For the two marker on why the strange situation is effective I said that there's high interrater reliability as ainsworths findings were supported by Takahasis too? Can anyone tell me if this is right?!!

All I put was about internal validity being high because it's a controlled observation etc:/

Nope don't worry about it, the other mark schemes state that a detailed and accurate diagram can be a perfectly acceptable answer and gain full marks.

Hey, thank you very much thats calmed me a lot , I have seen the mark schemes but there is no definition for a "good" diagram worthy of 6 marks.

I've attached what I've likely wrote for the MSM, anyone help see what mark I would achieve? That is, if you can read it! :biggrin:

surely random is as simple as putting the children's names into the hats and picking them out?

yes i think that is right, however i was asking if my answer of using a computer is right also?

Wasn't a limitation of Loftus research is it lacks ecological validity as it was done in lab conditions so cannot be generalised to real life

it's a field experiment.

Not sure what you're getting at! Inter-rater reliability refers to one study. In Ainsworth's case, this is a strength; it means results are valid.

Yeah it's cool. I said about random number generator. As long as you've said about assigning them a number etc, i.e. contextualising, you should be fine

Outline just means A01, when you need evaluation it states "outline and evaluate" so the A02 bit won't be counted

I didn't evaluate it either. I thought if we had to evaluate it as well they'd make it an 8 marker.
So does this mean we didn't get the full 6 marks? The question said 'make sure to include the procedure and results'

The evaluation was asked as a seperate question, and was only worth 2 marks i think? Or maybe it was 4..

For the question about mnemonics, did u have to use the example of the 10 words in your explanation or would u get a mark for a different example ?

I thought so too, however my teacher explained that the PP's came in to do a lab study, but whilst they were waiting, they heard the heated discussion and the man with the knife came out etc etc... so they were not aware that this would occur making it a field experiment rather than a lab study as pp's were not aware that this event was the experiment they came for.

That's what i wrote!
