Remember if you use direct quotes (the authors’ words) you should reference correctly, by using quotation marks, and APA in-text citations. You also need to use in-text citations when using the authors’ ideas or paraphrasing. See below for examples. Not citing is a form of plagiarism and will result in an F on the assignment. Your answers should also include your own words.

Psychologists have a broader definition of learning than our everyday usage. They define learning as “a relatively permanent change in knowledge or behavior that results from experience” (Sdorow, Rickabaugh, & Betz, 2019, p. 238).
Paraphrase:
Psychologists define learning in a specific way that differs from our everyday usage. They focus on behavior or knowledge that changes because of our experiences (Sdorow, Rickabaugh, & Betz, 2019, p. 238).
