I have seen conflicting information, with some stating that the use of subjects is deprecated and the term participants should be used in psychology studies. is this correct, as the term subjects relates to statistical terminology. APA state the use of the term subjects is acceptable, but several sources I've seen state it should be discontinued? for example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1115535/ 

When should each term be used or is one correct?
