Exploring Brain Abnormalities in Murderers: Raine et al. (1997)

The lesson plan is organized logically, progressing from context to detailed study exploration, evaluation, and a final wrap-up. This structure makes it easy for students to follow along and understand each aspect of the study step-by-step.
The lesson plan covers all essential areas (aims, procedures, findings, conclusions, strengths, weaknesses) clearly. This not only provides comprehensive coverage of Raine et al. (1997) but also familiarizes students with how psychological research is structured, which is valuable for exam preparation.
The lesson ends with a reflection on societal and ethical issues, such as how this research could impact the criminal justice system. This fosters a deeper understanding of the real-world implications of psychological research, making the topic more relevant and meaningful.
Also included are questions about Professor Jim Fallon who found during his research that he had the brain of a psychopath.
