Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2025). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [5] 1 mark per correct point The child was brought to an anteroom/a room. It contained toys (for the children)/shown toys. These included a fire engine, locomotive, a fighter jet, cable, spinning top, doll, doll carriage, crib, car, wardrobe (two need to be named to gain 1 mark). They were told they could play with them. As soon as they did begin to play/get involved (usually 2 mins), the experimenter stopped them/took the toys away. The experimenter explained that she did not let just anyone play with the toys. She then said that she decided they were reserved for some other children. The children were told that they were her very best toys. The experimenter sat away from the child (during this phase)/completed some paperwork. List is definitive. If the description follows the definitive list presented here but they say 'model' then award credit. Do not credit 'they were not allowed to play with the toys' as they were.
