A lesson which helps students outline and evaluate retrieval failure. This include a presentation which outline the key points of the theory. A handout which include 2 studies (Godden and Baddeley & Carter and Cassaday) and some evaluation prompts (with answers) to help students develop their own evaluation points. There is also a set of quiz quiz trade cards that might be useful for revision of interference theory and retrieval failure (useful as a plenary or starter next lesson)

This is a 1-2 hour lesson which should help students outline Asch's original study and 3 variations (group size, unanimity and task difficulty) as well as to evaluate Asch. This includes a powerpoint and a student handout/worksheet which provides them with key information and activities to complete during the lesson. In addition to this there is a 'blankety blank' style quiz/game to help students review the content of the lesson. Excellent as a plenary or a starter the following lesson to review the content.

The lesson starts with a review of basic research methods such as ethical guidelines, hypothesis, types of experiments, research design using 'numbered heads together'. (instructions in slide 'notes') An interactive powerpoint presentation to outline each of the 5 sampling methods required by AQA (Random, Opportunity, Volunteer, Stratified and Systematic). This is followed by an application task (worksheet provided) and an evaluation matching task (worksheet provided) both with accompanying answer

This lesson should take place after learning all four definitions (failure to function adequately, deviation from ideal mental health, statistical infrequency and deviation from social norms). It is designed to help students consolidate/review their knowledge of all four definitions. The lesson begins with a matching task with requires students to identify whether the evaluation points are strengths or weaknesses and more importantly which definition of abnormality they relate to. The students are required to complete an application task which requires them to read scenarios and identify which definition of abnormality would deem the behaviour abnormal and why. There are then two application style exam questions with answers (for self-assessment). Finally students one of two activities to review all definitions. ‘Numbered heads together’: (groups of 4 and ask them to number themselves 1-4. Put one of the questions on the powerpoint up and give students 1 minute to dicuss. Finally, select a number at random and one person in each group must offer some feedback. Quiz Quiz Trade: These are pre-prepared flashcards (see attached) with a question and answer. The aim is to have students work in pairs/groups to ask questions and answer questions. When they are the ‘question master’ their role is to check the respondents answer and to prompt for more information when needed.

This is a fully resourced revision lesson to help students outline and evaluate experimental design and sampling techniques. This is predominately a student led lesson with a range of activities such as think-pair-share, matching task, exam questions, and quiz quiz trade.

A student-centered lesson provided for revision of ‘working memory model’ Question and Answers ’ Loop’: This helps students to review the key aspects of the WMM (AO1).The answers provided (on page 2 of the document) were printed, cut stuck up around the room. Students were then given the questions and had to find the relevant answers. There is answer sheet provided. Revision Map: This helps students to review key aspects of WMM (AO1/AO3) requiring students to answer a series of short-answer questions to review the model. There are some suggested answers written in brief. They could then be asked to write an essay (or create an essay plan) for a 16 mark question “Dicuss research into Working Memory Model” Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards): These are flashcards provided for students to help students test each other on key aspects of the theory Cloze Activity: A ‘model’ essay which has key terms missing to help students to engage with specialist vocabulary within WMM and help consolidate their understanding.
