Thanks Oliver - coming from a teacher like yourself that means a lot 😀 Hope you find the videos helpful for you and yourself. Hoping to have more resources available to help teachers and students this year.
hi sir, I commented a while ago on how I got 23/24 on my memory unit assessment, just want to give you a little update. We had our internal mock exams for paper 1 last month and I just received my results- an A* (80/96) before finding your videos I was scraping Es and Ds! Im currently in y12 and will definitely be using your videos till the end of my A level course. Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it so much, because of these videos I will be able to apply for my competitive course at uni next year! The only thing which I feel would be even more beneficial is if you could do some past paper videos or help us write some extended answers. But genuinely thankyou so much! remember me when you are famous!
That's GREAT news! So pleased to hear of your success - thank you for sharing! Truly delighted to read that the videos have helped you - you've obviously been working really hard - well done you! Thanks for the video suggestions - don't worry - I have plans to make past paper videos and videos on essay writing so I hope they are as helpful for you as the other videos have been. Do keep me updated on how you are doing throughout the rest of the course - if you have any questions or further suggestions for video content let me know :)
@@BearitinMINDlittle update was only a mark off from an A* in psychopathology unit test made a silly mistake not being more comparative in my answers but your videos save my grades every time tbh 🙏🏽
Congratulations! Very well done. That's a fantastic score. Really pleased the videos have been helping. You'll also see that there are some past paper videos now on that channel that I hope you find helpful.
luckily i found your videos in yr 12 and have been going through all of them, the way you explain each topic in detail but still make it interesting baffles me. Thank you so much for your videos it's honestly a blessing to earth!!!!
Delighted to hear that the videos have been so helpful for you 😊 Really appreciate you leaving such a kind and encouraging comment. Hope the channel continues to help you next year to SMASH those summer exams!
This is great! would be amazing if you could cover how developments in cognitive psychology and neuroscience have influenced dementia care. There is SO much information out there and I am totally stumped for my assignment because the word count is annoyingly restrictive ! Thanks for the amazing lesson! (Better than most irl teachers I've had tbh)
Hi Emma - glad you found the video helpful! And what a cool suggestion for a video. Like you said, HUGE topic with so much research - always a good idea to try to pick a really specific aspect of it so that it makes your assignment have a focus - easier to filter the research that way. It would be really consider the historical story and development of our understanding of the condition. TIP - if you haven't read so already worth, a look at the work of Oliver Sack's: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/03/04/how-much-a-dementia-patient-needs-to-know www.oliversacks.com/dementia-unexpected-stories-of-the-mind/ www.thetimes.co.uk/article/what-oliver-sackss-patients-taught-him-about-dementia-everything-in-its-place-book-extract-c9bqtld72 www.openculture.com/2018/12/music-can-awaken-patients-alzheimers-dementia.html
Thanks, this is really helpful, I'll see if the library have any of his books! Maybe I'll see that dementia video at some point, probably too late for the assignment but fascinating all the same. Thanks so much again!!
When I was initially taught this, nothing seemed to stick but this video has made it so much easier for a lot of the content to stick and for me to understand all of it - thanks a lot! Also, you mentioned 7 criteria to determine when someone is not coping so do we need to memorise all 7? Additionally, would you consider your videos only a summary of the topics we need to learn or would the content in your videos alone be enough to achieve high grades? How exactly should I use your videos to help me with my revision? I watched your recent video related to revision but I'm still not 100% confident I know how to apply this to that as watching videos is the most effective way I understand content.
Glad the video has helped! In terms of Failure to Function Adequately, and Rosenhan and Seligman's (1989) 7 criteria, at A-level there is so much POSSIBLE content you could cover that it becomes to much, that's why I chose two of them to include to help students further explain what the definition means. So you won't be asked directly about the 7 criteria but helpful to now a few so that you can describe it. In terms of using the videos to help you revise - firstly always start with trying to understand the content, then move on to different forms of active recall - i've recently made a few videos about how to revise that I'll link below in case you haven't seen both. 1. Study habits ruining your grades: ruclips.net/video/mBs2AvZth4A/видео.html 2. How to Transform your grades | Effective study techniques ruclips.net/video/9moTdlz2Aro/видео.html The main point is that you only know if you know something if you test yourself. If you say that 'watching videos is the most effective way you understand content' you need to remember that watching videos, whilst helpful for understanding content, is only passive learning. What you need to do next is see how much of that video you can recall. Grab a blank piece of paper and write down as much as you can from the entire video. That will reveal to you how much ACTUALLY now. Then repeat until you can recall the whole thing. Hope that helps!
Thanks Sophie 😊 Got plans to cover exam questions and exam papers in the coming months so look out them. Is there anything you are specifically looking for (eg. Topic? Types of questions? Full exam paper walk throughs?)
thank you so much for this video! my psychology teacher has been absent for a mock, meaning we had to self teach psychopathology and these videos make it so much easier rather than copying from a textbook. may I ask if you will be covering the options in psychology e.g gender schizophrenia and forensic psych?
Delighted the videos have been able to help you during this time 😊 Plans to cover Paper 3 are in the works. Forensics will most likely be the first topic i'll cover.
Thanks Christopher👍 It would be more accurate to say “his estimated IQ” - do you have a suggestion for some one else who is as well known that students might be able to use to illustrate that definition?
@@christopheraaron1255 I'll put you down on my list ;) I think Stephen Hawking is another example of an estimated IQ - he was obviously incredibly intelligent and presumably would score highly on IQ measurements, but from what I can find there is no official record of his IQ.
Don't know how I missed that - hope this helps: One strength of this definition is that it is very comprehensive. This is because it outlines a wide range of criteria which consider many of the reasons that people may struggle with their mental health or be identified for needing help and support. This makes the definition very useful for setting goals for patients and in providing the most appropriate treatment/support. Therefore, it could be argued that this definition is more useful for suggesting ways to improve compared to simply the statistical deviation definition because that only identifies abnormality.

The entire videos editing, explanation, structure, layout and production is top tier. Thank you for the lesson. :)
Hi Arman :) A pleasure - thank you for your really kind and encouraging comment - much appreciated.
As a psychology teacher of 13 years experience I'm blown away by the quality of this channel. Fantastic educational resource for the AQA spec.

love your vidoes, could you do some going through exam questions
Thanks Sophie 😊 Got plans to cover exam questions and exam papers in the coming months so look out them. Is there anything you are specifically looking for (eg. Topic? Types of questions? Full exam paper walk throughs?)
Thank you so much. Essays and past paper walkthroughs would be really useful.honestly your videos are amazing
Thanks for the suggestions @@shulimiron6415 👍 Glad you're enjoying the videos!

Top-quality lecture (:
Thank you very much 😊 That’s really nice of you to say - I appreciate your comment!
We have no idea what Einstein's IQ was, he never took a test.
Thanks Christopher👍 It would be more accurate to say “his estimated IQ” - do you have a suggestion for some one else who is as well known that students might be able to use to illustrate that definition?
@@BearitinMIND well, mine's pretty high (I'm joking).
I honestly can't think of anyone who definitely has their IQ on record. Stephen Hawking?
@@christopheraaron1255 I'll put you down on my list ;)
I think Stephen Hawking is another example of an estimated IQ - he was obviously incredibly intelligent and presumably would score highly on IQ measurements, but from what I can find there is no official record of his IQ.
Didn't give strengths for the last definition
Don't know how I missed that - hope this helps:
One strength of this definition is that it is very comprehensive. This is because it outlines a wide range of criteria which consider many of the reasons that people may struggle with their mental health or be identified for needing help and support. This makes the definition very useful for setting goals for patients and in providing the most appropriate treatment/support. Therefore, it could be argued that this definition is more useful for suggesting ways to improve compared to simply the statistical deviation definition because that only identifies abnormality.
