wouldnt i get 1 mark it is kinda of a limitation because you need to consider the participant and the stress so ehtical are an issue tbh


You may get 1 mark, sure. Not saying you're totally wrong, there is definitely the possibility of it being credited at least one mark but like I said, depends how specific the mark scheme is.

Strengths/limitations for case studies [4] non reoresentative>> cant generalise


Influentialich qualitative data


Pilot study [4]

Define secure attachment [2]parent ia used as safe base to explore, high seperation protest, stranger anxiety and happy at reuinon


Strength of the strange situation [2] lab study >controlled> replicate


Difference between insecure-avoidant and insecure-resistant in SS [4] avoidant doesnt care no stranger anxiety no sepration protest resistant =ambivalent high stranger anxiety and seoeration protest

Thank you! Do you think i will get the marks for saying that a strength of the strange situation is that the investigator isn't present and therefore, there are no investigator effects?
This was a resit and i replicated as much of the essay as i can remember. Could someone mark it please? pm me if u want to look at it and tell me what u think. Thanks. (on bowlby)

Haha why does it matter i thought you had a Lamborghini anyway?
In the stress topic do I need to remember the actual names of the hormones or can I just use the abbreviated versions (e.g CRF instead of writing corticotrophin releasing factor)

Is this the correct unofficial Mark scheme if so i did pretty well also

For a limitation of the multi store model i said that the model os overcomplicated or simplified such as the features and the process of memory does this get me 0 1 or 2 marks please?

LOOL but seriously does my answer seem correct?
the strengths of the MSM i talked about the case of KF who had inability to deal with verbal info but normally processed visual info suggesting stm isnt unitary.
i also said schaffter suggested 4 long term stores going against the idea of an unitary LTM in the multi store model.
further i added that the MSM only emphasises the structure of how memory works and not the process compared to the working memory model.

hopefully this is 4 marks im hoping ?

Any predictions on what might come up in unit 2?

12 marker will probably be on social of individual differences- I think that it may be to do with research into independent behaviour (last came up in 2011).
What could you include for a 12 marker on research into independent behaviour- A01 and A02 points please

Yeah it does!
Do you mean because the investigator isnt there, it wont influence the baby's response?
Hey guys know any good websites to revise entirety of Unit 2?

Need to start today hmm

Yes I didn't include secure base either and as long as you've put enough detail in the others it is not essential to put them all In to gain. 6 marks; for your ao2 3 detailed for 4 less detailed will be enough
In the PSYA1 exam where it asked us for problems with Anxiety on EWT research I put that some people may have poor eyesight as ethical issues didnt seem to come to my head at the time

Do you think i would get any marks for that? as it kinda does apply in the recall process, such as those who had to recall the man in 50 photos after the pen and grease experiment

thanks

ah yes, thanks for the reassurance!
Do you think the PSYA2 Exam will appear as more difficult? I personally felt that the PSYA1 exam was incredibly easy - Maybe too easy perhaps!
