Re: Experimental PsychologyHmm i've never heard of the distinction between a theory article and a research article, but I can make a guess.
Some articles in journals pretty much give textbook-like introductions to a topic: http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/chem...color_2000.pdf
(As you can see, its not describing a particular experiment).
Other articles will mainly describe one experiment:
http://journals.lww.com/melanomarese...genetic.1.aspx
(just the abstract there)
I think this is what they are getting at. Basically you've got to find out from your uni how to access journals, you probably have athens or something of the like. Im not 100% if this is the correct answer btw...
