Higher Psychology - 2009/10 Thread!

You can do the NAB's after the exam, don't worry about it.

Would you all recommend doing Psychology? Did you enjoy the course?

For those doing atypical behaviour do you know if it's necessary to study all of the models as it seems it's really only cognitive and medical that come up and those are the only ones I can do as I haven't spent any time on psychodynamic or behavioural.

Anyway the exam is on Monday so does anyone have last minute tips, advice? I'm panicking about this as I need it for Uni, but I have revised quite a lot. Specifically, could people list the studies they are doing for each topics, would be a big help.

Topics I'm doing are Obedience and Conformity, Attachment, Memory Investigating Behaviour and Atypical Behaviour. Studies I have so far are Asch, Milgram, Bowlby, Ainsworth, Peterson & Peterson and Sackiem.

So mainly I need help with studies for Memory and Atypical Behaviour please.


And Jack, if you give me your e-mail I can send you some Atypical Behaviour stuff?

I heard the Higher Psychology paper was completely new this year. My teacher told us not to look through previous ones becuase it was going to be different? I have no idea what to study. I'm doing Early Socialisation (attachment, bowlbys theory + privation/deprivation) Stress (GAS model etc.) and for the two essays, Social Relationships and Intelligence.

For Social relationships how many do u choose to write about, or do you need to learn them all?

Different how? i've not heard anything about that

One of the changes they made is that there's gonna be two 20 mark essay questions instead of just one at the end of the paper and they took out parenting skills in the attachment unit. I cant really remember anything else but i dont think its anything major. Its best to just study what you've learned.

I just want this over and done with since its my last exam. I dont care whether i pass or fail.

Okay, I've just found this out tonight and my lecturer at college taught me and my class last years coursework. So we didn't know about the addition of eyewitness testimony to cognitive psychology, nor daycare to developmental psychology, nor even the merge of both the atypical behaviour topics with the addition of eating disorders and treatments! So have been taught developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, conformity & obedience, and atypical behaviour: definitions and origins, without the afore mentioned changes. God save me!

Now that I've had this rant, I've probably wasted valuable studying time. Managed to get my hands on eyewitness testimony stuff and daycare sheets, but no eating disorder notes.

Can anyone help me with things to focus on with the other atypical behaviour topic and the eating disorders topic, which I think I already saw some before.

Wow that was long.
