    CITATION
    The American Psychological Association uses an author-date style of referencing with details entered in round brackets, for example: The traditional approach to human cognition is over-simplified in assuming that processing is typically serial (Eysenck & Keane, 2010). Treatment of multiple authors: When a work has two authors, cite both authors every time. When a work has three, four or five authors, cite all authors the first time a reference occurs. In subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al. See: Kisangau, Lyaruu, Hosea, and Joseph (2007) found that [first time cited] Kisangua et al. (2007) found that [subsequent citations] When a work has six or more authors, cite only the surname of the first author followed by et al. and the year of publication for the first and subsequent citations.

    REFERENCE LIST
