PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY Studying the development of theories that describe brain-behavior relationships in which surround the notion of how the nervous system intertwines with the other systems in the body to creates a specific behavior. This is a very scientific approach that is performed in controlled experiments that can be replicable and produce reliable results. Equipment such as MRIs and PETs can be used to study and gather data on of different behaviors of the brain that can help develop many effective treatments. This also provides evidence that can support the debate on the nature/nurture debate. This approach cannot measure thoughts but only things like blood flow. Falsified reports can often be reported due to self-reported data.

Medications are cheaper and less time consuming than therapy and can provide quick relief from symptoms. There are some disorders that cannot be treated by therapy but by psychopharmacology. Regardless of the person’s attitude medication more effective toward the behavior. With drugs there are possible harmful side effects and can be ineffective if they are taken for long term. Psychiatric drugs can cause brain damage and there are some people who are also medicated against their will.
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY Studying the relationship between behavior, emotion, and cognition on one hand, and the brain function on the other. How does the brain correlate with the mind? This can be clinical and nonclinical study. Ability to be administered by a technician. Reliable and comparability across a wide range of different groups. The length and efficiency of the study. There is difficulty in knowing which functions are being measures since the measures are so …show more content…
This field can be thought of as a combination of basic neuroscience and psychology. This focuses on understanding the biological processes, physiology and anatomy. There are three important components that are primarily studied: the human brain, the neurotransmitters and the nervous system that influence the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of humans. This field also focuses on how brain injuries and diseases impact the human behavior. This line of work deals with studying and researching human
