Possible 12 mark questions

Yo,

‘Of all biological factors, hormones play the most important role in explaining human aggression, however they have little role to play in social learning theory explanations’. To what extent do you agree with this statement? (12)


  • You could use any of the other biological factors e.g brains or Psychodynamic


Compare Milgram’s study against a classic study from Cognitive Psychology (12)

Compare Observations to Correlations (12)

Compare a contemporary study that you’ve done in Cognitive Psychology study against a classic study from Social Psychology (12)

Compare a classic study that you’ve done in Cognitive Psychology study against a classic study from Social Psychology (12)

Compare a classic study that you’ve done in Learning Psychology study against a classic study from BiologicalPsychology (12)

To what extent is human behaviour derived from nature or nurture (12)

So it looks like you may have to compare studies, theories/explanations, research methods...

KOP!

-Your revision should be spaced from now until the exam- not all just crammed in during the last few weeks
-This lets you do less revision on a daily basis and works inline with the process of your memory to assist you in remembering
-Revision includes- Consolidating/summarizing notes (not copying word for word), testing yourself, planning exam questions, working on your exam style
-You don’t have to follow this plan exactly, it is an example
-This will take you more time at the start (i.e. first time revisiting, summarizing) but then each successive one should be quicker and focusing on testing and using your knowledge
