Standard Form - GCSE Psychology Definition

Reviewed by: Lucy Vinson

Last updated

In GCSE Psychology, standard form usually refers to a way of presenting data or numbers in a consistent and clear manner, rather than the mathematical concept. It involves organising information so it's easy to read and understand, often using tables or graphs. By using standard forms of presentation, psychologists can share their findings more effectively and make it easier for others to compare and analyse data. It is a way of writing very large or very small numbers in a concise and easily understandable way. This approach helps ensure that psychological research is clear and reliable.
