1. Is this a violation of the APA code of ethics? Explain.
2. Be sure to cite the appropriate section or sections of the Code in your response.
-CONCLUSION

-REFERENCES
Your must have a minimum of 4 peer-reviewed journal articles from psychology research journals.
Note: You may not find a peer-reviewed journal article on a company's claim regarding a specific product, diet, or service. However, you will most likely be able to find peer-reviewed journal articles on the general issue that you are investigating. For example, if you are investigating a specific educational video that claim that cognitive skills in infancy are enhanced by using a particular approach or method, you can then review and evaluate studies that focus on enhancing cognitive skills in infancy. Review the evidence for and against the use of specific techniques and summarize your findings.
