Option 1

 * Article title
 * Earworm

Earworm


 * Article Evaluation
 * By taking a first glance of this article, it seems that it's knowledgeable but there is room for improvement. I feel like it is lacking in the "Notable Cases" section, and I would probably add other sorts of cases from around the world to provide an imagery. There is a good amount of credible sources that they used and theres always room for improvement. The layout of the article is relatively very structural but it could definitely use some improvement. The amount of coverage is decently adequate but there is much more information about earworm in popular culture.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Savant Syndrome

Savant syndrome


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article isn't necessarily about music psychology but it affects the musical abilities of the brain. The lead section of this article provides a clear description of what the article is about and there is a clear structure. When briefly scrolling through, it looks like the article's subsections are about the same length with each other. The sources seem credible and there seems to be a decent amount of those sources.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Tonal Memory

Link
Tonal memory


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article by its name seemed interesting. The intro section is very generic introduction. The author/s used the term "tonal memory" in the beginning of every sentence and I feel that it could be reduced. There are two main sections of the article and they seem to be about the same length as each other. In regards to the references, there are only 10 references listed and I feel that it doesn't give the article that much credibility.

Option 4

 * Article title

Musical Hallucination

Link
Musical hallucinations


 * Article Evaluation
 * In the article "Musical Hallucination," the lead section explains what the term means in one sentence. This article interested me because I have never heard of people having musical related hallucinations. The overall structure of the article is well ordered, with the different causes leading up to the types of treatment possible. Where I would improve more would be in the "Treatment" section because it doesn't seem to have that much depth.
