The goal of this paper is for you to explore a topic of theoretical interest to you by reading one or more empirical articles. We practiced this earlier in the semester with the Boroditsky article.
The goal of the essay is to use a core skill we’ll be practicing throughout this semester: analyzing the relationship between the theoretical and empirical questions in an article. A second goal is for you to further explore an area that is of particular interest to you. In order to accomplish this assignment, you absolutely must make sure that the article you are analyzing is an empirical one, not a meta-analysis or summary. (Otherwise there won’t be any way to follow these guidelines.) You can choose whether to analyze an article listed on the syllabus, one you find on your own, or both.
