This is the second book in the Independent Learner series and has been completely revised to match the 2012 changes to the AQA-A specification. The series consists of two AS books and two A2 books and are the only books on the market to combine both a textbook and workbook. The second book includes coverage of three of the six key areas in psychology: Biological Psychology, Social Psychology and Individual Differences. Each unit introduces concepts, theories and explanations and is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the individual preparing for the AS Exam'. This combination helps maximise students existing skills and knowledge and develops higher order skills of analysis, evaluation and critical thinking.
