Today we finished the Anomalistic Psychology unit and covered four topics very quickly.
The ppt on psychic healing (including therapeutic touch (TT)) and psychic mediumship is here. Psychic healing refers to treatments used to deal with health problems by purely mental means. Psychic mediums claim to be able to communicate with people in the afterlife or spirit world. The Barnum statements sheet is here.
We also started to look at out-of-body experiences (OOBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs). Both of these are reasonably well supported, scientifically, unlike the other paranormal phenomena we have covered. Research has indicated real physiological explanations for both of these experiences, however some people still use paranormal arguments to explain them.
The ppt on OOBEs and NDEs is here. Make sure you complete the list of questions on OOBEs and NDEs, which is here.
Do attempt the exam questions on both ppts. Mark schemes are on the AQA website, or you can email answers to me.
