Major contributor seems to have a coi with the article subject, per their user page. Article is largely primarily sourced, and contains non-encyclopedic tone like She turned to neuroscience not because of an intrinsic interest in it per se; rather her motivation was to answer a particular question that required a neuroscientific approach., Diamond's courses routinely get glowing reviews and are top-rated. and (she chose the South Pacific because it seemed the most idyllic).

Revised the lede

I have revised the lead to use neutral, descriptive language and added independent secondary sources for biographical context. In particular, the lead now relies on institutional and government sources (UBC faculty profile; Governor General of Canada Order of Canada citation) for role, scope of research, and recognition, with primary research sources used descriptively rather than interpretively. Evaluative language has been removed or attributed, and no claims of significance are asserted without independent sourcing. Given these changes, the article no longer appears to rely primarily on primary or self-authored sources for context, and the basis for the

and

tags may no longer apply.

Note on “Highly Downloaded” designation

The statement regarding the 2013 review article “Executive functions” being listed as a “Highly Downloaded Article” reflects wording used by Annual Review of Psychology itself (Vol. 77, Jan 2026). The text is framed as a factual report by the journal, without evaluative language or claims of impact, influence, or quality, and is included for completeness alongside other publication-related information. The journal is cited as the sole source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Developmentalcognitive (talk • contribs) 19:03, 22 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
