Child Psychology for OCR A-level Applied

Attached is a powerpoint going through the relevant content for each topic of Child psychology which makes up part of the applied module for the OCR A-level psychology exam.

The topics are:

1. Intelligence.
2. Pre-adult brain development.
3. Perceptual development.
4. Cognitive development and education.
5. Development of attachment.
6. Impact of advertising on children.

The powerpoint goes through:

• The background including research.
• The key research in APPFC format with implications of the research.
• Applications of the area.

There are also various exam questions after every topic including part a, b and c’s.

This would make both a great teaching resource as well as a good revision resource for students.

It is worth noting, that topic 2 of child is hot, meaning it is likely that it will appear on the 2024 paper.
