Mind map of the memory topic for GCSE psychology. This resource is accessible for students as it is a simple mind maps but covers everything on the specification for the memory topic. I use the map at the end of the topic and get students to expand and elaborate adding their own information. They are also useful to introduce a topic, but also to help the students organise their notes and revision. This is useful to all students but particularly those who struggle with organising their notes and information. Suggestion: print on A3 paper to allow students enough room to elaborate.

Students to note down a definition of the key term. Students should also compare inheritance of a condition to predisposition of a condition.
