Hi Paige, You are off to a good start.

Here are the links that I emailed you that should help to establish Dr. Balcetis's notability.

https://www.amazon.com/Social-Psychology-Visual-Perception-Balcetis/dp/1848728042/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508037286&sr=8-1&keywords=Emily+Balcetis

To cite her book, click on the cite button at the top of the edit window and drop in the ISBN number (which I retrieved from Amazon). ISBN-10: 1848728042

To cite articles (that you find on Google Scholar), you will need to grab the DOI which is usually on the first page of the article. Be sure to write full sentences that describe her big ideas and contributions.

Here are a few you may want to include: Balcetis, E., & Dunning, D. (2006). See what you want to see: motivational influences on visual perception. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 91(4), 612-625.

Balcetis, E., & Dunning, D. (2010). Wishful seeing: More desired objects are seen as closer. Psychological Science, 21(1), 147-152.

Balcetis, E., & Dunning, D. (2007). Cognitive dissonance and the perception of natural environments. Psychological Science, 18(10), 917-921.

When you discuss the work, create hyperlinks to relevant Wikipedia content, such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

Dr. Balcetis has a TED talk that you will want to watch (and cite by URL). Even though the talk is about "exercise" it is also about visual perception.
