AQA Psychology Paper 1 20/05/2019 Unofficial Mark Scheme

How many marks do I need to lose in that paper to get an A*?

idk what the mark schemes usually are but you might get capped by the mark bands

Yeah I did, and I said that's why we can remember 4 digit PIN numbers because they fit within this capacity

I thought the cognitive interview was pure evaluation? Therefore, you didn't need to say what the components of the cognitive interview were as that's AO1. It was looking for AO3 points so two strongly PEEL/PEEE paragraphs

That’s what I initially thought but I thought if you read the question it didn’t ask for evaluation of cognitive interview it asked for you to evaluate how it improved the eyewitness testimony

I wrote about Rutter and how institutionalisation affects later attachments and also Hazan and Shaver with relationships for the attachments 16 marker - hoping they'll accept Rutter because it was a bit of a reach :/

Social Influence

Resistance to social influence = LOC (High internal) and Social Support from obedience or conformity.
Ratio - 1:7
Test - Chi-squared because unrelated, independent groups and nominal data.
Social Change and smoking - Drawing attention, commitment, deeper processing, snowball, social crypotomnesia. Must make link to stem.
Discuss ethical issues of research into social influence - ao3 but ethical of either zimbardo, asch or Milgram

Memory
A & E
Evaluations of cognitive interview - Milne & Bull, cost, time-consuming etc.. (kinda got stuck here loool)
MSM but AO2 - Link to stem and talk about MSM can get a mark for diagram and evaluations can be oversimplifies LTM, STM and LTM are separate i dont think artificial would apply cause it's about real life material idk

Attachment
Role of the father findings - schaffer & emerson's, grossman or field
Economy and Role of father - assures mothers to leave their child with fathers cause it wont affect emotional development so less money company pays for maternitiy leave which helps economy
Influence of early attachment on child and/or adult relationships - IMW Bowlby, Hazan and Shaver love quiz or myron-wilson and smith for childhood. Ao3 - temperament, culture, pessimistic etc.

Psychopathology -
behavioural characteristic of depression - disruption to sleep and eating and reduced activity level
agoraphobia and the 3 definitions of abnormality - could use all but link to stem
two process model limitation - no clue mind went blank
case study question - missed it cause timingggggg
neural explanations of ocd - low level serotonin, prefrontal cortex and hoarding, left parahippocampul gyrus and OCD
eva = serotonin-ocd link no unique cause depression

feel free to add or correct

My evaluations sucked cause of timing and rushed psychopathology and attachment essay in last 20 mins. You'd think with that many questions they'd give more time but nah...

That’s what I initially thought but I thought if you read the question it didn’t ask for evaluation of cognitive interview it asked for you to evaluate how it improved the eyewitness testimony

In each paper?

Hmmm what band would you say??

if you look at any past paper mark schemes with a 16 marker with a stem, it says level 1(1-4 marks) says Application is limited or absent. level 2 (2-7 marks) says Application to the stem is partial. So if you didnt mention anything about the numbers at all then prob 4 marks, or 7 if you mentioned it like once or smth

I said as limitation that it didn't explain phobias not following a trauma so its only a partial explanation

I put Mann Whitney too! guessing that’s wrong 😭 whole four marks

Did you have to link the case study question to the stem because i didn’t? I just directly compared it to questionnaires

Completely forgot about the STEM in the 16 marker but other than that it looks like it has gone decent

Oh noooooooooooo

What was the stem for the MSM 16 marker?? Completely forgotten what it was but don’t recall writing about the stem, so could someone remind me?
