a level psychology help

hi i just started a level psychology and i really need some help. i underestimated what it was like and was wondering if any one had good websites to revise from i am doing the AQA exam board.

i also have this question to answer. Explain the emergence of psychology as a science. i started off by writing how a lab was created but dont know what else to add.

any help would be appreciated. thank you
I do AQA Psychology as well. For websites, I recommend Physics and Maths Tutor- they have essay plans, flashcards, notes and exam questions so it's helpful for a lot of things. PsychBoost on YouTube is also useful as they have good content videos. For learning content, active recall is key because it ensures you remember the content in the long term. Active recall can be in the form of flashcards, mind maps, blurting etc. Exam practise is key as well so you know what the mark schemes are looking for.

That question you need to answer, how many marks is it? I assume the question is referencing Wundt who opened the first psychological laboratory which allowed psychology to be studied scientifically (just giving some ideas about the question).

If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer the best I can :smile:

No worries. Sorry but I don't exactly know the answer to that question either, and I don't want to give you any wrong info 😓 Psychboost has a video on the origins of psychology which could help you answer the question?
