Most published research is catalogued in discipline-specific databases. For example, PsycINFO is a database that indexes research that has been published in psychology journals. Most databases require subscriptions that are paid for by the academic institution. However, Google Scholar is a research database that Google has created for the public. <\/p>\n

Visit Google Scholar<\/a> and try to find a peer-reviewed article that uses behavioral genetics to study a specific behavior or mental process. You will probably not be able to access and read the article (the journals that publish research articles often also require a subscription) but you will be able to access the abstract. Give your post a clear title (ex. \u201cBehavioral genetics suggests that between 20% and 50% of intelligence is heritable.\u201d LINK<\/a>). Identify the phenotype that is being studied.

\"Goggle<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

FYI: In Google Scholar you will likely need to use the Boolean operator \u2018AND\u2019 to search for a specific behavior ex. behavioral genetics AND intelligence, or behavioral genetics AND memory (see above)<\/i>

You can either record your efforts in your private learning journal or you can make your learning public on your blog by using the hastags #IPSY102 #BehavioralGeneticsAnd.<\/b><\/i> Using these hashtags will allow WEnotes to harvest your contribution and add them to the Course feed<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
