Here&#8217;s the whole paper on one page.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bl-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Section<\/th>\n<th>Topic<\/th>\n<th>What you study<\/th>\n<th>Named studies<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>A (25 marks)<\/td>\n<td>Memory<\/td>\n<td>Encoding, storage and retrieval; episodic, semantic and procedural memory; the multi-store model; primacy and recency; reconstructive memory; interference, context and false memories<\/td>\n<td>Murdock&#8217;s serial position curve; Bartlett&#8217;s War of the Ghosts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>B (25 marks)<\/td>\n<td>Perception<\/td>\n<td>Sensation vs perception; monocular and binocular depth cues; visual illusions; Gibson&#8217;s direct theory; Gregory&#8217;s constructivist theory; perceptual set<\/td>\n<td>Gilchrist and Nesberg; Bruner and Minturn<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C (25 marks)<\/td>\n<td>Development<\/td>\n<td>Early brain development; nature and nurture; Piaget&#8217;s stage theory and its use in education; Dweck&#8217;s mindset theory; praise and self-efficacy; learning styles and Willingham&#8217;s criticism<\/td>\n<td>McGarrigle and Donaldson&#8217;s naughty teddy; Hughes&#8217; policeman doll<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>D (25 marks)<\/td>\n<td>Research methods<\/td>\n<td>Hypotheses; variables; sampling; experiments and other methods; correlation; research procedures; reliability and validity; ethics; data handling and maths<\/td>\n<td>Used across every topic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>One thing catches students out: AQA says research methods and the maths skills &#8220;will be assessed across all topic areas in Paper 1&#8221;. So you&#8217;ll meet a sampling or variables question inside the Memory section too, not just in Section D.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bl-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog-articles\/gcse-psychology-paper-1\/fen-road-depth.jpg\" alt=\"A straight country road in the Lincolnshire fens showing linear perspective and other depth cues from GCSE Psychology Paper 1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"670\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"bl-caption\">Linear perspective, relative size and occlusion in one view: the road narrows, the poles shrink and the tractor hides the hedge, all monocular depth cues you&#8217;ll name in the Perception section.<\/p>\n<h3>Memory<\/h3>\n<p>You start with how memories get in, stay in and come back out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/1\/\">encoding, storage and retrieval<\/a>. Then you learn the multi-store model, with its sensory, short-term and long-term stores and how each one differs in coding, capacity and duration.<\/p>\n<p>The two named studies are favourites for longer questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/13\/\">Murdock&#8217;s serial position curve study<\/a> shows why we remember the start and end of a list best. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/17\/\">Bartlett&#8217;s War of the Ghosts study<\/a> shows memory rebuilding a story to fit what we already know, which he called &#8220;effort after meaning&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Perception<\/h3>\n<p>Sensation is your eyes picking up light. Perception is your brain making sense of it. You&#8217;ll learn the four monocular depth cues (height in plane, relative size, occlusion and linear perspective), two binocular cues (retinal disparity and convergence) and six illusions, including the Ponzo, the M\u00fcller-Lyer and the Ames Room.<\/p>\n<p>The big debate is nature against nurture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/36\/\">Gibson&#8217;s direct perception theory<\/a> says the world gives us enough information on its own. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/52\/\">Gregory&#8217;s constructivist theory<\/a> says we build a picture using past experience. Expect to describe one and weigh it up.<\/p>\n<h3>Development<\/h3>\n<p>This section runs from the brain growing in the womb to how teenagers learn. The centre of it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/74\/\">Piaget&#8217;s theory of cognitive development<\/a>: four stages, assimilation and accommodation, and two studies that tested his ideas about egocentrism and conservation.<\/p>\n<p>After Piaget come Dweck&#8217;s fixed and growth mindsets, the role of praise and self-efficacy (your belief that you can succeed at a task), and learning styles, with Willingham&#8217;s argument that matching teaching to a &#8220;style&#8221; doesn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<h3>Research methods<\/h3>\n<p>Section D is the biggest topic by content. It&#8217;s all about how psychologists plan and run studies. That runs from writing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/99\/\">null hypothesis<\/a> to choosing a sample, an experimental design and a method, and dealing with ethical issues from the British Psychological Society guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>It also holds the maths: ratios, fractions, percentages, mean, median, mode and range, and drawing and reading graphs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/132\/\">scatter diagrams<\/a>. It&#8217;s all at the level of GCSE Maths.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bl-cta bl-cta-slim\">\n<p><b>Start with the Memory section.<\/b> Our first three Paper 1 lessons are free, no card needed.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"bl-btn bl-btn-main bl-btn-small\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/content\/aqa\/gcse\/psychology\/1\/\">Try 3 lessons free \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>How Paper 1 is examined<\/h2>\n<p>Every question is compulsory, so there&#8217;s no choosing. Each section is worth 25 marks and they come in order: Memory, Perception, Development, then Research methods. With 105 minutes for 100 marks, a good pace is about a minute a mark, which leaves a few minutes to check.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bl-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainylemons.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog-articles\/gcse-psychology-paper-1\/exam-desk-calculator.jpg\" alt=\"A GCSE exam desk with pens, a ruler and a calculator ready for psychology paper 1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"670\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"bl-caption\">Bring a calculator. Paper 1 has a few marks for working out a percentage, fraction or ratio from a table of results.<\/p>\n<h3>Question types and marks<\/h3>\n<p>Looking at the June 2025 paper, the questions fall into five types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Multiple choice (1 or 2 marks):<\/b> pick the right answer, such as which sampling method gives everyone an equal chance.<\/li>\n<li><b>Short answer (2 to 4 marks):<\/b> define a term, name two depth cues, or identify the variables in a study.<\/li>\n<li><b>Maths (2 to 4 marks):<\/b> calculate a percentage or ratio, or sketch a scatter diagram.<\/li>\n<li><b>Application and &#8220;design a study&#8221; (4 to 6 marks):<\/b> use what you know on a new scenario, like planning an experiment about praise and driving lessons.<\/li>\n<li><b>Extended writing (5 to 9 marks):<\/b> describe and evaluate a study or theory. In 2025 the last question was a 9-mark synoptic question, which means it pulls ideas from across the whole course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The command word tells you what to do. &#8220;Identify&#8221; or &#8220;name&#8221; wants a word or phrase. &#8220;Describe&#8221; wants detail. &#8220;Evaluate&#8221; wants strengths and weaknesses with a judgement. Of the 50% that Paper 1 is worth, AQA puts about 17.5% on knowledge, 17.5% on applying it and 15% on evaluating, so knowing facts alone won&#8217;t get you a top grade.<\/p>\n<h3>A real Paper 1 question<\/h3>\n<p>Here are two questions from the June 2025 paper (8 May 2025), taken from AQA&#8217;s published question paper:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Describe and evaluate Murdock&#8217;s serial position curve study.&#8221; [9 marks]<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Calculate the ratio of the total number of objects correctly recalled in Group A compared to Group B. Write this ratio in its simplest form.&#8221; [2 marks] (Group A recalled 180, Group B 140.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the ratio, 180:140 simplifies to 9:7. The mark scheme gave 1 mark if you didn&#8217;t simplify, so always finish the job.<\/p>\n<p>For the 9-marker, split your time evenly. Describe the aim, method, results and conclusion in a short paragraph or two, then give two or three evaluation points that are clearly about Murdock, such as the word lists being an artificial task. Generic points like &#8220;it lacks validity&#8221; with no link to the study score very little.<\/p>\n<h3>Paper 1 vs Paper 2<\/h3>\n<div class=\"bl-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Paper 1<\/th>\n<th>Paper 2<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Title<\/td>\n<td>Cognition and behaviour<\/td>\n<td>Social context and behaviour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Topics<\/td>\n<td>Memory, Perception, Development, Research methods<\/td>\n<td>Social influence, Language, thought and communication, Brain and neuropsychology, Psychological problems<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Length and marks<\/td>\n<td>1 hour 45 minutes, 100 marks<\/td>\n<td>1 hour 45 minutes, 100 marks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Share of GCSE<\/td>\n<td>50%<\/td>\n<td>50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Summer 2027 date<\/td>\n<td>Monday 10 May, afternoon<\/td>\n<td>Monday 17 May, afternoon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"bl-source\">Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqa.org.uk\/subjects\/psychology\/gcse\/psychology-8182\/specification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AQA GCSE Psychology 8182 specification<\/a> (version 1.1) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqa.org.uk\/files\/449f89fe-eb10-43c4-9f7f-d94906b16007\/8dfe25454c7bcaa686393e07ade5d2f194bc7fa0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AQA May\/June 2027 GCSE timetable<\/a> (version 1.2).<\/p>\n<h2>What examiners said about the June 2025 paper<\/h2>\n<p>Every year AQA publishes an examiner report on how students answered each question.
