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)

There are powerpoints and appropriate handouts for 2 one hour lessons. The first to outline and apply knowledge of MSM and the second to evaluate MSM. The powerpoints have a range of activities and instructions included. There are a number of resources to support the lesson including a video of Clive Wearing, application tasks (with answers) and an essay plan (and model 12 mark answer).

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.

A powerpoint which outlines how to evaluate research studies using the mnemonic GRAVE (generalisability, reliability, application, validity (internal and ecological) ethics. This powerpoint defines each of the key terms as well as examples (and/or mini discussion activities) of each of these to develop students understanding of these concepts. The lesson ends with a review of other research methods (sampling techniques, design types, experimental types etc) using a 'you say we pay' style game. This is where one student stands with their back to the board and the class describe the key terms to them.

Fully resourced lesson! Students should be able to outline and evaluate research designs (independent measures, repeated measures and matched pairs). The resource includes a powerpoint presentation (with activities embedded) a handout for independent work and exam questions (with answers).

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.

A fully resourced lesson to outline and evaluate two definitions of abnormality (Failure to Function Adequately, and Deviation from Ideal Mental Health) The lesson starts with a ‘teacher outline’ of Failure to Function Adequately. Students then consolidate and apply their understanding of the definition through watching the video of Denise (Hoarder.mp4). Then there is a short student task and teacher outline for ‘Deviation from Ideal Mental Health’. Students then consolidate their understanding by transforming the content into pictures and symbols (using student handout AO1). To help students evaluate the definition there are some discussion prompts on the powerpoint followed by an independent matching task. As a plenary and/or homework task students are asked to review ‘The Naked Rambler’ and apply their knowledge of these two definitions (and potentially others) to this situation

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.

There are student-centered lesson to help revise theories of forgetting (interference theory & retrieval failure. Matching Task: A list of statements which outlined (APFC) each of the 4 studies (McGeoch & McDonald, Schmidt et al, Godden & Baddeley, Carter and Cassaday) that students had to identify. Revision Map- A set of short answer questions which helps students to review/consolidate key aspects of ‘theories of forgetting’ through a series of short answer exam questions. Following this activity they could then complete a 16 mark exam question “Discuss theories of Forgetting with reference to the scenario” Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards) which review theories of forgetting (AO1/AO3) which students use to test each other on the key aspects of the theories.

Two 1 hour lessons. The first outlines & evaluates the Sapir Whorf Hypothesis. This includes:- knowledge retrieval starter Video to introduce the theory teacher led notes/discussion application task discussion & independent written task for AO3 The second lesson outlines our view of the world i.e. recognition of colour & recall of events.
