Points to consider for the write-up
Abstract:

Concise summary of study

Introduction:

What is word production?
What is a tip-of-the-tongue state?
What is the transmission deficit model of tip-of-the-tongues?
What is the blocking hypothesis of tip-of-the-tongues?
What is priming?
What is the hypothesis of the study?

Methods:

  1. Information on participant cohort.
  2. What design was used (e.g. between- or within-groups)?
  3. What materials were used?

Results:

  • What are the descriptives?
  • How should you present this data?
  • What statistical analysis is used?
  • What are the results of the inferential statistics?

Discussion:

  1. Is the hypothesis confirmed?
  2. Does your study support the transmission deficit model or the blocking hypothesis?
  3. How do your results fit in with other literature in the field?
  4. How do you results differ from other literature in the field?
  5. What are some of the individual differences that might affect the results?
  6. Was the study methodologically sound?
  7. Can you suggest ideas for future study?
