- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- 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!

Great video, thank you! One correction though, I believe that at 1:04 it is called polygenic rather than polygenetic
You my man, deserve all the subscribers of the world
I really appreciate the time taken to make these videos, will you be making them for Stress and/or Gender?
Hey, glad your enjoying them! Before this year's exams, gender yes I think so, but maybe around May. Stress not this year unfortunately. Maybe a in 20 mins video on the days running up to the exams but will have to decide closer to the time.
I would love it if you could do one of your 20 min round ups on this and aggression please. Or just all topics if you can :)
just in time for my exam !
Dude I’m so lost on biological I’m freaking out we have our exam soon and I don’t understand biological at all😭😭
You could say you're panic4thepsychtest
@@houseplant8540 true true🤣 luckily it was a nice exam with some easy enough stuff on it so 🤞
Just so everyone knows i believe something may have been added to the genetic basis of SZ because in my textbook it consists of: Family/twin studies, candidate genes and the role of mutation (the last one wasnt mentioned)
Hey, I recommend you always keep looking at this link if you trying to find out if you need to know a concept.
www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/psychology/as-and-a-level/psychology-7181-7182/subject-content-a-level
It tells you the concepts you really need to know for each topic. It does not mention mutation.
Biological explanations for schizophrenia: genetics and neural correlates, including the dopamine hypothesis.
The textbook may have given additional context around genetics; and you could use it in an essay. However, it is not a requirement.
That’s a bit annoying that my teacher has included it in our lessons! Thank you for letting me know.
The book i have says the ripki study was 37000 not 36000, which is true?
It is 36,989, and actually, their genetics were compared to 113,075 non-SZ controls.
It is *very important* you get both of these numbers exactly right in your exam. Otherwise, all is lost!
(not really, examiners are far more interested in you showing you know what the results mean than that level of precision)
Great video!
so helpful thanks
Please can you make videos like these for stress as well?
Sorry stress isn't planned for this year
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Why did u not mention diathesis-stress
