Dement and Kleitman Research

    Hello,
    I really love your notes and questions :) Just a heads up, the question you have given for paper 1: 2. Identify which one of the following statements is not true of Dement & Kleitman's observations of the relationship between sleep and dreams. [1] (*this question is from the specimen paper 1 released by CIE)
    Eye movements are more frequent in dreams about distant objects.
    People may make movements, e.g. foot twitches, while dreaming.
    The sleeper's eyes move in REM sleep.
    There are usually several REM sleep periods per night.

    Specimen Ans. The candidate must simply tick option 2 - people may make movements e.g. foot twitches, while dreaming.

    The correct answer is option one, as the question focuses on what is NOT true for REM sleep.

    Hi i needed some clarity as to how is this a two tailed hypothesis 'The duration of a dream is the same as the length of the REM period in which it occurs'.?

    Also would you have notes for the 2 year?

      Hello Anonymous!

      Thank you so much for pointing out the error! It was a typing mistake on my part. As I have stated in the reason, the direction of hypothesis is specified. So, it is definitely a one-tailed hypothesis. I have now rectified the error.

      As for notes for the second year, I have only one post on my blog as of now for the A level which you can visit here:

      I also have a couple of lessons on my site:
