A Level Psychology Mind Map Structure

A Level psychology mind maps group the specification into clear areas. Most revision maps start from the core approaches and then branch into memory, social influence, attachment, biopsychology and research methods. Each branch holds the key studies, the main theories and the evaluation points examiners look for. Keeping these linked helps you recall how a study supports a theory.

  • Core approaches: behaviourist, cognitive, biological and psychodynamic ideas
  • Memory: models, forgetting, and key studies such as Loftus and Palmer
  • Social influence: conformity, obedience and their explanations
  • Research methods: experiments, design, sampling and ethics

Use the map to test yourself on each branch, revise weak areas and check how topics connect. You can also create a personalised psychology map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
