Key Debates: Applying Issues to Topics

The AQA A-Level Psychology Paper 3 requires synoptic assessment — you must demonstrate the ability to link issues and debates to specific topics from across the entire specification. This lesson shows you how to apply each major issue and debate to content from Papers 1, 2, and 3.

Exam Tip: In Paper 3, you must demonstrate synoptic understanding by connecting issues and debates to specific topics from across the whole specification. The examiner is looking for breadth of reference, not just depth on a single topic.
