Week 2 - Research Methods

Session 3,4 & 5 - Research Methods => 'Project Nim

Students will view the film, 'Project Nim' and complete the relevant viewing sheet.

HOLIDAY HOMEWORK OUTLINE


·       Ensure that ALL Chapter Tests and relevant Learning Activities from the textbook are completed => this is material from Chapter 1 through to Chapter 9.

·       Complete Chapter Summaries => include the key terms / concepts within the chapter. The process of reading and distilling the information is extremely beneficial.

·       I have emailed through 3 'old' mid-year exams (in ‘Revision Materials’ folder) for you to complete over the break. These exams include PLENTY of multiple-choice questions and a variety of short answer / extended answer questions. While you are completing the exams, be sure to reference the study design changes document as some of the questions in the exams will not be in the new / modified study design.

·       Use the 2013 - 2016 Psychology Study Design (in ‘Revision Materials’ folder) as a reference point for some 'traffic lighting'. It's a great technique to give you a real idea / assessment on what areas you need to revisit and revise. Basically go through each dot point and dash underneath the dot point, on the study design and using a green (good / no problems), orange (ok - further look required) or red (must revisit) marker, highlight where you are currently at. 

For example: 
the effects of total and partial sleep deprivation:
– loss of REM and NREM sleep
– sleep recovery patterns including amount of sleep required, REM rebound and microsleeps
– sleep-wake cycle shifts during adolescence compared with child and adult sleep including

delayed onset of sleep and need for sleep

Please be sure to send through an email if you require help or would like me to mark some of your work - this is important.
