OP

Anyone doing the investigation to do with memory and chunking? Does anyone know if I have to use people of all the same age for this e.g. all pupils or can it be a mixture of pupils and teachers taking part? Also how many people should I use?

Hi Kelz i have done my investigation and did it on memory, i done my experiment on pupils aged 16 to 17, but my teacher said you could do it on pupils and / or teachers as long as they are all over the age of 16 due to ethics, i had 10 pupils take part in my experiment up to you to be honest.

Not yet, and I'm dreading it! I feel as if I don't know anything for Psychology.

Same! I'm off school until Tuesday so a lot of revision will be going on! Just got back from Psychology tonight and we were doing revision.

Research Methods NAB on Wednesday, not too worried as I think I know this stuff well. However, our prelim isn't until late March and I still don't feel like I know all that much :/

I never knew that. Was your prelim made up of past paper questions?

Well... we were told in all our other subjects that the prelim must consist of questions from all units... our prelim didn't... the teacher says we can use our NAB to make up for it... last years class didn't get any appeals because of this...

Normally they do a separate prelim for the unit that wasn't done in the prelim to make up for this.

Anyway, I had all of last week off and I didn't study, I'm such a fail, I just can't motive myself.

We aren't getting a second prelim on the basis that 'it would be cruel'

We get a second prelim in all other subjects though!
