Abstract
A summary of your general aims, method,participants, results and conclusions.1. Write it last – you won’t know your
conclusions until you have finished your experiments and analysed your results.
2. This should only be one paragraph long.

Introduction
This section explains the theoretical setting for your work and the reasons for your choice of method. You should include1. Background to the general area of study – memory,
Atkinson and Shiffrins model2. Previous research carried out in your particular area –
context dependent, imagery etc3. How your investigation relates to the previous
research i.e. What are you doing differently?

Method
This section should be divided into the following sections• Design – state the type of investigation (lab
experiment, quasi experiment, observation, questionnaire) what design you used for this (independent measures, repeated measures, matched pairs) and say why.
![Page 8: Presentation On Sections](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062705/556491bbd8b42ab8278b46ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Method
• Participants – state the type of sampling method used and why and also the details of your participants including how many there were, age range, gender, and occupation (students)
![Page 9: Presentation On Sections](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062705/556491bbd8b42ab8278b46ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Method
• Materials – list the materials that you used including a stopwatch , word lists, instructions etc.
• Also describe why you used the words or pictures on your lists.
Put a copy of your lists, instructions, consent form and debrief statement at the back of your report as appendices

Method
• Procedure – Describe how you conducted your experiment. Use the past tense eg. ‘I gave out’ or ‘I asked the participants’.Say where the experiment took place and the time of day.
Say how you scored your results eg. Gave 1 point for each word correctly recalled.It may help to use numbered bullet points to show what you did at each step of the experiment.

some of the procedures and factors involved in setting up the investigation. (2)
• Design correct. Attempts made to justify it. Section written up correctly identifying procedures, participants, variables, controls. Not enough detail given for method to be capable of replication (3-4)
• Design correct and justified. Enough details given for method to be capable of replication. (5-6)

Method
• Procedure cont – Write this section so that someone reading it could repeat exactly what you did. Describe any ethical considerations that you had to make.

issues and explains what ethical considerations have been applied. (2)
• Candidate demonstrates an awareness of ethical issues by explaining in detail how they have been correctly applied to the investigation. (3)

Results
Present these as visually as possible, but also describe the data you obtained.Label your tables and graphs clearly.Measures of central tendency such as means, medians, or modes are also useful to show the direction of your results.Explain what your results mean in the context of your hypothesis. Eg. ‘these results support my
experiment hypothesis.....’
