Here’s some Biopsychology Y13 Psychos 👍

Here we go Y13 Psychos- more Biopsychology 🧠

Approaches: Introspection in steps: 1. Ppts trained to systematically report their own experience 2. Ppts focus on a stimulus (e.g. metronome) 3. ..and on one mental process (e.g. memory) 4. Ppts produce report as trained 5. Wundt can now compare reports to generate theories

Approaches: Evaluating introspection: ✅ Wundt was influential in making attempts to understand the mind an empirical science (as opposed to a matter for philosophers) ❎ Critics argued that studying ‘private’ mental processes was unscientific as it can’t be checked & verified

Approaches: The Behavioural Approach marked a rebellion against psychology being focused on ‘private’ internal mental processes & a move towards psychology being focused on external behaviour which can be observed and checked: a true science. Key names: Pavlov, Watson & Skinner

Approaches: Behaviourists explain all behaviour in terms of learning from the environment. They assume all animals (inc. humans) learn (or are ‘conditioned’) in the same way Pavlov demonstrated classical conditioning (learning by association) in dogs 👇 #alevelpsychology

Here’s the confirmed timetable for summer 2021 exams > bit.ly/36JnkdR

If you are looking for wider reading for your UCAS statement I recommend Drama Queen by @Sara_Rose_G . Its a lovely book that is funny & insightful. I have one student already reading this. I will be posting other recommendations throughout the summer.

Year 12 you have been fantastic this week. Remember to follow the advice given in class regarding your question on definitions.

It’s been fantastic to see our prospective students this morning The Cheadle College and a big thank you to our fantastic subject ambassadors, you did a great job.
