How to use these cards for OCR psychology

Most OCR A-Level Psychology papers ask you to recall key studies, definitions and evaluation points under timed conditions, which is where OCR A-Level psychology flashcards earn their place.

Cover every named study with its aim, procedure, findings and one evaluation point.
Keep definitions short and precise, and check that you can state the term without looking.
Review cards on a spaced schedule rather than cramming a full topic the night before.
Mix in short-answer style cards so you practise writing, not just recognising, the answer.

Example OCR A-Level psychology flashcards

Loftus and Palmer (1974): how did changing one word affect the answers?Participants who heard 'smashed' estimated higher car speeds than those who heard 'hit', showing leading questions can alter eyewitness memory.

Define reliability in research methods.The consistency of a measurement; a reliable test or study gives similar results when repeated under the same conditions.

What did Peterson and Peterson (1959) find about short-term memory duration?Without rehearsal, information was largely forgotten within roughly 18 to 30 seconds, supporting the idea that short-term memory is brief.

Bandura's Bobo doll study: what was the key finding?Children who watched an adult act aggressively toward the doll were more likely to imitate that aggression, supporting social learning theory.

Evaluate: why can a laboratory experiment be a limitation in psychology?Artificial settings can reduce ecological validity, so behaviour seen in the lab may not reflect how people act in everyday life.

Cards from your own material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and get flashcards built from your specific specification content.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and ones you know well appear less often, so revision time goes on what you are most likely to forget.

Export when you need it

On Plus you can export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX, so your psychology cards can travel with you to other devices or print for a revision session.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word document, text file or photo of a page from your OCR psychology course.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit any wording you want changed, and remove anything you already know well.

Study on a spaced schedule

Work through the deck in the browser each day and let the spacing adjust to how well you recall each card.

A useful deck pairs each study with its aim, method, main finding and one strength or weakness, so you can answer both 'describe' and 'evaluate' questions from memory.

Generate cards from your own teacher slides and class notes, since those reflect the wording and examples your exam board and teacher expect you to use.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for one OCR A-Level psychology topic?

Aim for enough cards to cover each key term, study and evaluation point in that topic, without padding the deck with near-duplicates. Once a card feels automatic, remove it so your review time goes to the harder material.

Should psychology flashcards focus on studies or on definitions?

Use both, because the exam asks for definitions in short answers and for studies in longer evaluation questions. Pair each study with its aim, method, findings and one strength or limitation.

Can I export my psychology flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is available on the Plus plan, which is $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
