Review edits

To bring into line with WP:MOS some minor edits to the style of the original article were necessary. No content was changed. For instance, grammatically, "Because" should not be the first word in a sentence as that would be a dangling participle.

A few very minor typographical errors were corrected.

Edit Example - Original

correlational study examined smokers and non-smokers levels of persistence using the Anagram Persistence Task (APT)

Edit Example - Grammatically correct

correlational study examined smokers' and non-smokers' levels of persistence using the Anagram Persistence Task (APT)

Edit Example - Now with better style

correlational study which examined the levels of persistence of smokers vs. non-smokers using the Anagram Persistence Task (APT)

Edit Example

Pedantic? Maybe. (Guilty as charged ;-) ♥ VisitingPhilosopher ♥ ^{talk ◊ contribs} 08:03, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Originality

Conforms to WP:ORIG when there is no original thought in the article and there are references to notable sources for all of the statements made in the article.

Neutrality

One constructive feedback item from this review - the article's balance would benefit from a specific "Criticism" section, which summarises any dissent about the Learned industriousness theory.

Review conclusion

An interesting article - well written, well informed and on a fascinating subject. A significant new addition which benefits wikipedia.

Intro unclear

What does "Individuals with a history of reinforcement for effort are predicted to be generalize this effort to new behaviors" mean? Presumably a small error but it renders nonsense 86.132.193.15 (talk) 23:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
