1/2 Term Check

Thanks to the 14 people who viewed the blog (leave a comment you miserable 6th formers!).

Take the survey - give me a bit of feedback - it is anonymous and gives me some initial feedback on whether you feel comfortable with your studies.

Comments are also anonymous (unless you add your name) so you can ask for clarification without me knowing who you are.

Coming up next...

Memory in everyday life - Eyewitness Testimony.

Question: - From what we know of models of memory, what problems might exist for police officers and juries when witnesses provide eyewitness testimony?
