Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol Assignment. Psychology Article

Go to PsycPORT (Links to an external site) , use the "search" tool, and select an article related to one of the topics below. Student does not have to rely only on the first page of the site.
Write a summary of the article that is at a minimum 150 words and a maximum of 200 words long. The summary must include the main ideas of the article, the chosen topic from the list at the very top, a descriptions of any research discussed in the article, and a link to the article. No direct quotes or copied and pasted text from the article are allowed.
Please be clear about your topic choice (of the five given) by putting it at the top of your submission. Also be selective about what kind of article you choose. Choose an article that clearly discusses a particular study that has a direct relationship with the topic. Give me the details of the study (design, results, etc). Do not choose an article that provides basic information about the topic. For instance if you choose Learning, you need to find an article that connects Learning and some other factor, like poverty, for example. There is a lot of general information about these topics on the website, but choose articles that discuss cutting edge research regarding the topic. If I can find the info in a psychology textbook, then its too general.
There are no edits or changes once the deadline passes. Make sure the work you submit is your your final draft.
