As I've been asked for notes on circadian, ultradian, and infradian, and two essays on maintenance and sexual selection.

:smile: Enjoy.


isn't sexual selection supposed to be explained in terms of evolutionary explanations =\
is anyone else doing

bio + sleep (told not to revise evolutionary)

agression (told not to revise institutional and group display)

gender (told to not revise social)

Risky not to revise these??

It's always risky to avoid revising certain topics. Think of the worst case scenario and institutionalisation comes up!

Don't not revise AT ALL, they might come up as a 4 mark question or something, unlikely to come up as a 24 marker if they just have

Thankyou! haa :smile:
Hi everyone :smile:

I have some notes on my website for Unit 3, specifically on Relationships, Aggression, Gender, and Cognition & Development. My notes helped me to get a 98% mark in the exam when I took it.

There are also plenty of sample essays on Relationships and Gender.

Good luck!

I think you do, i have! The spec has changed to something like you dont need to learn affect of adolescence or something


Darn.
If we get that as a 24 mark question, I'll mark the paper myself with a U.

Thanks for letting me know~

Hey guys I have juste revised ultradian rhythms and practiced writing a 5 mark answer and my structure seems very poor. I outline what ultradian rhythms are and then talk about sleep brain activity as an example etc. However it just isn't reading well. Has anyone got an example they wouldn't mind me having a look at pleasE?

Can anyone outline the nature of sleep for me? It's the last thing I need to get my head round.
Like what points do I include in it, is restoration theory part of it? Or are there other things to include?
RELATIONSHIPS

So, if maintenance and sexual selection do not come up. What do you guys think will?
Does anyone have any notes or an essay on disruption of biological rhythms (shift work/jet lag) please? Once again my notes on this section are terrible and the text book I'm using is very jumbled and confusing.

Restoration theory has nothing to do with it.


Nature of sleep you need to include aspects such as the different stages, the identification of rem and nrem, physiology of sleep, life changes in sleep. Etc.

Hope that helps clear things up.

Anyone else who feels like super confident on relationships, but a little bit weak on the others!

Hardcore week of revising, :biggrin: e-revision buddies anyone!
Aggression, Relationships, Sleepy.


Yes, that's why I'm revising Cognitive Development and gender hardcore and relationships last.
