AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

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!

Yeah it does!
Do you mean because the investigator isnt there, it wont influence the baby's response?

Who devised the hassles and uplifts scale?

You won't get full 6. maybe 4, maximum as we needed to have talked about specific components within the stores

For the multistore model I wrote about sensory memory,STM,LTM didn't refer to capacity etc is that okay???

For limitation of EWT I said many were done in labs so it lacks ecological validity...is that okay?

PLEASE REPLY

Thanks in advance"

Asch (1956) carried out a study to see how lone participants would react to the behavior of confederates. He used 123 American Volunteers, with only one of these real participants in each trial, as the rest were confederates. They were asked to pick a line that seemed the odd one out from 3 comparison lines, named A, B and C. During the 12 critical trials, where confederates purposely gave incorrect answers, he found that 37% of the real participants also gave incorrect answers and complied every time, and that 75% complied at least once. When questioned as to why they gave incorrect answers, common reasons included; distorted perception, action and judgement. Asch then conducted an extra trial without the use of confederates and found that only 1% gave incorrect answers, so concluded that the lines were not ambiguous so that cannot explain the high levels of conformity. Asch then conducted further trials, using different variations, for example when adding another real participant, he found that conformity levels dropped 5.5% and when making the lines less ambiguous, conformity increasing as the difficulty increased.

if you want some advice learn the model essays dont do notes from class or books its a waste of time imo i found that essays is the best way any question that comes in the test just stems off the essay so one you know how to write the essay rather than piecing together info and another is it covers most questions in the test apart from maybe definitions
