  4. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Excellent critical thinking about research is evident
  2. Also consider the sizes of effects
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated
  1. Key points are well summarised
  2. Clear take-home message(s)s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic. Some parts are excellent (e.g., use of plain language), however some other parts are problematic (e.g., grammatical errors).
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored") [1][2]
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
    4. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
    5. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[4]
    4. Use serial commas[5] – they are part of APA style and agenerally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    5. Check and correct use of that vs. who
  4. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      2. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname, separated by a semi-colon
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[6]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      4. Include hyperlinked dois
      5. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is insufficient
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. (e.g., why not more integration with the functional fixedness chapter?)
  4. No use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. One use of feature box(es)
  7. No use of quiz(zes)
  8. Good use of case studies or examples
  9. Insufficient use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Insufficient use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~2 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation
  1. An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  3. Establish a context for the topic, to help the viewer understand
  4. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. Roughly appropriate amount of content is presented. But maybe slightly too much. Consider slowing down the pace a little and reducing the amount of content on the busiest slides.
— not too much or too little
  1. The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion)
  2. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory
  3. The presentation makes little or no use of relevant psychological research
  4. Include citations
  5. The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
  6. The presentation provides practical, easy to understand information
  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent take-home message(s)
  1. The audio is reasonably easy to follow
  2. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
  3. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point
  4. Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement
  5. Audio recording quality was excellent\
  1. Overall, visual display quality is good
  2. The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read

  6. The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams
  7. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  1. The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
  3. Excellent use of time codes
  4. A link to the book chapter is not provided
  5. A link from the book chapter is provided
