I might have written 70% 25% 25% for Ainsworth, will I lose marks?

omg did u have to give specific studies? i thought it was asking just to state capacity duration and coding:'(


that's exactly what i did! i was so happy that i remember the exact cosine capacity and duration and then realised i didn't put any studies:frown: sure it won't be too many marks - i hope anyway

OMG! i wont about anxiety too! so happy someone else has to but i dunno if it was right at all x


OMG yes!!! i was panicking so much after thinking i had messed it up :smile: i thought working memory model was too obvious hopefully in the mark scheme they still credit answers that mention anxiety :smile: :smile:
Grade boundaries predictions???
Just to clarify I don't think the LTM has anything to do with the WMM so actually KF is the only case study for the WMM I think

No sorry, it said 'outline psychological research...', but i think youll get a couple marks stating capacity etc at least
whoops, for the STM/MSM question I started writing about STM in terms of the MSM like attention, rehearsal, retrieval etc. :angry:

I'm slightly confused as to what that question wanted as it just said outline was psychological research has found therefore putting the study's details may not have gained marks?
I just put about coding acoustically (Included baddeley in this) Short duration 7+-2 and 18 - 30 seconds.

Im sure that's worth 3/4
Also you all seem to be forgetting AQA don't take marks away from you they are positive markers they will simply ignore wrong answers or information

I put that STM is in a fragile state
Info is used for immediate tasks
Info can be displaced by new info
Acoustic encoding
Maintained rehearsal

I guess I wrote everything wrong. :colonhash:
I put KF and interferece tasks by Bradley and Hitch to test their model

wasnt it 70% 15% 15%
Original post by orlaaaxx
the 12 marker question for attachment was something like "discuss the strange situation in assessing attachment types"
did we have to outline it in detail? or is it mainly evaluation ??


yeah i was thrown off by this question. many seem to have outlined it talking about procedure, results, conclusion . but all i wrote about was evaluations :frown:
I didn't find this too hard a paper and wasn't particularly upset by anything. I wish one of the 12 markers was on Social Influence not, memory and that the RM questions were in memory or attachment and not taking up questions in my favourite topic. All the questions were ok but I agree that the WMM question was worded weirdly. Came feeling pretty happy with myself so hopefully that stands up on results day :smile:

Yeah it is, which is why I'm worried haha
I did the procedure, the types of attachment, the results, and why it may not be the best (mothers change personality, and it was only in America until Van and Kronenberg did the meta analysys)

to be honest, who even knows what they wanted? the wording was so confusing, i don't even think the examiners knew what they were asking :tongue:
