I think autism might be explain one or more cognitive explanation to autism maybe? Not too sure on social influence - may be something to do with ethical/methodological issues in testing conformity/obedience. I don't do perceptual processes

Remembering and forgetting looks vile.
I think so too.They're going to give us something horrible coz apparently unit 1 on Wednesday was easy.Do you know how you go about getting AO2s in social essays .For normal essays I know you do the strengthens and weaknesses I'm a bit confused on social :smile:

I seem to be getting 7-8 atm, I find social influence essays quite hard to get all the points, but I try to focus on points, explain them, link in to the question, and try to back up using evidence.

Yap my two friends sat it and one got a D the other a U in jan .they called me after telling me how 'easy' it was .Jan 13 looks awful I'm expecting something similar.
You know for social the essay on ethical +methodological issues do you have to describe all 3 validities and then maybe like 3ethical issues +link studies and make comparisons for AO2s?

I would talk about external and internal and use ecological as further AO2 as it is a type of external validity, in terms of ethical issues I would talk about the main three - informed consent, protection from harm and deception and talk about them in terms of Asch and Milgram study
