3 Years of learning, teaching and tweaking has gone into this resource to help learners understand and apply Inferential Statistics. The PowerPoint is designed to be taught during lesson time and should take between 3-4 hours. It covers: Levels of Measurement, Selection and Justification of an Inferential Statistical Test, Observed Values, Critical Values, Critical Values Tables, Probability Levels, Significance, Type 1 & Type 2 Errors. All question in the slides have full answers or explanations in the NOTES SECTION. The lesson includes activities, exam style questions and assessments throughout. I have included a check list Specification for students and this lesson covers 26, 27, 29, 33, 34, 35 This is for Year 13 (Second year A Level) A Level Psychology Students. It may also be helpful for first year of a degree students. Resources The PowerPoint: Recap on Descrptive Statistics, Levels of Measurement, Selection and Justification of an Inferential Statistical Tests, Observed Values, Critical Values, Critical Values Tables, Probability Levels, Significance, Type 1 & Type 2 Errors.

If you have any questions then please do get in touch. Many thanks

The files include posters for a ‘Psychflix’ display. For each film or box-set there is a short description, the units it links to for A level Psychology and a QR code which takes the student to a trailer for the film or an article. (To scan the QR codes, just open the camera on your phone and point it at the code; most phones will pick up the code and take you straight the link). There are some ‘stretch and challenge’ questions so that students can watch the films while considering an issue such as ‘free will-determinism’ and challenge themselves to answer the questions. Psychflix: I got the font online (it allows you to print off single words) and then printed it out on A3 paper. I cut out the letters and glued them to black card. I then stapled this onto the notice board. YOU WILL NEED BLACK BACKING PAPER FOR YOUR NOTICE BOARD AND A STAPLE GUN. Any probs, please do get in touch via this website or on twitter: @blonde_pretzel or Youtube: Successful Psychology My students LOVE this noticeboard and it generated loads of discussion. I also think it will be great for open evenings as it looks striking and is a good talking point. PLEASE BE AWARE SOME OF THE FILMS ARE AN 18 CERTIFICATE AND YOU DECIDE NOT USE THESE, eg Fight Club and Legend. Thanks for looking :-)

This resource is for Year 1 and Year 2 Psychology A Level students. It would also suit any subject that needs to know how to identify, calculate and interpret Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion. This resource has the following handouts: A teaching video on Descriptive Statistics A PowerPoint to accompany the teaching video on Descriptive Statistics 02 Questions on research methods including descriptive statistics (34 marks) (and design a study for Year 2 students - 54 marks) 02a Mark scheme for the above The questions include: IV & DV Hypothesis selection Experimental Design Counterbalancing Sampling techniques (and advantages) Calculation of mean, median and mode The advantages and disadvantages of the mean, median and mode Interpretation of a means and standard deviation For Year 2: Identification and justification of inferential statistics test Design a study (observation) for 12 marks. The stimulus for the assessment questions is based on the concentric star experiment performed by HM. I’m sure you’re familiar with this experiment, but just in case you’re not… HM had his hippocampus removed to cure his epilepsy, however, it destroyed his ability to form new episodic and semantic memories. He performed an experiment where he was required to draw between the lines of concentric stars using only his reflection in a mirror (a tricky task). He got better at the task despite not remembering having ever done it. It provided evidence for a third type of long term memory - procedural, often referred to as ‘muscle memory’. I usually use narrow margins for my Word documents, so if the formatting seems a bit out, then change the margins to narrow. If you have any problems with the resources, please contact me on Twitter @blonde_pretzel or via my YouTube channel called Psychology Students. Thank you.

This resource goes into more depth about parametric statistical tests. If you are looking to teach Inferential Statistics for A level, please see my other resource: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/inferential-statistics-for-a-level-psychology-12029946 This resource explains about parametric test assumptions including normal distributions, variances and levels of measurement. This is probably more useful for 1st year degree level where they will need more information about choosing parametric tests. (For A level, students are not required to calculate variances etc) 01 PowerPoint for teachers (or students) of A level psychology on parametric tests (when to use each one). Includes activities throughout and any questions on the slides will have the answers in the notes section. 02 Is a handy choosing tree to quickly identify which statistical test to use (for parametric and non-parametric tests) and can be displayed in the classroom 02a is the choosing tree with blanks so you can easily and quickly test your students 03 Is a test on which statistical test to use. The test gives a hypothesis and experimental design and then requires students to identify the level of measurement, whether it’s a parametric or non-parametric test, which test to use and the reasons why. It could be used as a test at the beginning of the next lesson. Probably about 15 minutes due to the reading required. 03a The answers to the test (I get students to swap their tests and mark each others in the classroom, saves time on marking) 04 A poster on the assumptions of parametric tests for the classroom Please note, on all word documents I select ‘narrow margins’. Please ensure you have narrow margins selected to ensure correct formatting. Twitter: @blonde_pretzel YouTube: Psychology Students

Most A Level psychology text books have 'Can You' or 'Check It' type questions on each page. These are exam style questions that help you assess your knowledge. I have written answers to typical 'Can You' questions for the Memory Unit of A Level Psychology. If you're a student, try the questions and then check against the model answers. If you're a teacher, you could set the questions for homework and then perhaps get them to do peer marking using the answers as a marking template. Each file attached is split into a different topic from the memory unit and has A01 (describe), A02 (apply) and A03 evaluate questions. There are full 16 markers for each topic in the unit. CYM01 - capacity, duration and coding in Short and Long Term Memory CYM02 - Multi-store model of memory CYM03 - Working Model of Memory CYM04 - Types of Long Term Memory CYM05 - Explanations of Forgetting: interference CYM06 - Explanations of Forgetting: retrieval failure CYM07 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: misleading information CYM08 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: anxiety CYM09 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: the cognitive interview If you have any problems with the materials, please tweet me: @blonde_pretzel I have a YouTube channel that provides teaching and revision for Year1 and Year 2 A Level psychology: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz5zDmqyZg1mULhgXG96fow Many thanks for using my resources :-)

This handy revisoin timetable (Gannt Chart format) allows students to plan their own revision timetable from now until the exams in May 2019. Print onto A3 paper (single sided). The dates are split into Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday. They can then check every Monday and Friday to see what topics they will be revision over the next few days. They decide what when they will revise each topic from the specification, however, I have put them in the order that I recommend they start (eg starting with research methods which can come into any section.) Planning the revision could be done as a directed study task, or completed during tutorial time with help from the teacher. They should put their Gannt Chart up on a notice board (or bedroom wall) where they can easily check it every Monday and Friday to stay on track. I use narrow margins, so if the formatting is out, try making the margins narrow or contact me on this website if you need any further help. You can also tweet me: @blonde_pretzel. Many thanks
