<p>• This PowerPoint explains the work of Dr Jonathan Grainger, a cognitive psychologist who is using experimental techniques to determine how skilled readers process words and sentences.<br />
• This resource also contains an interview with Dr Grainger and advice about careers in this field. If you or your students have a question for him, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. Dr Grainger will reply!<br />
• The Ppt. contains ‘talking points’ to prompt students to reflect on Dr Grainger’s work, career path and the tips he offers.</p>
<p>This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).</p>

<p>This is a collection of exam questions for the new AQA Psychology specification (2016) focused on the topic of cognitive psych/ memory. <strong>I also have made workbooks for attachment, social psych and psychopathology - if you liked this then don’t miss them - linked below!!</strong><br />
The questions are usefully grouped so that once you have revised the topic you can test yourself on a range of questions that have appeared in the past, giving you ample opportunities to get familiar with the types of questions the exam board have asked in the past and no doubt will again.<br />
Even students who can recite their notes off by heart may struggle to achieve the top grades because they have poor exam technique, but this workbook is the ideal resource to improve exam technique simply by practicing!</p>
<p>I have meticulously gone through past papers for the old specification and carefully selected the most relevant questions to the new spec, allowing students to prepare for exam questions that are likely to reappear. I found this very useful on the way to getting an A*.</p>
<p>I also have these workbooks for attachment, social psychology and psychopathology-<br />
