• you should place the references inside ref tags , but with the complete citation
• Be sure the changes you have made will add up to enough points--it currently looks a bit thin.
• Revise the text you wrote so it is simpler and reads more easily. I.e., change "This was seen in a study by..." to "One example was a study by Nachum Vaisman who studied the effect of breakfast....
• I've cut out the parts of the article you aren't editing so it will be easier to copy back.

Food Consumption

There has been much research on whether eating prior to a cognitive recall test can effect cognitive functioning. One example was a study by Nachum Vaisman, who studied the effect of breakfast timing on selected cognitive functions of elementary school students. Their results found that children who ate breakfast at school scored notably higher on most of the cognitive tests than did students who ate breakfast at home and also children who did not eat breakfast at all.

A different study by Raja Sayegh and colleagues studied women who were experiencing Premenstrual Syndrome. The women were either given a placebo beverage or a carbohydrate-rich beverage. The patients were tested at home, and their moods, cognitive performance, and food craving were measured before the consumption of the beverage and 30, 90, and 180 minutes after consumption. The results showed that the carbohydrate-rich beverage significantly decreased self-reported depression, anger, confusion, and carbohydrate craving 90 to 180 minutes after consumption. But more related to recall, memory word recognition also improved significantly.
