· Introduction
· Study Purpose (What is the aim of the study? What concepts will you be exploring?)
· Definitions and other background information (What do the terms mean? What is known about these concepts already?)
· Hypotheses (What do you predict will happen in each phase? Be specific. There should be a clear expectation of how the data should look, so if the data do not match this, then it would be clear that the data do not support the hypotheses.)
· Procedure
· Study subject(s) (Who is participating in this study? What other information about them is relevant?)
· Study materials (Are there any apparatuses used for the study? What about tools to facilitate the study, such as an audio-speaker or a video-camera?)
· Steps involved in the study (What does each phase look like, including the baseline phase? What are you measuring and how? If relevant, what stimulus are you introducing, and what is the nature of that stimulus? How long is that phase supposed to last: how many trials are there or what is your completion criteria?)
· Results
· Graph/Table (What do the actual data look like? Does this visualization method have all of the necessary components such as labels, captions, etc.?)
· Written out results (What information should be keyed in on? This should be written out in complete sentences.)
· Discussion
· Re-state the purpose
· Re-state hypotheses and relevant results (Do the results of each phase support or not support the hypothesis for that phase? Why do you think the hypothesis was supported or not supported?)
· Future directions (How can this information be used going forward? What practical use does this information serve? Why should we care?)
