Data has been collected from 13 participants. Participant consent forms were collected after participant information sheets were created. Data sources consist of: two class periods were conducted that introduced participants to the a positive appraisal of the critical period hypothesis (class 1) and a negative appraisal (class 2). A comprehension test was distributed to participants. All participants demonstrated an adequate comprehension of the base materials; essays from the participants that indicated their agreement or disagreement with the CPH; participant interviews that aimed to explore reasons for their decisions, method of writing, and other aspects of the multiple document reading process and essay writing process; and test scores from a comprehensive test on the subject matter of the research.Quantitative explorations of the data show that although the sample size is small, the sample follows a normal distribution and that the data may be analysed according to parametric tests. Initial qualitative results suggest three levels of engagement with multiple document reading. These need to be explored in more depth. The major finding at this point suggests that personal belief supercedes technical knowledge in the academic discipline. The need to pursue further research is evident.

从13名参与者那里收集了数据。参与者同意书是在参与者信息表创建后收集的。数据来源包括：进行了两节课，向参与者介绍了关键时期假说的积极评价(第一类)和消极评价(第二类)。向参与者分发了一份理解测试。所有参与者都充分理解了基础材料；参与者的论文表明他们对CPH的同意或不同意；参与者的访谈旨在探索他们做出决定的原因、写作方法以及多篇文件阅读过程和论文写作过程的其他方面；以及关于研究主题的综合测试的测试分数。对数据的量化探索表明，尽管样本量很小，但样本服从正态分布，数据可以根据参数检验进行分析。初步的定性结果表明，在阅读多份文件时，有三种程度的参与。这些都需要更深入地探索。在这一点上的主要发现表明，在学术学科中，个人信念取代了技术知识。进一步研究的必要性是显而易见的。
