but then you'll have a choice or three?
so do you think it really matters if you don't know it in too much detail?

and also can someone describe difference between type 1 and type 2 error in rosenhan, textbooks are telling me different things!

type 1 error is saying an insane person is sane
type 2 error is saying a sane person is insane (in the first part of the study)

-that's what is says in the revision guide anyways

as far as I can remember Type 1 error is falsely diagnosing someone with mental problems as 'normal' and healthy and Type 2 error is falsely diagnosing someone who's healthy as having mental problems (like the doctors in the Rosenhan study did to the healthy psuedo-patients)
If that helps?

Actually ******** bricks about this exam!
Tbh its ******* ridiculous, testing our memory not our knowledge on the subject.
Whoever came up with this exam is a dribbling mess who needs to pull his face off the window.

does anyone know the approximate grade boundaries?

psychological investigations - 60 marks
core studies - 120 marks

i think 80% = A
so 144 out of 180??

I went through the past papers for Jan 09, June 09 and Jan 10.

The section b's that haven't come up:

Maguire/Freud/Savage-Rumbaugh/Reicher/Thigpen/Sperry

So it'll be three of them...

And the only Section C that hasn't come up is Behaviourist approach, so it'll be that and one other.

I've attached Jan 10 and its mark scheme if anyone wants it :smile:

EDIT - Jan 10 is too big to attach so I uploaded it to a Zippyshare.

Agreed!!!

And it's not like you can ********* it like you can with other essay based subjects because they are so specific with sample/findings quantitative details..... T_T And I think the grade boundries will be higher coz I read the Jan 2010 report and last year's people did really well!!! :eek3:

To study the psychological effects of hemispheric disconnection in "split-brain" patients and understand the function of the right and left hemispheres.

Thanks :smile:

There's the Developmental Approach and the Behaviourist Perspective (which contains Bandura from the Developmental Approach)

They are different.

Aaah **** **** **** **** **** **** sooo much to remember. I've been doing revision for the past week and I'm still ******.

Any last minute cramming techniques?

Also any advice on what might come up?

I do hope behaviourist comes up, it's the only one that hasn't come up in Section C of the past papers, so i have mainly been focusing on that.
It's just the annoying/random section A questions that i hate >.< they seem to require so much detail for 2 marks as well :frown:
