Was I right with the obedience factors beforehand? Mentioning mainly Milgram and his unethical study?

Yeah you were spot on! Definitely write about Milgrams variations :smile:

I don't take it this year but I am taking it next year! What do you think of it?

Well I think you will be doing the new higher. I am doing new higher psychology and I think it's a subject you have to be fully committed to. You got to do a massive research investigation which is worth 40% of your overall mark. You learn different topics to the old higher such as Sleep and Dreand and Obedience/Conformity.
I actually really enjoyed learning psychology this year! It's so interesting and really does make sense of social situations! It's just a lot of work! :smile:

I would start of defining the therapy you decide to choose, ie cognitive/somatic/behaviourists etc...
For example, somatic therapy includes chemotherapy, ECT and cbt which can be used to treat depression.
I personally would explain at least 2 treatments.
Also it's late so I apologise if this makes no sense at all!
For atypical behaviour, I am praying that difficulties defining abnormal/atypical behaviour comes up!

For memory I think the models of memory and theory of forgetting, day care and a study on attachment for early socialisation and I'm hoping for factors of conformity!

It's pretty much a cramming session tonight and I think I'm confident on the research unit apart from the evaluation of the methodology. Still I feel clueless as to what is going to in the paper tomorrow but GOOD LUCK to you guys especially if you've got conditionals to meet :smile:
