Pearson Edexcel A-level Psychology Student Guide 1: Foundations in psychology

Reinforce understanding throughout the course with clear topic summaries and sample questions and answers to help students target higher grades. Written by experienced teacher and subject expert Christine Brain, our Student Guides are divided into two key sections - content guidance, and sample questions and answers. Content guidance will: -

• Develop understanding of key concepts and terminology; this guide covers foundations in psychology: social psychology, cognitive psychology, biological psychology and learning theories. -

• Consolidate knowledge with ‘knowledge check questions’ at the end of each topic and answers in the back of the book. Sample questions and answers will: -

• Build understanding of the different question types, so that students can approach each question with confidence. -

• Enable students to target top grades in Paper 1 with sample answers and commentary explaining exactly why marks have been awarded.
