Choose a recent study that has been referred to either in a textbook you are reading or in a lecture that you have attended. Obtain the original publication. Were the study and its findings correctly reported in the textbook? Do you think that there were important aspects of the study that were not mentioned in the text or the lecture that should have been? If you do think there were important omissions, what are they?

In terms of the designs outlined in this chapter, what kind of design did the study use?
