A supporting CD-ROM of AS/A2 teaching resources is free to teachers who recommend either of these textbooks to their students. This A2 level text, which builds on the ideas and insights explored at AS level to promote a deeper understanding of psychology, is written in an accessible, engaging style by highly experienced authors. The areas covered are: Social Psychology, Physiological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Comparative Psychology and Individual Differences. There are also chapters on Perspectives in Psychology and on the assessed coursework. At this level, students select options from the range of specified topics, and each topic within the syllabus is covered in sufficient depth for the requirements of A2.The book includes a number of helpful features: tailored to the new AQA(A) specification so that students can easily use the text for their A2 studies; mapped clearly and comprehensively to the requirements of three parts of the A2 assessment - Options paper, Synoptic paper, and Coursework; careful explanations that are easy to read and enable clear understanding; case studies of real life examples; important key studies, each with critical evaluation and discussion points; detailed end-of-chapter summaries; and, exam-style questions to test understanding and to give exam practice.
