It goes on the second page after the title page, and is the only thing on the second page. It is usually about 120-200 words. First, explain the problem under investigation. Next, tell the reader who the participants were (e.g., college students, 4th graders), and how the experiment was conducted. Then explain the key findings (without mentioning specific numbers), and finally the major conclusions and any practical or theoretical implications based on the data. Because it is a summary of the entire paper, it is usually a good idea to write the abstract last. The abstract should be very specific and concise. It should also be self-contained.

Notice that the title is the header for this section. You should not include a header that says “Introduction” when writing an APA paper.

In the introduction, it is important to tell a clear story that a general audience will understand. From very early on in the introduction (no later than the end of the first paragraph), your readers should know the topic of your paper, and why your topic is important. The importance of the topic can be theoretical, applied, or both! For example, some researchers study retrieval practice or retrieval-based learning – the act of bringing information to mind, which in turn helps people learn that information compared to common study strategies such as rereading one’s textbook or notes. Researchers may be interested in what exactly happens in our minds when we retrieve information (basic research or theory), and/or how retrieval practice can be used to enhance learning in the classroom (applied). The key is to tell the reader why the topic is important, and to write very clearly so that a reasona","cbCaio87G1GM46Rb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio87G1GM46Rb","pdf",1654469,20,"English","# Student Title Page Formatting\n## Layout, Fonts, and Spacing\n## Title and Author Block\n## Date and Updates\n# Abstract Section Writing\n## Abstract purpose and placement\n## Required content order\n## Acronyms and self-contained summaries\n# Keywords and Introduction Structure","[{\"question\":\"What layout settings are recommended for an APA 7th edition paper?\",\"answer\":\"Use 1-inch margins on all sides, double-space the entire paper, and remove extra spacing between paragraphs by setting Before and After spacing to 0.
