Course Outline

This course includes all topics outlined by AQA for the AS and A Level Psychology. The following resources are ordered as they are in the textbooks, with the topics including:

Coding, capacity and duration
Multi-store model
Working memory model
Types of LTM
Interference as an explanation for forgetting
Retrieval failure as an explanation for forgetting
Factors affecting eyewitness testimony- misleading information (leading questions and post event discussion)
Factors affecting eyewitness testimony- anxiety (positive and negative effect)
Cognitive interviews

The first 9 resources are mind maps, each one outlining the aforementioned topics. This includes evaluative/discussion points.

After that, there are 16-marker plans. These are specifically created for A Level students, however the information included is almost exactly the same for 12-markers in the AS Level paper. Each topic has a general plan of what to include in an answer, including necessary information for outlining the topic, research which supports or opposes the theories/evidence provided, and evaluation points. You may know of other ideas or researchers that you want to include, but these plans give a basic outline of what should be included.

Following the 16-marker plans is a set of cue cards, named 'Researchers and their research'. In this resource, the front of the cue card has the topic researched (e.g. types of LTM) and the back includes the name of the researcher, when they conducted the research, an outline of what they did, and any other further information that could prove useful.

Finally, there is a comprehensive quiz on all of the topics. Most questions revolve around definitions, evaluation points, and researchers. There is less description in this quiz- it wouldn't be practical- however the previous resources should help you with your answers. Don't be discouraged if some of your answers are classed as wrong even if they are actually correct- I can only enter one correct answer, but that doesn't mean yours is technically wrong.
