How to make revision cards that match the AQA specification

Strong A-Level psychology flashcards for AQA follow the specification: one card for each key term, one for each named study with its aim and finding, and one for each theorist and their model. Cards made from your own class notes tend to match the wording your teacher used, which helps when you are checking answers in an exam.

  • Cards built from your own notes, slides or textbook chapters
  • Question and answer format for key terms, studies and theorists
  • Spaced repetition on Plus so weak cards come back more often
  • Export to Anki or PDF on Plus for printing or other apps
Example AQA A-Level psychology flashcards
What are the three components of Baddeley and Hitch's working memory model?The central executive, the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad.
What did Ainsworth's Strange Situation study measure?The quality of infant attachment to a caregiver, classified as secure, insecure-avoidant or insecure-resistant.
What capacity did Miller (1956) propose for short-term memory?About 7 items, plus or minus 2.
What is the central claim of social learning theory?Behaviour is learned through observation, imitation and vicarious reinforcement, not only through direct reinforcement.
What is Bowlby's monotropy hypothesis?Infants form one primary attachment bond, usually with the mother, which acts as a template for later relationships.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. The flashcards cover what your teacher actually taught.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you find difficult come back sooner, so your revision time goes on the content you are least sure of.

Exports for other apps

On Plus you can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV, so you can print a deck or move it into the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, or photos of your handwritten notes for the topic you are studying.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text and writes question and answer cards for the key terms, studies and theories it finds.

Revise with spaced repetition

Study in the browser and let the schedule bring back the cards you are most likely to forget before the exam.

Keep your decks organised by topic, such as memory, attachment, approaches or biopsychology, rather than putting everything into one large set. Short answer cards work well for definitions and study findings, while evaluation points such as methodology and ethics are better practised with quiz questions alongside the flashcards.

Use a regular short session each day rather than one long cram before the exam. Spaced repetition spaces out the cards you struggle with, so terms like the multi-store model or the strange situation are easier to recall under timed conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for AQA A-Level psychology?

Make one deck per topic and add a card for each key term, named study and theorist in that topic. A focused deck per topic is easier to review than one large set covering the whole course.

Which AQA psychology content works best as flashcards?

Key terms, study aims and findings, and theory models such as the multi-store model or the working memory model suit flashcards well. Evaluation and methodology points are easier to learn through practice questions alongside the cards.

Can I export my psychology flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exporting is a Plus feature, which also includes unlimited generations and spaced repetition. The free plan lets you make up to 3 generations per month and study in the browser.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students also get 40% off Plus with a school email address.
