AQA AS Psychology PSYA1/PSYA2 Revision Thread 2016

Original post by jackthb

aqa is an international company, the exam is done world wide, but not always at the same time. this means that international students can find the questions, or if a student is in isolation, as they have a clash with exam times. both unlikely circumstances, but not a chance anyone should be willing to take.

Oh so does that mean we cannot discuss the exam?

you can, but there is a chance it will disadvantage you. for the most part everyone is discussing it anyway, so you may and as well.

I think the questions were worded vaguely,
For the long term memory question I stated each long term memory: Procedural, Semantic and Episodic
Then I basically matched each memory to the people. Also explained them. However in the question it said
ONE EXAMPLE. I was sooo confused still confused.

weren't they!! most of the actual q's were okay, it was just the wording that threw me off. What did everyone write for the 12 marker on working memory?

I was baffled as to what it was asking, so i basically answered 'outline and evaluate the working memory model' and used two pieces of psychological research in my evaluation :s-smilie:

Did anyone else put one example for all three ltm's, I read the question many times but couldn't understand what it meant so put explanations of three memories and said that the one that remembered the tools was the one that showed all three is this right?

It was alright, but slightly confused with wording on the 12 marker about "Working Memory", and didn't really understand the self report question.

You had to outline what each: episodic, procedural and semantic memories are and relate to the 3 people in either of them.

Like:

Episodic is...
This shows that Germaine...
