Haha thanks for the motivation - OF COURSE I WILL BE! :tongue:
Is it just me or does anyone else think that the whole relationships topic is soo weird especially the whole parental investment and women are only after resources and men are after beauty and youth. I thought relationships would be really interesting to learn about but it's just soo annoying.
Can anyone please explain the reward/need satisfaction model to me. I just don't understand the whole direct reinforcment and reward thing. Preferably in simple language lol
Hey everyone, I'm just letting you know that the 2014 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 revision thread has migrated over to the 2015 version! :woo:

They are good but I think you should also use the textbook with the dog picture, if you need a link of it, just ask and I will post you it.

Using them both to formulate answers gives you more variation in your essay and less likely chance that someone will write the same answers, as many have the model essays, and all in all make a better essay.

lol, A-level psychology is not all that fun TBH. But as long as I get a good grade, I couldn't care :biggrin:. The mother wanting resources is relatively true though, just wiki hypergamy and you could read some more stuff about it.

Sorry but I don't do this topic(yet). I think people won't answer much questions until later one, as it's pretty early to start working, relatively, hard at this point in time.

But for basic reward system is like, say I give you a chocolate, if you behave. That reinforces the behaviour as you will seeks the reward(chocolate) and reinforces the positive behaviour.

That's very dumbed down and could be completely wrong or off-topic and not what you asked for, but I hope it gives you a basic understanding.

I think we're doing it backwards! So we've now (practically) finished PSYA4, but we haven't done PSYA3 :')
