Success criteria
Limited use of specialist terms.
Answer may simply refer to
learning techniques and not the
model. SPAG poor.
Answer includes a detailed
description of the model. There is
good use of specialist terms. SPAG
is good and it generally flows.
The response is clear and concise.
There is a full description of the
model and examples of how we
remember information. Key terms
are used effectively. Excellent
SPAG.
•
Memory is the storage and retrieval of
information
• Information is held in the short term memory
• Information can be moved to the long term
memory/stored by repetition/ reinforcement.
• Recalling information is called retrieval.
• Lack of repetition means that some information
can be forgotten.
• This represents an exit route within the
model.
Allow diagram as part of answer if points are .
Learning techniques may include:
•
Repetition, stimuli e.g. colour, light, smell,
sound, singing, visualisation, writing,
reading, chunking.

Question
Rachel has an injury to her spinal
cord just above her waist. She
cannot walk because she cannot
make her legs move. A doctor tests
Rachel’s knee jerk reflex and
finds that it still works, even
though she cannot walk.

Impact of damage:
• Reflex arc not affected by damage
• Damage above point where reflex arc takes place
• Impulse transmission to/from brain blocked

Describes a number of features but
does not fully explain how each
feature links to the neurones
function. SPAG poor.
•
Correct description of features
and explanation but does not
provide details of key
adaptations. Good use of some
specialist terms. SPAG generally
good.
•
A clear and concise answer that
clearly links the structure of the
neurone to its function. Excellent
SPAG.
•
•
Long axon (cytoplasm extension) to send
electrical impulses from central nervous
system to motor neurone.
Myelin / Fatty sheath insulates the axon,
speeding-up transmission of electrical
impulses.
Neurone endings which transmit impulses across
synapses to other neurons
Thin projections called dendrites extend from
the cell body and connect with other neurones,
allowing electrical impulses to pass from one
to the other
Other organelles;
• Nucleus- contains genes/genetic material that
code for specific proteins
• Mitochondria- aerobic respiration
• Cytoplasm-protein synthesis

Pujitha is reading about an antidepressant drug called paroxetine.
He reads that paroxetine increases
the transmission of nerve impulses
in the brain by increasing the
concentration of serotonin.

Success criteria
Answer may compare the action of
paroxetine to the action of
Ecstasy/MDMA but does not provide
many details of how it works.
Poor SPAG.
Answer contains correct mode of
action but does not provide all
of the details/incorrect
sequence. Good use of some
specialist terms. SPAG generally
good.

•
A clear and concise answer with a
full explanation that links
paroxetine to serotonin synapses.
Excellent SPAG.
•
paroxetine could work in the same way as
Ecstasy/MDMA
at synapses (in the brain)
that use serotonin as a transmitter substance
by blocking sites where serotonin is removed
from the synapse
when a nerve impulse is transmitted across the
synapse, serotonin is released from the first
neuron and binds to receptors on the membrane of
the second/next/relay neuron, this causes nerve
impulses in the second neuron
serotonin is not removed from the synapse, which
leads to an increased concentration of serotonin
in the synapse
more serotonin molecules are able to bind to
receptors on the second neuron and this causes
more nerve impulses in the second neuron

Answer may simply refer to the
idea that the bell is eventually
associated with food which leads
to salivation. Poor SPAG.
A detailed description of
conditioning. Good use of some of
the underlined terms. SPAG

Food is the primary stimulus
At first the bell is not associated
with the food. It is an
unconditioned stimulus.
Every time dog sees the food the
bell is rung.
Bell and food is an example of
classical conditioning.
Bell is secondary stimulus
After this is repeated the dog
eventually associates the bell with
receiving food
Salivation with the bell is
conditioned response/reflex.
