Updated for AQA 2025 Spec – Teaching from SEPTEMBER 2025 onwards

This resource is designed for teaching the Factors Affecting the Accuracy of Eyewitness Testimony (EWT) section of the Memory topic under the AQA A-Level Psychology (2025 Specification). It has been fully updated in line with the AQA 2025 specification, which retains leading questions and post-event discussion as key explanations affecting the accuracy of EWT.

What’s Included:

• Fully Editable Lesson Slides – Covers leading questions and post-event discussion in clear, student-friendly language with embedded visuals, relatable examples, and key research (Loftus & Palmer, 1974; Gabbert et al., 2003). Includes “Think, Pair, Share” prompts and “Two Truths and a Lie” activities to boost engagement and understanding.

• Evaluation Worksheet – Supports AO3 skill development through scaffolded prompts focusing on ecological validity, individual differences, real-world applications, and methodological criticisms such as demand characteristics.

• Evaluate It Task – A differentiated and interactive activity where students sort evaluation points as strengths, limitations, or both, then rank them by importance. Great for group discussion and deepening critical thinking.

• Exam Practice Questions – Includes an AQA-style 3-mark question with a model answer. Ideal for retrieval tasks, classwork, or homework to reinforce AO1 understanding of Loftus & Palmer’s study.

• Fully aligned with AQA’s 2025 A-Level Psychology spec for the Memory topic
