Is the bandura bobo doll study a key study to learn for paper 2 or do we just have to know social learning theory in general?

If I was you I would definitely learn that study and know its strengths/weaknesses (to then be applied in an evaluation styles question). It has appeared previously in other papers so id suggest you make sure its in the back of your head. :smile:

yep
I was wondering if anyone had any tips or exemplar answers for the Approaches essays? Especially for the biological approach, I just find it so hard to apply biological ideas in an essay for some reason.

I feel like the biological approach could come up as a 12 or 8 marker in the exam as I think it was the only approach that wasn't in the specimen papers as an essay? Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Bigger = worse results.
You do not need to know the formula or how to work it out.
