Psychology A Unit 3 AQA - 17th June 2011

Yeah thats fine, Remember you can also do the BOBO doll study and evaluate it, that will be like half a page?
we also learnt a study by Ellison and one by Rhem
but the stuff you listed should be enough

i've done what you've done in table form for all the topics. makes it all look manageable when its condensed that way :smile:

those topics have already come up. the sleep disorders and instutional aggression came up as 25 markers as well so i really dont think they would do those again.

alot of them have only come up as 6 marks
my teacher goes to examiners meetings and stuff so she knows what shees talking about :biggrin:

Ok, Sleep people:
If you are asked a 25 mark on the Infradian rhythm - What would you talk about? - this is all i know:

Describe the menstrual cycle (ao1) - endogenous
Descrive the role of pheromones(ao1) - exogenous
Study by McClintock(ao2) - study
Study by Russel - study

what else ?
the above would only take up one page for me :frown:

Would you get asked a 25 marker on purely Infradian rhythms?! If so, I'm screwed. I dunna, could you put about other rhythms? Or whack in some synopticity (Ethics, Gender diff. Cultural diff.) in each study?

I hope the question just says
outline and evaluate 2 or more biological rhythms :biggrin:

Yeah, usually their kind in that way, in Jan they asked about the exogenous pacemakers in one or more biological rhythms I think...

If institutional aggression comes up, I will cry with happiness.

highly probable.

For aggression evolutionary explanations are infidelity and jealousy both separate explanations or are they one big one?

You can treat them as seperate if you have enough to say about them

However, if you want you can do infedelity and jealoust all as 1
and then for your second one learn homicide, or rape (or wahtever else is in your textbook)

so up to you :smile:

Well, You would start off by outlining Oswald and horns theory (oswald said all stages of sleep are needed by horne said only stages 4-5 are needed, and that 1-3 are optional)

Then you can discuss studies, and explain how they support or do not support them, this is done through sleep deprivation studies, These are the ones i learnt:

web and bonnect (Gradual sleep deprivation in humans)
Rechstaffen (rats on turntables)
Case study of Randy Gardner (stayed awake for 11 days)
Case study of peter tripp
and Jouvet's cars

-your ao2 would come from evaluating the methodology of the sleep deprivation studies

And then if the question was to say 'functions of sleep' instead of specifitying restoration, you would talk about evidence that shouws sleep is evolutionary in animals (foraging requirements, predator avoidance, safety)

obviously thats just what my class learnt, Using a combination of the folens dog book, Blue AQA textbook and some fat red one.

One big one.Jealousy occurs because of the possibility of infidelity; males because of there's an uncertainty of them being the father of a child, and females because a cheating males directs resources away from them.

If the evolutionary explanation of aggression comes up I'm using jealousy and rape.

I am doing Aggression, Gender and Perception! I see a lot of people doing aggression, but not so many on perception! I wonder why to be honest as I find that the easiest of my three?!
