Study Notes
A Level Psychology Course Outline
- The course covers various introductory topics in psychology, including memory, social psychology, and psychopathology.
- A Level psychology also involves biopsychology, development, and research methods in modules 1 and 2.
- Advanced topics and research methods will be examined, including sleep and schizophrenia studies.
- Approaches, scientific approaches, and applied psychology will also be explored, examining work psychology and individuals.
The Year Ahead (Detailed Schedule)
- The course schedule details weekly topics, with specific page numbers from a textbook.
- Weeks 1-5 focus on memory, covering the multi-store model, working memory model, types of long-term memory, eyewitness testimony, and cognitive interviewing.
- Subsequent weeks explore other topics like social psychology (conformity, obedience, and resistance) and psychopathology(abnormality, phobias, and depression).
- Later weeks cover biopsychology, cognitive development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Baillargeon, and social cognition), and research methods (techniques, scientific processes, and data analysis).
- The course culminates in planned revision and mock exam periods to prepare for external exams.
Exam Preparation and Resources
- The schedule includes exam dates for PS01 (January), PS02 (May), and PS03 (May).
- Students need a textbook and a laptop for notes.
- Other recommended resources include pens, pens, pencils, erasers, a ruler, a calculator, and flashcards.
- Students are required to bring the textbook to class. Digital copies of the textbook are also accessible.
- Students should read ahead, as well as actively review.
Memory (Specific Unit Detail)
- The next five weeks will focus on memory as a subject, with a specified page range detailed in the textbook (pages 1-35).
- A lab experiment will test memory duration in short-term memory (STM).
- Students are tested at the end of the 5 weeks.
- Memory is further analyzed, providing a definition, exploration of short-term memory, and long-term memory. Key terms, the multi-store model, and Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968) model and work are examined.
- A student lab experiment is detailed that examines memory duration.
- A list of 20 words will assess STM, with both immediate and delayed recall tasks.
Lab Experiment – Memory Duration
- A lab experiment investigates the duration of short-term memory (STM).
- Participants are shown and recall a series of words either immediately or after a delay task.
- Data collected in the experiment will be recorded in a table, which should also include the number of participants.
- Results will be analyzed using a line graph to evaluate memory duration under different conditions.
- This study aims to examine how time and space might affect memory.
Memory Model Evaluation and Definitions
- Students need to outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory, including its AO1 features.
- Important concepts includes different types of memory, the process of rehearsal, and capacity/duration.
- Important concepts like storage and retrieval will also need outlining.
Important Practical Advice
- In each section, important advice about avoiding stylistic mistakes is provided and how to succeed in their studies.
