I think possibly 16 mark on hemispheric lateralization maybe?

There was a hemispheric lateralisation on a spec paper so idk if that means its any less likely to come up?

If anyone is struggling with remembering the stats tests and when to use which then there is a useful table and acronym. PM for the details if you'd like it.

I've been told to keep an eye out for Circadian/Ultradian/Infradian rhythms. I think this could potentially work as a 16 marker, especially if it's like "Discuss research into Circadian Rhythms" or a question where it asks you to talk about all of them

is it possible to get a question asking you to compare the biological rhythms?

is it possible for there to be a 16 marker on flight or fight response?

I don’t think so, I don’t know any evaluation points really. It came up last year too with STEM as a kind of evaluation question

Yes it is possible because you can talk about the Amygdala and Hypothalamus, the response to acute stresses and chronic stressors/HPA Axis etc
For evaluation, you can mention the ‘tend and befriend’ response, research conducted is androcentric and beta bias, positive consequences of F+F and negative consequences of F+F etc
But, I don’t think it will be on this tho.
Hope that helps xx
