Question 1

Providing generic descriptions of Working Memory Model or theory components without linking them directly to the scenario details (e.g. why Rory had to put his phone down or Ken's fear of dogs).

Accepted Answer

Use the characters' names and specific actions explicitly in every theoretical sentence. Instead of saying 'the visual-spatial sketchpad handles imagery', write 'Rory's visuo-spatial sketchpad was overwhelmed by visual stimuli, forcing him to put down his phone.'

Question 2

Over-evaluating the ethical issues of animal studies (like Lorenz and Harlow) rather than evaluating what those studies contribute to our understanding of human attachment.

Accepted Answer

Always frame your animal evaluation around theoretical value. If you discuss ethical harm, immediately link it to whether the utility of understanding attachment and preventing maternal deprivation in humans justifies or limits the study's validity.

Question 3

Restating or copying the exact numerical values from data tables instead of interpreting what those findings indicate about the experimental conditions.

Accepted Answer

Never just write 'Condition A had a mean of 11 and Condition B had 6.' You must interpret: 'The higher mean value of 11 in Condition A indicates that 2-year-olds spent significantly more time playing in the sandpit compared to the 4-year-olds in Condition B.'

Question 4

Muddled application of the two-process model of phobias, particularly failing to explicitly outline both classical conditioning (as the source of acquisition) and operant conditioning (as the source of maintenance) directly to the character in the stem.

Accepted Answer

Clearly divide your answer. First, explain how the character acquired the phobia via association (UCS + NS = CS). Second, explain how the phobia is maintained because avoiding the stimulus reduces anxiety (negative reinforcement).

Question 5

Failing to explain how to convert data scales (e.g., transforming interval data scores into nominal categories or ordered ranks) when describing Research Methods processes.

Accepted Answer

Clearly define the conversion rule. For example: 'To convert interval test scores into nominal data, classify any score of 50 or above as a "Pass" category and any score below 50 as a "Fail" category, resulting in frequency tallies.'

Question 6

Under-developing explanations of how to deal with social sensitivity (e.g. focus on ethical committees, framing of questions, media responsibility) and writing about general ethical principles instead.

Accepted Answer

Focus on research management. Explain how researchers must work with ethical committees to manage potential impacts, frame questions non-judgmentally, and control how findings are distributed to avoid misuse by the media.

Question 7

Failing to cover both concepts (such as critical period and internal working model) in equal depth in description questions, leading to a maximum mark cap at Level 2.

Accepted Answer

Use the rule of halves. If a 6-mark question demands two concepts, devote exactly half your space and detail to the first concept, and the remaining half to the second concept to ensure balanced coverage.
