write a review of the paper that you choose (4-6 pages), focused on the following questions:

• What is the theory being tested by the paper, and what are the predictions of that theory?
• Are there any ways that the experiment proposed in the paper noticeably differs from the basic theory?  If so, why did they make these changes in the experiment?
• Do the results match the predictions of the theory?  If so, how robust are the results and what are the magnitudes of the results?  If not, how are the results different from the predictions, and what might be driving this difference?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the paper at hand, especially in regard to testing the relevant theory?

Are there any areas for improvement or extension for the paper (such as additional predictions of the theory, testing related models, checking for the robustness of results under varying conditions)?
