At AS there are two units covering four approaches: Unit 1 includes the Social and Cognitive approaches: In the Social Approach, students will learn about why we may blindly obey an order from an authority figure and how prejudice arises and may be reduced (social psychology). In the Cognitive Approach will also investigate how we remember and why we forget, including influences on the accuracy of eye-witness testimony (cognitive psychology). Unit 2 includes the Biological and Learning approaches: In the Biological Approach, students will study the biological factors that affect the development of aggression. In the Learning Approach students will examine how reinforcement and punishment shape our behaviour, including the development of phobias
