Brain Plasticity and Functional Recovery - Biological Psychology [AQA ALevel]

Описание: If you want to improve your psychological knowledge in a way that is more fun than just studying and trying to memorise, I recommend reading a popular science book. You will be surprised how often the ideas in these books pop up in your actual course! And you’re far more likely to actually understand these ideas having read about their wider context.

Check out my website https://psychboost.com/psychology-boo... for my review of each of these books including why they will help with your A level!
