User page feedback[edit]

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) 05:46, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
