AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

Original post by ebruxoxo

Yes ive got like 50 for all of unit 1 and i have roughly 20 to go till i learn them all.. and the last 20 is the most important ones (developmental) and i'm not sure how to fit it all into my head :')

I've got around 15 for developmental. What I did was start super early (like nov) and I just went over the developmental studies once every 2 weeks. Now i'm literally going over whole topics in unit 1 like everyday! It seems desperate I know lol

Would Hodges and Tizard and Rutter et al be enough to write about for a 12 marker on institutionalisation.

Has everyone finished all of unit 1 and 2 in class?
We are half way through abnormality and nearly finished social influence.

I don't think so. I can't work out how you would get 6 marks for AO1 and there are only a few generic evaluation points for it so I think it would only be a short question if they ask about it.

I think you could be right. I was trying to figure it out too, but didn't want to risk not learning enough material in case!

Do you think they would ask about the effectiveness of improving memory strategies and would it ever come up as a 12 marker?

I've been looking through past papers, from June 2010 up until May 2014, and there hasn't been any questions on Bowlby's maternal deprivation hypothesis or his study 44 Juvenile Thieves, or am I wrong?

Check on loopa and see when it came up and what date. Saj has listed what he also thinks is most likely to come for both units

I have a very strong feeling that the multi store model of memory will come up as an 8 or 12 marker.

I saw that prediction on Loopa. It said "The multi-store memory model is long over-due according to this table last turning up in January 2012. One to watch and the front-runner in my eyes." for the 12 marker. I hope it is the multi-store model of memory, because it's really easy
