Lesson 1 – This lesson was all about the Raine study using PET scans to compare the brains of muderers (NGRI) and non murderers to see if there are any differences.

Also please complete the Raine APRC on p30-31 in your pack.
Group E have no lesson on Thursday – work set read p102-103 in your text book on animal research and then complete the tasks on p6-9 in your pack.
Lesson 2 – We recapped where we’d got to so far with the biological approach – you considered what this approach assumes about behaviour, -like it can be attributed to genes, or brain structure for example. We looked at the research methods used by biological psychologists, like brain scanning, twin and adoption studies and animal and post mortum studies. We then watched some film clips from planet e stream (put in my name ‘Fran Thompson’ then search). We watched ‘the secret history of the brain’ part 1 and reflected on the type of animal studies which were used in the early days of psychology. We then used this powerpoint animal research pp f and you had to complete p6-7 in your packs.
Lesson 3 – Animal studies for group A – text book, pro and anti film and bio pack tasks – timed exam questions next lesson!
Introduction to CNS and neurones for group C – you did exam questions under timed conditions first though 🙂
