Peer review

[edit]

In the introduction, I think it was a good idea to remove the quote from Alan R. Lang. When I read the quote, some questions arose so I think removing it was best for the purpose of being clear. The additions that were made fit well with the topic although, I think the paragraph could be made more concise. Overall, the paragraph was improved with facts and more information that replaced the quote.

I also appreciate the separating of genetic and environmental factors. This made the information easier to read and although the subjects do correlate, being able to read them as separate subjects as well as the studies that align with them was helpful. More explanation of terms that were added such as, loco-motor response is a great opportunity for more sources to be added as well as opportunity to make the paragraph more clear.

The section on biopsychosocial traits could be expanded more just because biopsychosocial aspects are very prevalent and it would be interesting to see what other information you could find to make this paragraph better. For example, another study about a specific addictive action could be added here.

I also agree with the other peer reviewer in that the description section could use subheadings to make the section more organized and easier to read.

I think you guys are doing a great job overall! ~~~~
