his year group. Charlie thinks they are ‘cool’.

night but still goes to school the following day wearing his jumper inside-out.

0 3 box Later that day, the headteacher calls each of the boys in the group to his office
one-by-one, including Charlie.

be given to any boy who disobeys. From then on, each boy wears their jumper correctly.
Use your knowledge of obedience to explain the boys’ behaviour.

0 5 A researcher wanted to test if there is a relationship between the passage of time and
recall of nonsense words. They gave 30 participants 40 nonsense words to learn, then
tested recall at fixed intervals over several weeks. The nonsense words were
standardised to ensure they were of similar difficulty and length.
When writing up the investigation, the researcher represented their data on a scattergram.
