Assessment Objectives
There are three assessment objectives assessed in each examination:
- Demonstrate knowledge
- Application of knowledge
- Analyse, interpret, and evaluate
There may be one, two, or all (only in the extended writing 16-mark question).
AO1: Demonstrate Knowledge
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques, and procedures.
- Show knowledge and understanding of psychological theories, terminology, concepts, studies, and methods.
AO2: Application of Knowledge
In application questions, examiners look for “effective application to the scenario, ” meaning that you need to describe the theory and explain the scenario using the theory, making the links between the two very clear.
If there is more than one individual in the scenario, you must mention all the characters to get to the top band.
AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate
Analyse, interpret, and evaluate scientific information, ideas, and evidence, including in relation to issues, to:
- make judgements and reach conclusions
- develop and refine practical design and procedures.
For example :
- Whether or not theories are supported or refuted by valid research evidence.
- General criticisms and/or strengths of theories and studies:
- Contextualising how the topic in question relates to broader debates and approaches in Psychology
- Animal Research raises the issue of whether it’s morally and/or scientifically right to use animals. The main criterion is that benefits must outweigh costs. Animal research also raises the issue of extrapolation. Can we generalize from studies on animals to humans, as their anatomy and physiology are different from humans?
