Article review
Hi, This article was really well written, well cited, had the proper spelling and grammar and everything was explained very throroghly using well cited sources. As a result, it is very hard to critique your article. The only think that I would suggest is to include some examples when explaining things. For example when you are talking about how people with a highly sensitive BAS search for activities that provide them with rewards I would suggest explaining what kind of rewards ( i.e. Social, psychological- like happiness, or physical trophies). Additionally I would suggest looking into how the interactions between BIS/BAS may contribute to someone's traits from the BIG 5, especially introversion and extroversion and also thrill seeking. Also are people with heightened BIS systems higher in anxiety and depression? Other than those minor edits, this is a really good article, Katie Taylor Kataylor2 (talk) 13:53, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Article Review
I agree with the other peer editor that this is very well written. With most everything said I would just like to see a few more citations to back up some statements made. I certainly understand that is very difficult in some cases, but that is the only critique I can think of! On a side note, I feel that your grammar is very well done which contributes to the flow and feel of academia to your article. Nmottar (talk) 18:07, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Article Review
Overall this is detailed article with a lot of good information and is very easy to digest. I have a few suggestions for further improvement on the article. In the first sentence of the history section it mentioned that the biopsychological theory is similar to reinforcement sensitivity theory, however no evidence for this is added in the article, making the sentence feel out of place. Either adding the comparison between the two or removing the sentence altogether could improve this section. Another critique is that the future research and implications of this article has no citations making it seem as though the information in this section is authors opinion, not facts. I also think some information on how Gray performed his experiments to come up with his theory would be beneficial to the article in the history section as it would explain how his theory came to fruition in better detail. The only other suggestion I have is the one sentence potentially linking dopaminergic pathways to the BAS system also seems like opinion as it say it is a potential mechanism so that information could be cut out.
