AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2015

Does anyone have predictions for 24 markers for topics:
Aggression
Schizophrenia
Perception
Cognitive development?

Need help with Sleep:

Do we need to know all sleep disorders? I.e. Insomnia, sleep walking AND narcolepsy. Or just one of them??? Can we be asked questions on individual disorders?

You can get a 24 mark essay on either one of the three disorders so it's best to prepare for all three instead of one so you don't lose out. Or you could get asked for one on both narcolepsy and sleep walking together.

Hope this helps

How are you guys revising for media psychology?

Write out the entire essays and put each important point into a bullet point. Acronyms are your next best friend.

How are you guys revising for media psychology?

Hi guys,
I have compressed addiction for UNIT 4 into revision chunks.

I will attach some of it now

I'm finding this tricky as well as I don't know how many studies to learn...I've started doing every topic as if it's a 24 marker as it's better to know too much than too little

Ikr! My teacher recommended 4. But as each study is worth 2 marks I don't know whether to learn 3 because that would equate to 6 marks if we were to get a 10 mark...but yeah as you say better to know more

I initially thought I could learn like 2 or 3 but then looking at the 10 mark application questions makes me think we might need to know more so we can support whatever "suggestions" we make (e.g. To TV advert company or whatever scenario they give us) with research...it's so hard to know!

Media is so awful I hate it :/

I find the topic interesting but there are so many little studies which is just irritating!

Hey guys, I've got an idea that might help us to revise. So, I'm sure you've all heard the idea that you learn things best when you can teach them to others? Well, how about we find someone else doing the same topics (e.g. schizophrenia) we are, and then we just talk each other through the theories, evaluations, etc. as if we were teaching them?

If you'd be interested in giving this a try, reply with the following details and try and find someone else who you think would be a good match to revise with (e.g. same topics, same preferred method of communication, etc.)

PSYA3 Topics:
PSYA4 Topics:
Preferred method of communication: Skype/Facebook/.../No preference

------------------------

Here's mine:

PSYA3 Topics: Biological Rhythms, Aggression, Relationships
PSYA4 Topics: Schizophrenia, Addiction, Research Methods
Preferred method of communication:​ No preference
