Edexcel Alevel Psychology course - Paper 1 Biological Powerpoint/Revision notes

This powerpoint covers the whole of the biological section for the Edexcel Alevel Psychology course. The powerpoint consists of 119 slides of revision notes made by an A* achieving student and covers the following topics:

• The Biological Approach
• Key Terms
• Structure and function of parts of the brain and neurons
• Neurotransmitters/ application to drugs
• The structure of the brain, different brain areas and brain functioning as an explanation of aggression as a human behaviour
• Raine et al (GRADES)
• Individual differences
• The role of evolution and natural selection to explain human behaviour, including aggression
• Brendgen et al
• Developmental psychology
• Freud’s psychodynamic explanation
• Individual difference in relation to Freud
• Biological KEY QUESTION (What are the implications for society if aggression is found to be caused by nature not nurture)
  Powerpoint can be used for revision or teaching. I used it for revision by printing the powerpoint off and sticking it on flashcards - the Silvine 8x5 ones of Amazon are great because they are the same size as the powerpoint if you print two per page :)
