A Level Psyschology practical workA LEVEL PSYCHOLOGY GIRLS TEST TEACHER'S CHILDREN
Our Sixth Form Psychology students enjoyed performing tests recently on two very willling guinea pigs, George and Lily Davies-Potter, whose mother is our Head of Psychology.  Each girl chose a different experminent, ranging from testing the effect of different kinds of background music on the task of building tower of blocks (Hetty Gale) to playing Kim's Game (Alice Coleman).  "It was very useful to do these experiments because it made us realise that participants may not be as helpful as possible, especially children as they can be distracted easily!" reported Katharine Curry.
