Improving the accuracy of eyewitness testimony [AQA ALevel]

If you want to improve your psychological knowledge in a way that is more fun than just studying and trying to memorise, I recommend reading a popular science book. You will be surprised how often the ideas in these books pop up in your actual course! And you’re far more likely to actually understand these ideas having read about their wider context.
Check out my website psychboost.com... for my review of each of these books including why they will help with your A level!

tysm this video and all of your videos are really helpful you deserve more subscribes

[@clrky666]

In my AQA textbook it gives examples of what an interviewer might say for each of the four stages that are "(adapted from Dando and Milne, 2009)" I saw wondering if I'll lose any marks for not doing this and just explaining each stage?

[@PsychBoost]

you will be fine, may be an question asking what you may say, but that would be applied and you will have to make it up in the context of the stem, so no need to memerise.

[@clrky666]

@@PsychBoost thank you!!!

[@scarlettalexaaa]

thanks for this! in the exam do we have to memorise the dates of evaluation studies because im really struggling with that in my revision?

[@PsychBoost]

Nope, least important thing to remember (unless you're going to criticise it for being out of date) what was found and why is that important for the question asked and you're good!

[@scarlettalexaaa]

@@PsychBoost thankyou so much :))

Thank you!💜

Hi, would you consider making videos on stress? That is a topic that my college have picked for paper 3 but you don't have any videos on them however I think they would be really helpful :)

[@isobelhammond5684]

and forensic psychology would also be really helpful!

[@PsychBoost]

@@isobelhammond5684 I'm looking at putting some forensic videos together in the next few weeks. but not likely with stress in the short term sorry

[@isobelhammond5684]

@@PsychBoost no worries, thank you! your videos are really helpful :)

Do you need an issue and debate in each 16 marker? As I can’t find one for some of the memory AO3s, for eg types of LTM by Tulving.

[@PsychBoost]

Hey, to answer your question.
Issues and debate topics are useful as evaluations to use as back ups (when contextualised to the question asked) but there is NO requirement to use an issue and debate evaluation in an essay.
If you want to see yourself look at the markschemes on AQA's website. They will have a range of suggested evaluations that may include I&D topics, but ANY relevant evaluation is credit worthy.
Also another reason, memory is an AS topic. Issues and debates is on paper 3, so not a requirement for the AS level (but most students will be introduced to some of them in the first year). So I&D knowledge cannot be asked/assumed of students taking the AS level (even though few students do these days.)
Hope that helps nida!

[@SoloTitan786]

when will you be making videos on forensic psych?

[@PsychBoost]

hmmm, let me see what I can do. give me a fortnight. I think its probally time to look at the unit.
