Motivated Reasoning Peer Review:

While we look at motivation as more of a personal drive, this article outlines the levels of process needed to find what actually is required and desired. The difference between goal orientated and accuracy driven reasoning leads to the difference in Neuroscience and Social Science. This article clearly explains the processes and findings in simple terms. Though a "meaty" topic with many more aspects to be explored behind the development and process of Motivated Reasoning, it stands firm in how it is displayed and represented here. As a Wiki team we are looking to add more subject matter to this article and perhaps provide more of that "meat" for readers to review and expand on. Some subjects like the studies could be better explained in both the actions taken during and after the studies were had. It hold great ground for improvement, but is well organized as to make any growth or changes easy.

Goal Orientation Review:

With so much of Free Thinkers Wiki Team focused on Motivated Reasoning, Goal Orientation hold ground to be understood as a side bar to this topic. This source is well researched and explained thoroughly and deeply while remaining organized and having a good read flow. This topic branches into many other topics and sources and does a good job siting and referencing those for more exploration if desired. The list of references (41) has a diverse pool and all seem unbiased and hold ground for desired expansion research if you choose to follow them. I would say in the section titled Organizational Outcomes, two study sources are listed and the outcomes are explained, but there could be more explanation on how it directly effected change in the bushiness or personal agendas. Perhaps a follow up with the marked change in certain categories could hold more information towards why Goal Orientation is so important on different levels aside from studies done in one field. Bottom line, the article is lengthy, but well written and doesn't bore the reader because it is full of facts, studies, and examples providing examples and experience for the reader to contemplate as they will.

Cognitive Neuroscience Review:

I was drawn to this article due to its correlation with aspects of the mental process and Motivated Reasoning. To begin, the article is currently being reviewed and edited much more than the others I have reviewed so far. The article is well written with ample aid and additions from many, many sources. It keeps up with current science and idea allowing for a quick understanding of something that could be called very complicated and deep. The article is well organized and flows from topic to topic with each supporting the other. The writing style is purely factual and avoids any science bias. While reading I was able to understand the concepts, how they work together and with others, and better connect this concept with those cited and referenced within. It was presented in an intelligent light that did not get boring and held true to facts from past to present. Images allow for a more active/visual learning style and greater explanation of the concept at hand.
