Probably paper 2 as theres less studies haha. My worst unit is memory so kinda nervous for monday, I think its because I havent done it in class since January so I'm quite rusty. How about you?

Yeah and biopsychology is literally learning the A01 content and of course being able to apply it.
Worst unit I'd say for me personally is attachments lol
yeah memory has quite a few studies tbh

I'm sure once you go over it you'll have the lightbulb moment lol :biggrin:

Fingers crossed ay? Paper 2 seems to be concepts that can be applied throughout the units so i quite like revising that stuff. Ive been using a flashcard app on my phone called 'cram' you can search through it and use other peoples flashcards too and its great for psychology (and other subjects too of course haha).
You guys missed 'Research into capacity, duration and encoding'

You need 4 studies for them.

Jacobs (capacity)

Peterson and Peterson (duration)

Bahrick et al (duration)

Baddeley (coding)

roughly 60 marks onwards for a high B or low A.
Thought it'd be lower😫 Like B is around 55 and A around 60

What are you guys doing to learn all the evaluations? 😭😭

I find with evaluations you can transfer the same ideas for different studies
i.e. Internal/External/Ecological validity, reliable, reproducible. But try to learn a specific evaluation point for the studies ( all male sample therefore not representative) so there is a bit of individuality

What i did was revise all the key words e.g deception,bias etc and then as long as you know the AO1 (what the study is) and what these key words mean example that and then use your common sense and apply it to the study and usually the keyword jogs your memory as a cue so you remember the psychologists who did research into this. :smile:

Yeah that's a good idea but it's important that you know a study related evaluative point because the examiners also look for quality as well.
