User talk:Maddierawding/sandbox

Hi Maddie, you've done a lot of research for this and it is greatly appreciated! Nice job. The page needs some work and a lot of clean up though. Please take some time to go over the page carefully, address my comments and your peer's comments and do some general clean up and tidying up. I wanted to give you feedback on your talk page although I have compared both the sandbox to the Morris Water Maze page. There are a few things to be corrected with wording and typos. I will give you some examples here, but please go back and make sure the copy is clean on the water maze page: wording awkward: [Now, more tests are placed on the rats with varying procedures DELETE PRIOR AND REWORD, SIMPLY STATE: NOW, THE PROCEDURES ARE VARIED. ] [Studies show however, that varying the diameter of the pool does not have a significant impact on the results DELETE OF THE IMPACT] [means that the experiment is still effective WHEN ANIMALS ARE ADMINISTERED multiple doses of different drugs REMAINDER DELETED]. In this sentence [and cognitive mapping whereas other mazes only measure one task.] The other mazes also measure motor ability--so it would be more accurate to state: whereas other mazes may not assess all three behavioral outputs simultaneously. Under, spatial learning, hippocampus need not be capitalized, did you mean to say that the MWM has a door? (cuz it don't!); egocentric and allocentric should be in parentheses, no commas; the huntington's comment kinda comes out of no where since you weren't discussing huntingtons prior--delete that part--not relevant--striatal info ok though; acetylcholine should not be capitalized and could be hyperlinked as well as cholinergic system (also not capitalized). These are the things that I caught and although, I'm posting comments on your talk page specifically, these things are all at the water maze page itself. So, make your corrections there! Thanks!
