t, you are asked to create a review paper that illuminates an interesting aspect of Psychology’s history. The maingoal for this review is to highlight key historical trends (on a specific topic). You will need to describe and discuss at least fiveempirical studies taken from different points in time (late 1800’s to present day). In addition, you will cite 5 additional sources(journals, books, websites, documentaries, interviews, etc.). You should begin by selecting a topic that interests you and is also relatedto the history of Psychology (it will need to be approved before you move to your final paper). You can choose an article from anempirical journal through an online database but I suggest you also search this website first: londonessays.com discussing this central article, its place in history and its connection to your textbook, you are then to review five additionalarticles topically related to the first (you should summarize the studies in chronological order). You can go back in history or go backto the fu
ture. These articles may be research articles, article reviews, meta analyses, but all should reinforce and support your view ofthe historical placement of your initial article. In general, your paper should discuss how your selected papers illustrate theirhistorical context through the empirical work that they perform or review, contrast how the conclusions and questions have changedover time and how the five papers as a whole illustrate the larger historical trend introduced by your main article and in class material.One or two of the additional articles could trace backwards and demonstrate how issues raised in your central article got started, or ifyou select an older article from the website, you could trace the steps the field has taken to the present day. Regardless of which pathyou chose; you should select articles that demonstrate the trend in some topic that has been a focus of study over a sixty year or moretime frame. While the subject area is up to you, there are some inflexible requirements for this paper:
