Caledonian Clarity

With school exam season well under way, and SQA Higher Psychology having been one of the first exams to be completed, I though I would remind you that I also look after university students! 🎓

Whether you're preparing for your end of year psychology exams or whether you're thinking about how to do your dissertation (eek!), I can support you throughout the summer and beyond.

I offer the following areas of support:

- Research methods (quantitative and qualitative)
- BPS curriculum
- Academic writing and general academic support
- Referencing help!

Feel free to reach out today and see how I might be able to support you.

To all of my SQA Higher Pupils...

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!

You've worked hard, and you're going to do great!

I look forward to celebrating your successes with you on exam day 🎉🍾🎉

👥 PREJUDICE REVISION ⚖️

Why do we judge others before we really know them? What does social identity theory say about in-groups and out-groups? And what do jigsaws have to do with reducing prejudice??

I’ve put together a revision checklist and some practice questions to help you break it all down. Let’s tackle Prejudice together! 💭✅

🧠 MEMORY REVISION:💡

What is the difference between STM, LTM, WMM and MSM? What is a visuo-spatial sketchpad? And how do we forget things??

In the next part of our revision series, here are the things you need to know about memory for the exam. Dive in and tell me how you've done! ✅✨

For those of who you want to revise using flashcards, I'm delighted to share that I've created sets on Quizlet! ✨

Feel free to have a look at my 🛌 SLEEP AND DREAMS 🌙 set, and if you'd like my others, drop me a message!

SQA Higher Psychology: Sleep and Dreams 6 sets · The Brain's Role in Sleep and dreams, Oswald's Restoration Theory of Sleep, Dement and Kleitman's Study on REM Sleep and Dreams, Cognitive Processes of Sleep and Dreams, Czeisler et al. Study on Bright Light and Shift Work

🧠CONFORMITY AND OBEDIENCE REVISION: 👮‍♀️

What was so wrong with Milgram's (1963) study? How we act in a group of 3-5 people? And what does uniform have to do with doing what we're told??

In my last post, we discussed sleep and dreams. Now it is the turn for Conformity and Obedience! I’ve pulled together a revision checklist and some practice questions to help you get stuck in. ✅✨

🛌 SLEEP & DREAMS REVISION 🌙

Can you explain the manifest vs latent content of dreams?
Do you remember what Oswald (1966) said about the purpose of sleep?
And what do dolphins and echidnas have to do with us?!

I've put together a revision checklist and some practice questions to help prep for the exam — check them out in the images! 💡✅

We are officially less than TWO WEEKS away from the SQA Higher Psychology Exam!

As we get closer, it's incredibly important to take care of yourself (whether you're a student or a parent!) as stress can be high.

Remember, take regular breaks, do something different to take your mind off of things and allow your brain the chance to breathe!

If you need any extra support, whether its a quick revision check or a full session, get in touch :)

You've got this! 💪

I'm delighted to share that my official Caledonian Clarity revision mind map packs are ready to go!

I prepare these for my students to help focus revision efforts, especially as we work towards sitting prelims and other important exams.

Last week, I did something extremely important…

I took time off!

I went road tripping around the Scottish Highlands, living up to the Caledonia in Caledonian Clarity.

I’m glad to report that I’m now back, and continue to have new availability for psychology tutoring over Autumn! Feel free to drop me a message to book in your first free lesson 📚📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reviews are really important to tutors, as not only does it help us understand what we’re doing well, but also where we can improve!

I recently received a 5 star ‘perfect’ review from one of my students, which helps me to understand what my tutoring strengths are but also why students choose me.

I’ve got new availability over Autumn/Winter, why not drop me a message and see how we can work together?
