The exact change
A quote attributed to Dr. Sonia Lupien describing glucocorticoid receptor activation and an implausibly convenient tie-in to 'high-stakes examination questions'; a quote attributed to Dr. Alison Wood Brooks on reappraising anxiety as excitement. Neither quote has a locatable source for the exact wording.
Both quotes de-attributed to unattributed prose, preserving the underlying, well-supported claims. The Lupien reference (Lupien et al. 2007) and Brooks reference (Brooks 2014) in the reference list were retained since they accurately support the general claims and were not the source of the unverified pull-quotes.
Suggested change
De-attributed both quotes to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claims; retained the legitimate Lupien and Brooks academic paper references since they support the general claims accurately and were not the direct source of the fabricated pull-quote sentences.
Why this is better
Removed unverified direct-quote attributions to real researchers whose actual published wording does not match; kept the legitimate supporting citations.
