Hi Caitlin! I am so grateful to be your PARTNER for this project. Catherine Hare (talk) 18:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, CaitlinJames! It looks like the main purpose of your account is to work on a project for your psychology class; I think this merits the Psychology Barnstar. As you are new to Wikipedia, you may not be familiar with Barnstars; here's a link that helps explain this peculiarly Wikipedian creation (they're basically the equivalent of scout badges). Good luck on all your article editing and creating endeavors! Danberbro (talk) 01:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Great job on your article. The fact that you added a picture shows you put forth a lot of effort to get all the information you can about your topic on the site. I really liked how the introduction gave a simple explanation of what the misinformation effect was as well as giving a short summary of the article.

The article was written very simply, which is great because an average person could come upon the article and understand what the study did; rather than an article that is very scientific and could be confusing to comprehend.

I thought that each section could have had more to it; while the summary style is good, there are times when more details seem needed. Maybe give a brief summary of how the other experiments proved their results. "Additionally, a 2005 study by Davis and Loftus revealed that elderly adults are more susceptible than younger adults" - I thought this could use a bit more detail or explanation. If it was done as the working memory capacity section was done then I think it would look a lot better. You could also add a section that says how this effect is relevant today. I read an article the other day about 9/11 where people were remembering things that didn't happen; despite the fact that everybody says they remember exactly what happened. Stuff like that would be cool to have at the end of the article to go along with the implications you listed (but those seemed just to be more studies).

Very good job on the article. It was reader friendly, well organized and had great information. Keep up the good work Taylor Haynes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.42.213.197 (talk) 05:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Caitlin,

 Thanks for the offer, however I recently finished the course I was using the Wikipedia assignment for and probably won't be continuing to make any changes in the realm of cognitive science pages. However if you have any general tips for psychology pages in general, I'd love to hear them! 

- Kate
