I found out the History is a very useful AOK, it shows the vocab shape what we can know

Language is a way of knowing... maybe what you meant was Literature? and I've advised most people to take natural sciences and mathematics.
Natural sciences has a proper vocabulary - the scientific one. This vocab is almost always based on a dead language (latin or ancient greek) for particular reasons which allow a better communication between the scientific community. So, that shapes what you know because there maybe some cases where you have no word in latin nor in greek to describe a particular phenomena, etc.
As for Maths, there are two main ideologies within Maths - the language-based maths and the other one I forgot but even so, the vocabulary and the symbols shape what you know as they are fixed and determined, you can no longer think that a "+" is actually a minus symbol if you get what I mean
Art isn't a good AOK for this title nor are human sciences except for psychology. Like, you restrict yourself to the names of the diseases that a book with all mental illnesses has but the human being is so complex that new stuff can arise
Oh and no, insight and stuff is not enough. It's clearly stated in the criteria that the knower must reflect upon their personal experiences. This means that when you state something, you should include some kind of personal experience that might be related. For example, "I was in Kazakhstan and while I was in the local market speaking in English with a vegetable seller he used a word to describe a vegetable that I had no idea of what it was"... that kind of things lol

Hello, I'm IB student and it's my second year here. This year, as I am SL psychology student, I need to make an Internal assessment task. I want to replicate experiments about isolation (Von Restorff) or Primacy effect. However, I'm not entirely sure whether these experiment are suitable. Also, I tried to find information about each of these research studies, but all articles are not allowed to download. I'm desperate. I have an offer to combine with other groop and to carry out Stroop experiment, but I dont't understand the point of that experiment. Could anybody give me a piece of advise about where can I find information about isolation or primacy effect? Or I should comibne with Stroop group and not to bother about these two?
The Stroop is your best option. It is consistently the most popular experiment for IAs because it is so easy to carry out and write up. The point of the Stroop is to show interference for incongruent word color pairs (e.g. green is processed faster than green). You can see sample IAs on IB Survival here or my blog, mine was on the Stroop effect btw.
Any other questions just ask
