Scroll to see replies

anyone predicting which topics will come up? like questions which havent croped up in the other units?

Does anybody have summary notes of the sections in the article?

Doughboy posted a really good one earlier for the first section, just wondering if anybody had more summary notes for the rest.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

I'm pretty certain all the topics in the paper tomorrow won't have come up in any of the other units... especially considering this unit has never been done before...

Ah sorry, I wasn't clear, the ones in the text book, like Muller-lyer and the twin studies etc.

As long as you know the basics, mostly the fact that there are 5 main experiment categories for nature vs nurture
-twin studies
-animal experiments
-cross cultural studies
-brain damage studies
-newborn studies

And how each shows the importance of nature and/or nurture. We're probably going to be given information to analyse, so just bear the ideas in mind, rather than specifics.

And now I am officially unable to absorb any more information- my brain needs a rest!
Just in case I don't come on here tomorrow morning, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
I've found this thread so motivating for this exam, especially this past week.
So hopefully my input helped a little, and I'm sure we'll all do really well :smile:

Although I don't count the original post as a post, so I get a moral victory.

Unit 5 sample isn't bad... except for that really retarded final question [7 marks] on HIV trends T_T Too vague and open-ended IMO.
