New podcasts and classroom posters are available for download from the OCR exam board, following two events held in association with the British Psychological Society in January.
The resources relate to the core studies part of OCR's new syllabus starting in September 2008, but all psychology students and teachers will hopefully find them useful.
Podcasts:
MP3 of Mark Griffiths talking about his research on problem gambling.
MP3 of Stephen Reicher talking about research that is leading experts to reconsider the psychology of tyranny.
MP3 of Alexander Haslam talking on the same topic.
A3 Posters:
PDF: Spontaneous symbol acquisition and communicative use by pygmy chimpanzees.
PDF: Rethinking the psychology of tyranny: The BBC prison study.
PDF: Navigation related structural change in the hippocampi of London taxi drivers.
PDF: Another advanced test of theory of mind: evidence from very high-functionality adults with autism or Asperger Syndrome.
