Criteria Feedback
- The student states a focused, testable aim and explains clearly why the investigation matters.
- The student's description of the multi-store model is accurate and they connect it well to the serial-position effect.
- The student's hypothesis and variables are clearly operationalized, which makes the investigation easy to follow.
- There are very few weaknesses in this section; the main opportunity would be to make the research focus even more concise.
- Some statements could be tightened to avoid repetition across the aim, theory, and hypothesis.
- A slightly more explicit bridge between the theory and the exact procedure would make the introduction even sharper.

B.3Variables and materials

Criteria Feedback
- The student clearly describes a repeated-measures design and explains why it is appropriate for this investigation.
- The student's use of counterbalancing and standardized procedures shows good awareness of how to control order and procedural effects.
- The student provides relevant reasons for participant choice and includes thoughtful material controls such as image sets and fixed timing.
- Some justifications are a little overstated, especially where the student implies the sample fully controls attention, fatigue, or maturity.
- The validation of the two image sets is weak because it relies on too little evidence to be convincing.
- A few procedural choices, such as the filler task duration, would benefit from more explicit justification.
