This year in May 2021, however, effects were not considered background theories or models. This includes things like the Stroop effect, misinformation effect, anchoring effect, etc. Also not accepted are biases, such as confirmation bias.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A friendly request to the IB assessment team:<\/strong> Can you please announce these changes\u00a0<em>before\u00a0<\/em>they take effect? It is unfair to penalise students for following advice that was previously valid. If you are going to make these drastic changes to the way assessments are marked, simply announce it 12 months earlier. Thanks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have always encouraged students to use theories or models to explain effects and biases as it makes for better explanations, anyway.
