Updated for AQA 2025 Spec – Teaching from SEPTEMBER 2025 onwards This resource is designed for teaching the Memory topic under the AQA A-Level Psychology (2025 Specification). It has been fully updated in line with AQA’s 2025 spec changes, which retain Interference Theory as a core explanation for forgetting in long-term memory (LTM), including the distinction between proactive and retroactive interference. If you’re looking for the 2019 specification version of this topic, please visit my shop. What’s Included: Fully Editable Lesson Slides - Explains retroactive and proactive interference with memorable examples and visuals. Covers key research including McGeoch & McDonald (1931) and Baddeley & Hitch (1977), and includes Think-Pair-Share activities to deepen understanding. Evaluation Worksheet - Builds AO3 skills with structured prompts to assess methodological strengths, ecological validity, and the role of cues in retrieval (e.g. Tulving & Psotka, 1971). “Evaluate It” Task – Students sort six statements into Strength, Limitation or Both, followed by a challenge question: “If interference causes forgetting, why can people often remember information when given a cue?” Exam Practice - Includes AQA-style questions (3-mark AO1 and 2-mark AO3) with model answers, ideal for lesson review, homework, or retrieval practice. How This Resource Reflects the 2025 Specification Changes: Fully aligned with AQA’s 2025 A-Level Psychology spec for Memory Includes proactive and retroactive interference with required research evidence Supports AO1, AO2, and AO3 through clear explanations, real-world applications, and evaluation Exam-style questions are formatted to reflect current AQA mark schemes and expectations

Updated for AQA 2025 Spec – Teaching from SEPTEMBER 2025 onwards This resource is designed for teaching the Types and Explanations of Conformity under the AQA A-Level Psychology (2025 Specification). It has been fully updated in line with AQA’s 2025 specification changes, which require students to distinguish between different types of conformity (compliance, internalisation) and explain conformity using both normative social influence (NSI) and informational social influence (ISI). If you’re looking for the 2019 specification version of this topic, please visit my shop. This fully editable lesson introduces students to foundational concepts in social influence through accessible explanations, real-life examples, and structured evaluation. It supports critical thinking, retrieval practice, and exam technique through a range of interactive and written tasks. What’s Included Fully Editable Lesson Slides – Covers key definitions, types of conformity (compliance, internalisation), and explanations (ISI and NSI), with embedded Think, Pair, Share tasks, class discussion, and a short video activity. Key Term Match Activity – Interactive retrieval task matching AO1 key terms to definitions. Evaluation Worksheet – Develops AO3 skills through guided evaluation of conformity research (e.g., Lucas et al., McGhee & Teevan, Asch, Perrin & Spencer), with a structured EXT question and model answer. Evaluate It Task – Students categorise evaluation points as strengths, limitations, or both, then apply knowledge to a real-world campaign challenge. Concepts: Real-Life Application Task – Focuses on Schultz et al. (2008) towel study with guided question on NSI vs ISI. How This Resource Reflects the 2025 Specification Changes: Fully aligned with updated AQA 2025 requirements for Types and Explanations of Conformity Includes the clarified definitions of conformity and social influence, including real or imagined pressure Supports AO1, AO2, and AO3 through varied tasks and integrated exam-style practice Incorporates named studies listed in the 2025 spec (e.g., Asch, Lucas, McGhee & Teevan) Provides opportunities for application and evaluation in realistic, relatable contexts

Updated for AQA 2025 Spec – Teaching from SEPTEMBER 2025 onwards This resource is designed for teaching Asch’s Research (1951, 1955) under the AQA A-Level Psychology (2025 Specification). It has been fully updated in line with AQA’s 2025 specification changes, which require students to understand Asch’s original line judgement study, explain variables affecting conformity (group size, unanimity, and task difficulty), and critically evaluate the methodology and ethics of the research. If you’re looking for the 2019 specification version of this topic, please visit my shop. This fully editable lesson introduces students to Asch’s influential research into conformity through clear summaries, engaging visuals, and structured evaluation. The resource supports critical thinking, application, and exam technique with interactive activities, peer discussion, and scaffolded AO1 and AO3 support. What’s Included: Fully Editable Lesson Slides – Introduces Asch’s original study and key findings, followed by detailed coverage of the 1955 variations (group size, unanimity, task difficulty). Includes Think, Pair, Share tasks, class discussions, application tasks, and a plenary on ethics. *** ‘Asch by Numbers’** Activity – A retrieval task where students identify how numerical information links to core features of the study (e.g., 123 participants, 36.8% conformity rate, 12 critical trials). Evaluation Worksheet – Students identify and explain limitations of Asch’s study using evidence, with an EXT question encouraging full paragraph development of AO3 skills. Evaluate It Task – Students sort evaluation statements into strengths, limitations, or both, and respond to an ethical challenge question on deception in research. Information Sheet: Asch’s Variation Experiments (1955) – Summarised content for group size, unanimity, and task difficulty variations with embedded tasks to consolidate AO1 knowledge and explanation. Exam-Style Practice Question – A 6-mark question focusing on the three variables affecting conformity, supported by slide prompts and model outline points. How This Resource Reflects the 2025 Specification Changes: Fully aligned with AQA 2025 requirements for Social Influence: Conformity Covers Asch’s original study and variation studies (named in the 2025 spec) Encourages critical evaluation of validity, ethics, and generalisability Promotes AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills through a blend of retrieval, discussion, and exam-style questions Offers relatable application tasks to demonstrate understanding of conformity in real-life contexts
