The idea

There are a lot of psychological studies. These tend to get summarised inline in journal articles but usually include information similar to the table headings below. Reading these summaries is very useful as you can quickly visualise a study or get the idea for a theory without reading a paper (or even an abstract, which don't follow a standard format). There is also knack to writing these summaries (which is good to learn, especially as a student^[1]). A comprehensive database of this type of summary would be very useful. I have a growing number of these tables in word processing documents (exported example) which I link to from other points in a document e.g.

Shallice & Warrington (1970) made a positive finding (green) regarding attention
- ... which had implications for Baddeley's theory (magenta) of working memory

I've exhausted the hypertext features of my word processor and I'd much rather keep this information in Wikipedia

Where would I put this information?
This sounds like a template ... ?
The biggest thing I've written on Wikipedia is the list of psychological effects, so generally ... Help! (Technically competent but need a Wikipedia intensive to get up to speed as quickly as possible.)
