Use the marking grid below.
4 marks for the similarity, e.g., experimental, lack mundane realism, quantitative data collection, experimental design used, ethics, cognitive skills being tested.
4 marks for the difference, e.g., experimental design used, cognitive skills being tested, ethics.
e.g., similarity
e.g. 4 marks
Both Andrade and Pozzulo studies were experimental in nature. For example, both studies had manipulated IVs. In the Andrade study there were two conditions of doodling and non-doodling. In Pozzulo study there was also two conditions of age/type of face/degree of familiarity. Therefore, both were trying to establish cause and effect (explanation).

Do not credit any answer about the sample.
Award L1-L4 for similarity. Award L1-L4 for difference.
For Level 4 there must be some attempt at explaining the similarity or difference.
Two descriptions of the studies with no logical link = L1 max.
Different aims = L1 max.
Similarity of cognitive approach with examples from each study without terms = L3 max.
If the candidate mixes up the names of the studies and/or terminology then L2 max and annotate with NBOD.
Auditory vs visual task is a legitimate comparison but likely to be L3 max.
