Title – key words

Abstract – all pertinent informationSubjects, task, results

Introduction – background information sets the stageCitations in parenthesesStarted with the big questionGeneral information about place/position learning (rats)Specific -what is known about beesWhat is the knowledge gap..? (purpose of study)

Page 3: Place and Position Learning in Honeybees  (Apis mellifera)

What is the difference between place and position learning?

Figure 1. A sketch of the experimental situation, which shows the two targets, 10 cm apart, centered on the 90 X 180 cm top of the training table.

How were the subjects recruited?

How were they identified?

Any subject characteristics?

What is measured (DV)?(2 variables).

How do they measure?1?
