Has anyone got revision notes they'd be willing to share on approaches? Or just the assumptions of each approach? I can't figure them out from my class notes!

if you have the book, it should be on the top of every page for the approaches labelled assumptions.

Can't piece together the A01 for the Cognitive Approach! Do you write about schemas, theoretical models and computer models as separate things?

In spec' they seem to list them as separate things, so I would deal with them separately too, but state that they're all used to make inferences on mental processes (iyswim):

"The cognitive approach: the study of internal mental processes, the role of schema, the use of theoretical and computer models to explain and make inferences about mental processes. The emergence of cognitive neuroscience."

I actually find it useful using the spec' as a guideline for answer - you can use it to form an introduction and the contents.

The 12 markers are likely to be on the cognitive approach and the biological approach to treating/explaining OCD, also expect a question on the economy in research methods and lots of evaluation in section a and b, as there wasn't much in unit 1, so I would expect evaluation of definitions of abnormality or some of the approaches




What essay is most likely to come up on approaches

These are the 3rd specimen papers for paper 2 that the exam board have released but are not on the website:

These aren't my notes, someone else posted them earlier but I found them quite good so check them out for evaluation points :smile:
I think cognitive or biological approach may have a chance of coming up as in the specimen papers they only added social learning and behaviourist approach??
Never know though

I really don't have time! Have economics first thing tomorrow, any predictions for research methods?


Oh really, damn that sucks so much. And for research methods I saw a lot of predictions on twitter about there being field/lab experiments and so evaluate them. There could also possibly be a question where it gives u a method but then asks you to suggest an alternative one that would be better for whatever the aim is. Also, make sure you know your definitions for research methods! They might ask you to define a certain key term. Good luck :smile:
