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.

This is a revision lesson. It is designed to help students to calculate and report the findings of the sign test as well as define and answer questions relating to type I and type 2 errors. This is a fully resourced lesson with both a presentation and student handout. The lesson starts with definitions of key terms e.g. statistical testing and probability. The powerpoint then provides a step-by-step demonstration of how to calculate the sign test and how to report the findings of the statistical test. Then students are given 2 examples of studies which require them to calculate the sign test and report their findings. An extension task is provided which requires students to report the findings of 3 other studies using the sign test. Finally students are given a definition of a type 1 and type 2 error, with 3 exam-style questions to complete(suggested answers in the ‘notes’ box on the powerpoint.

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.

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

A fully resourced lesson covering 2 definitions of abnormality. The starter requires students to organise the card sort into behaviours/characteristics that are abnormal or normal with a justification. Then the powerpoint outlines the key aspects of each of these definitions allowing students.Students then organise the behaviours again but to include some justification using the content which they have learned. A short application task requires students to apply their knowledge of the two definitions (from page 135 of the green hair girl book). The final task helps students to evaluate the two definitions. This starts with two discussion tasks in which students consider the strengths and weaknesses of each definition and then they are provided with a framework (evaluate-student handout) to help complete this using the powerpoint.

A lesson to outline and then evaluate 2 explanations of obedience. A number of activities are included starting with a discussion based around the Nuremberg trials. This is then followed up with some teacher input and then an associated cloze activity for students. Students then complete an application style exam question (suggested answers attached). Finally there is an evaluation task where students need to use prompts to complete 'effective evaluation'. Finally students consolidate their knowledge with 'dominos' to review key terms for both the outline and evaluation of the theories. A suggested homework to review the My Lai Massacre is also included.

A quiz to review Explanations of Conformity, Asch, Zimbardo, Milgram using a jeopardy format. Excellent for revision, best used as a class activity

A series of resources for approximately 3 hours worth of teaching. The first lesson 'outline Milgram' consists of a video, summary task and paired discussion to consider ethical issues of the study. The second lesson starts with a review of the study and key figures related to the study, then this focuses on evaluation of Milgram with a framework using a P,E,E format. Finally the third lessons outlines and evaluates Milgrams variations including proximity, location and uniform. Within this lesson there is some research methods/maths embedded as well as an application style exam question. Attached is also a set of 'quiz quiz trade' cards which review all the content above as a plenary / starter or even revision task for students.

A lesson which helps students to outline and evaluate the cognitive interview. This includes a handout briefly summarising the cognitive interview, an evaluation matching task which students are required to identify the relevant point, evidence and explanation, an application task linked to a video clip of an incident as well as an exam question (with answer).

A powerpoint and resources to help students outline and evaluate the influence of anxiety on EWT. This includes a range of activities including creating a comic strip to summarise the 2 key studies (Yuille and Cutshall and Johnson and Scott), research methods questions linked to key studies, comparison task, evaluation prompts, 'spot the mistakes' model essay and a mini-quiz as a plenary.

A lesson which helps students outline and evaluate retrieval failure. This include a presentation which outline the key points of the theory. 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)

A lessons in which students will learn about interference theory (outline and evaluate) There are a number of activities embedded within the powerpoint including a summary of studies, research methods based questions and an application style essay.

A lesson (powerpoint and resources) to evaluate the working memory model (WMM). The lesson starts with a quick review task for the outline of WMM. Then the lesson include a range of activities including discussion based questions, experiments where students act as the participants to replicate research and ending with an essay plan

A lesson in which students will learn to outline the working memory model and also apply their knowledge of the model. The lesson requires students to summarise the WMM with a framework to structure their notes. The powerpoint includes an application style question for students to apply their knowledge of WMM. Finally there is a question and answer loop to review WMM which might be used as a handout or the questions/answers displayed around the classroom as a kind of 'treasure hunt' activity.

A lesson which outlines and evaluate types of Long-Term Memory (semantic, episodic and procedural). There are a range of suggested activities including some independent work summarising the types of LTM, a comparison task, and an evaluation task where students are given the 'evidence' but need to consider what the point and explanation might be. Finally there is an application style exam question.

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).

Resources for 2+ lessons which outlines STM and LTM memory (capacity, coding, duration) as well as research into these. The first lesson includes a powerpoint ('coding and capacity') and handouts ('jacobs and baddeley' and 'evaluation grid P,E,E'). The second lesson includes a powerpoint 'duration of STM and LTM' and handout 'research duration of STM and LTM' The powerpoints have a number of activities embedded. The lessons are excellent for student engagement with both of them requiring students to be active participants in experiments to replicate many of these studies.

This resource includes 2-3 hours worth of activities to enable students to outline and evaluate Zimbardo study. Lesson 1: A powerpoint and video link (approx 30-40 mins) for students to gain a good understanding of the Zimbardo study. Lesson 2: A review of the video and a detailed handout of the Zimbardo study followed by a 'bingo' style activity for students to review their knowledge. Lesson 3: A powerpoint, matching activity and model essay which helps students to be able to evaluate. Students will then consolidate their knowledge through a 'spot the mistakes' activity which when complete gives them a 'model essay' which they can create their own essay plan from.
