Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title:Testing Affect: Testing effect
 * Article Evaluation:The article is written well in a neutral tone. The intro does a good job of laying out the components of testing affect. However, the article only explores only 1 of the 4 mentioned components. More research and sources need to be found and used to complete the other sections. There is a good amount of credible sources used. The considerations section could be expanded, specifically expansion of future research. More research and attention has been poured into this field of psychology and education.

Option 2

 * Article title:Scale Error: Scale error
 * Article Evaluation:The article's content is relevant to the topic but lacks depth and a large enough amount of research/sources. Only 1 source is used and more examples of the scale error could be used. Article seems to postulate that scale error is very uncommon and not often found in children without further explanation. Needs more content focused on case studies of scale error. Additionally the language employed throughout the article is highly casual ("basically...") and not appropriate.

Option 3

 * Article title:The early Language Milestone: The Early Language Milestone
 * Article Evaluation:The article's intro is well written and gives a good idea about the basic concept of the ELM scale. However the article is otherwise empty and needs development/research on the history of the test, diagrams/media of the test, psychological evaluations of the test, and overall more content. The content that has been written though is written in a neutral tone and has solid references.

Option 4

 * Article title:Affection: Affection
 * Article Evaluation:The article is written in a neutral tone and connects well to subjects concerning affection. Additional clarification is need about connections previous authors have made between sources and conclusions. An additional section focusing on the psychology of affection may also be needed. Media and/or pictures needed.

Option 5

 * Article title:Atypical anorexia nervosa: Talk:Atypical anorexia nervosa
 * Article Evaluation:The article is written well in a neutral tone and does a great job with the introductory paragraph of giving the general idea of atypical anorexia nervosa and comparing to the more well known anorexia nervosa. There are minor miss spellings, but overall a good coverage of pertinent topics and good use of diagrams/media
