psychology pya4 how did everyone do?

Personally I thought the questions were good :smile:

, I did the relationships one, the pro and anti social behaviour and the biological rhythms one. The dissolution of relationships is always a good bet because theres so much to write about, environmental stressors on aggressive behaviour has a wealth of research to delve into as well. The worst was the biological rhythms one, I couldn't think of enough stuff to write, then made the classic mistake of just writing loads of stuff about rem sleep. In the end I ended up going on to talk about research into the disruptions of rhythms, is that ok? Do they mind you going slightly of course and bringing in other stuff? :confused:

hhhhhhhh

2 and 3 were good. 5 i wasn't expecting :s-smilie:

Waffled a bit. I spoke about siffre and russell et al

Bear in mind this is supposed to be the hardest psychology exam for A level so it will seem harder.

I was pretty happy with my questions. :smile:

I did
4. methods of investigating the brain
7. Face recognition
13?(ithink) Classical and operant conditioning.

Lucky for me those three things are what my teachers have been going on about for weeks, so all was ok. Just got to worry about biology tomorrow now!

I know not many schools do it, which is exactly why my teacher chose to make us do it! he's strange like that.. apparently the examiners are more easy going with marks on that paper because its deemed more difficult. Personally i found it the easiest of my questions. :smile:

How come you had no notes? thats not good teaching!

I did the questions on environmental stressors, biological rhythms and structures to do with emotion in the brain. Fail fail fail.

I did 2, 3 and 5, like many of you guys. I thought it was okay. Didn't bank on the predictions and glad as well! I would have been screwed otherwise. I thought the biological rhythms one was a bit vague though. You could have written anything! I wrote about circadian, infradian and how they are affected by exogenous/endogenous factors... anyone else?

Yeah I started writing stuff about the disruption of bio rhythms, cant see why that shouldnt be allowed, its all on the same topic :smile:

YES YES, i wrote exactly that

I quote from the other thread

"
Bio rhythms - Focused on Circadian and Ultradian, and how endo and exo factors affect them. Siffre, Foulkard, Czeisler, Duffy, Green, Reitman, Timonem, Luce and Segal + lots of AO2 with SCN mentioned"

Woop! Glad I'm not the only one. The question was a bit vague, so I'm hoping that what we did is fine.

I think we pretty much have the same essay!
