Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA3 11th June 2012!
Sleep questions were outline narcolepsy (4 marks) and outline & evaluate evolutionary explanations of sleep (8/12)
Aggression questions were:
Outline institutional aggression explanations (4 marks)
The other one was on Group displays of aggression as an EVOLUTIONARY response which had the bulk of the marks.
I think there may have been one more for aggression - not sure...
Check psychexchange for further info - it may be on there. -

Relationships I think perhaps either Sexual selection or maintenance.
For Aggression I think Genetics perhaps.
no idea for eating behaviour!

I did it in Jan but want to resit. -

However I am doing Sleep, so thank you for your list!
How do you really think they'll ask us specifically ask us about lifespan changes on their own? I don't think there's 24 marks worth to write about? I was thinking that they'd combine that into the nature of sleep? -
Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA3 11th June 2012!It can be combined OR asked on its own. There is actually quite lot on lifespan.(Original post by hhh123)

Not model answers, but here are my (complete) notes for biorhythms, aggression and relationships for the PSYA3 exam. There's 5 pages per topic and they cover pretty much everything
