I actually like & enjoy Unit 3, but I defo need more work in Unit 4😫 Hope i get a high A for unit 3 and maybe a B for Unit 4?


Unit 3 boundaries are so low and I've averaged 52ish in mocks so hopefully I can get an A* in unit 3 but I'd be lucky with a C in unit 4!

Like what? :/
Ewt / CBT for cognitive contributions
Understanding prejudice SIT and understanding obedience (agency theory from social)
Milgram / hofling / meeus and raajmakers
Anything I've missed? I'm not sure if you need to know MSM, LOP, Godden and Baddeley

Im not completely sure, but i think in one paper i saw that it asked you to describe a study of obedience. e.g. Milgram when i thought we just had to know the contributions

Sigh, it's too much for my little brain. I think I've lost 10 marks in this paper, hopefully it compensates for unit 4. Good luck to you!

They are? That'll do me a favour haha. I'm sure you'll get a good grade in Unit 4, it just depends on how well you know the content and how to answer the questions. Do all the past papers!:smile:

Yeah! It's like 46 for an A*' I know, I haven't done any past papers for unit 4 yet. How did you find unit 2? What did you get last year in unit 2? :smile:

Model, older, primary reinforcement (as it said out for dinner) and motivation


I would argue that it was vicarious reinforcement, as it also said that the girl viewed her father being rewarded

Here are the questions:

There was hardly ANYTHING on psychodynamic !!! The only thing related that came up was why did Freud come to the conclusion that Hans' fear of horses was really a fear of his father 3 marks and to evaluate Hans in terms of validity 4 marks. That was it!!!
The 12 mark question was describe and evaluate the biological explanation of gender making at least one comparison to another approach.
Describe the procedure of Money's study for 4 marks and then evaluate it for 8 marks.
Results of learning approach practical for 3 marks. Explain one issue you had with reliability and then for 2 marks explain how to over come this.
Write a non directional two tailed hypothesis for a given study and then how could you make the sample more representative of the wider population.
Evaluate longitudinal research method 4 marks. Plan a study using the longitudinal research method, investigating whether students perform better doing one exam at the end of two years or several at the end of two years for 7 marks.
Describe biological key issue 3 marks and then for 5 marks explain it using theories/concepts/research etc.
Fill in the blanks 4 mark question on SLT.
5 marks on how could Oliver train his dog to perform in an assault course.
