I need sample 12mark questions besides the specimen paper one - any ideas?

Can't remember which ones off the specimen paper so sorry if I repeat it but here are some we have done in class :smile:

1) Evaluate the use of the biological and psychodynamic explanations of human behaviour.

2) Outline the biological approach and the learning approach comparing their strengths and weaknesses

3) "Of all biological factors, hormones play the most important role in explaining human aggression, however they have little role to play in social learning theory explanations" To what extent do you agree with this statement

4) "The Biological assumptions show a greater understanding of aggression" Use theories from both biological and learning to evaluate this statement.

I just wrote about falsifiability and validity, no correlation.
