Which mark scheme are you after?

I have yet to do a past paper so all of them if possible ? if not then 2011 and 2012 please, do you also have links for any past papers?

Thankyou!

Can anyone give a quick overview on how HM and KF support the Multi-Store Model?

I'd say that there is evidence for distinction between STM and LTM from people with amnesia. Shallice + Warrington studied KF; he could recall no more than 2 items in test, but had no problems with LTM.

How would you go about answering a 12 marker on MSM model? Like what are some good A01 points? Thanks!!

The only thing im feelings iffy about is Cultural Variations. I could answer a 4 marker but do u guys think it could come up as a 12 or 8? surely not? it was up on June 2013.

-Proposed by Atkinson and schriffrin
-information passes from store to store in a linear way
-both STM and LTM are unintary stores
Then go on to explain STM and LTM in terms of their characteristics; encoding, capacity and duration. Talk about sensory memory and rehearsal etc. These are all good AO1 points, all from the mark scheme

Hope that helps :biggrin:

You could use the research by Takahashi 1990, describe the procedure, his findings and conclusions and then evaluate by talking about methodological and ethical issues?

Could you use research into encoding/capacity/duration e.g. Jacobs, Peterson etc. as AO2? or would it be part of AO1?

Urgh I hope cultural variations does not come up at all. Don't know much about it

I hope eyewitness testimony comes up as a 12 marker

Yeah you can, but I'm not too sure on those studies though.

Let's just say that I've had enough proplus that I now have the shakes and still don't know anything about the research methods

Not nervous at all, not because I'm confident :tongue:

but because I've done many exams the nervousness has left me I guess
