Assume the reader knows nothing about the topic and it is your job to teach the concept. Be creative.  Use examples. You should not copy and cite a definition, instead try to explain it in your own words - the way you would explain it to a first-year undergraduate student. 

The objective is for you to explain the concept. Thus, I recommend against citations. If you do use citations please adhere to APA format.
