Title – key words
Abstract – all pertinent informationSubjects, task, results
Introduction – background information sets the stageCitations in parenthesesStarted with the big questionGeneral information about place/position learning (rats)Specific -what is known about beesWhat is the knowledge gap..? (purpose of study)
What is the difference between place and position learning?
Figure 1. A sketch of the experimental situation, which shows the two targets, 10 cm apart, centered on the 90 X 180 cm top of the training table.
How were the subjects recruited?
How were they identified?
Any subject characteristics?
What is measured (DV)?(2 variables).
