• ●  Apply the concepts/ideas/findings from the study to different situations (e.g., “Will they be able to replicate the findings if they…?”; “The researchers suggest XYZ. How can this be applied to real world situations where…”)

• ●  Compare and contrast ideas between readings (e.g., “How does XYZ from Study A relate to XXX from Study B?”)
