Question 2 of 3 · No calculator needed
Which biological rhythm repeats approximately once every 24 hours?
A circadian rhythm, such as the sleep-wake cycle, repeats about every 24 hours; ultradian cycles repeat more often.
Question 3 of 3 · No calculator needed
Which action is prosocial behaviour?
Prosocial behaviour is a positive action that benefits others, including helping, sharing and caring.
These tiles show your answers to three questions. They are a starting point, not a mastery score or grade prediction.
Memory and forgetting
Correct answer: Encoding, storage, retrieval
Encoding changes information into a form memory can use, storage retains it, and retrieval brings stored information back into awareness.
Sleep and dreams
Correct answer: Circadian rhythm
A circadian rhythm, such as the sleep-wake cycle, repeats about every 24 hours; ultradian cycles repeat more often.
Prosocial behaviour
Correct answer: Sharing materials with a classmate who needs them
Prosocial behaviour is a positive action that benefits others, including helping, sharing and caring.
For parents: look at the explanation together. A correct answer is encouraging; a missed answer gives you something specific to work on. Broader practice over time is needed to understand progress.
YOUR TOPIC MAP
7 areasFind your starting point.
01Memory and forgetting
Specification reference: 1
The psychodynamic explanation gives forgetting a protective motive, whereas access failure concerns difficulty retrieving stored information without that motive.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Memory and forgetting without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
02Sleep and dreams
Specification reference: 2
After restricted sleep, participants showed greater risk-taking, less accurate decision-making and lower efficiency in brain areas including the amygdala.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Sleep and dreams without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
03Prosocial behaviour
Specification reference: 3
Greater similarity among genetically identical twins supports a genetic contribution, although it does not show that genes determine behaviour completely.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Prosocial behaviour without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
04Visual perception
Specification reference: 4
Avoidance of the visually deep side despite solid glass was taken as evidence that depth perception is available early and supports direct perception.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Visual perception without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
05Motivation and needs
Specification reference: 5
Because unconscious motives are not directly observable, researchers rely on interpretation, making measurement and objective verification difficult.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Motivation and needs without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
06Language development
Specification reference: 6
Combining two meaningful words is characteristic of the two-word stage; telegraphic language later combines more content words while omitting function words.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Language development without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.
07Research methods
Specification reference: 7
A confederate follows the researcher's script within the situation while participants usually believe the person is another genuine participant or bystander.
Watch for: Do not describe a study or theory for Research methods without applying or evaluating it. Separate what the evidence shows from what can reasonably be concluded.

2027-2029 syllabus, version 3; August 2025 update applied
Source checked: 2026-08-28. The current official specification controls assessment requirements and option choices.
Can parents and students try LearningP before signing up?
Yes. This page offers three original questions from three different skills on this exact course. Each answer has an explanation, followed by a sample heatmap showing what was correct and what to revisit. No account is needed, and taster answers are not saved.
What does the three-question heatmap tell a parent?
It shows the outcome of these three answers and gives a specific skill to discuss or practise next. It is not a full assessment, a mastery score or a grade prediction. Broader practice over time is needed to understand progress.
What does the Cambridge IGCSE International GCSE Psychology route cover?
LearningP currently maps 7 assessed areas for specification 0266. The visible topic map below is derived from the verified route; the current official specification remains controlling.
How many LearningP questions support this route?
The verified source bank contains 254 original LearningP question records for this route. Every mapped area meets the current publication minimum and passed the latest blocker and review audit.
Does LearningP reproduce official exam questions?
No. LearningP uses official specifications and assessment materials to map content and demand, while its practice questions and explanations are independently authored.
Can this page predict an exam grade?
No. LearningP reports practice evidence, coverage, strengths and gaps. It does not guarantee or automatically predict examination outcomes.
Where should current assessment information be checked?
Use the official Cambridge IGCSE specification and assessment-resource pages linked on this page, together with information supplied by the learner’s school.
