Delighted to hear that! 😀 So pleased the videos are helping, and I remember how challenging at times my university degree was, so it put a smile on my face to see that the channel is helping you to love psychology more. All the best with the rest of the year, and if I can be of any help along the way drop me an email 👍
@l0v3ka hopefully this term there's more content that sparks your interest, and usually in your 2nd and 3rd years you'll have more selection over modules.
Go for it Madi! Sometimes it can really demonstrate a higher level of understanding if you can use other topics in essays where appropriate - just like in the Issues and Debates topic. All the best with your studies 👍
You're so welcome! Delighted the videos have been helping your understanding. Hope you enjoy many more of them, and they help you knock it out of the park next summer!
Hi Sam. Pleased to hear the channel has been helpful for you. All the best today! I’d love to have the superpower to make all the paper 3 videos for you ready for that exam, but alas!
What struck me is how catastrophically I "failed" the tests! I understand it's not a competition of any sort but how greatly limited and non exceptional my cognitive processes are! That kinda brings me "down to earth" knowing I'm not someone "special"😊
You had talked about "paying attention" when you said "What you don't pay attention to, you don't see!" Realising these cognitive limitations, are there any redemptive attitudinal changes one can strive for?
Thanks for the honest and thoughtful comment. Firstly, be encouraged - by default our cognitive processes have biases and limitations and therefore the vast majority of people all struggle at each of the cognitive tests I displayed in the video. But I do really like your comment that it is a reminder of our limitations, and it is positively humbling to recognise this.
Good question! Might be helpful for you to unpack what you mean by 'redemptive attitudinal changes'... In terms of improving our cognitive abilities, I think one factor that goes a long way is awareness. The more aware we can be of how our mental processes work, the cognitive biases we can fall in to, then we can spot them and make changes. Often this will happen after the fact, with some reflection, but the more you do this you will then start to spot them in the moment they are happening. Planning to make a few videos on cognitive biases in the future, but for some more information on this check this out: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/cognitive-bias/565775/
Some of the Psychologist you mentioned arent in my revison guide (AQA Alevel psychology CGP) is it necessary to know them for the current specification??
Hi Tai. Good question - the only things that are technically 'necessary' for you to know are what is specifically mentioned on the AQA exam specification. They are not allowed to ask you a question in the exam apart from the words/topics mentioned in that document. If by 'psychologists' you mean the studies included in the videos there are no certain studies that you MUST know (with the exceptions of those named on the specification i.e. Milgram, Zimbardo, Asch in the Social Influence topic). The studies I include in the videos are the ones that I think are the most helpful for students to understand and remember for the exam. Hope that answers your question - if not do reply and I'll do my best to answer.
Hyy you know for behaviourism Skinner's research into reinforcement/ rewards could be applied to gambling and video games. How could this addiction of video games have an impact on economy? (4 marks) could please help am not sure how would i approach this question.
Hi Fatima. Good question. When it comes to questions relating to implications for the economy, its helpful to think about it terms of: 1) How it impacts people working. So for example, if Skinner's research/reinforcement has enabled people to become addicted to gambling, on the one hand this might mean that people are unable to work (and so contribute to the economy) because they have a gambling problem which consumes so much of their time and makes them unproductive. They may need therapy / rehab which takes them away from working. You could flip this and say that understanding how people have become addicted could lead to helpful treatments/rehab to enable people to return to work and so contribute to the economy. Or you could say that the gambling industry has become so big through addiction that it generates a huge amount of money for the economy (whether that's ethically right or not is another question!) 2) The impact on the NHS - if more people are becoming addicted this means that more people are going to need treatment/therapists - and who is going to pay for this. It could have negative impacts for the economy because it costs the NHS more, especially in the short term. Hope that gives you something to go with.
Thank you 😊. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. You'll be pleased to know that research methods content will be out hopefully in the New Year!
Ok so to clarify the cognitive approach states that internal mental processes like attention memory and perception influence our behaviour. But they can’t be observed so inferences are made on how they work through theoretical models and computer models Also schemas are an explanation for behaviour?
They cannot be DIRECTLY observed, hence inferences. Schemas are an explanation of mental processes and how we think. As such they can explain some of the ways we behave.
I'm a 1st-year psychology student, and I can say your channel has really helped me a lot. It even makes me love my major more.

This is so true! it’s helpful and fun! It’s the psychology I expected to study in and not the boring kind I go through at college

Go for it Madi! Sometimes it can really demonstrate a higher level of understanding if you can use other topics in essays where appropriate - just like in the Issues and Debates topic. All the best with your studies 👍

Hi have you done any playlists on the optional topics for paper3?
Currently working on an issues and debates playlist ahead of the exam.
thanks for the video! this was very interactive and helpful. would you ever consider doing research method videos they would really help too!!
Thank you 😊. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. You'll be pleased to know that research methods content will be out hopefully in the New Year!

Nicely done 👍
