Psychology maps the human mind‚ behavior and mannerisms. Cognitive psychology is deals with the details and processes that affect individuals. Cognitive deviates from other branches of psychology due to the application of scientific and experimental methods. Cognitive psychology explains how the human mind turns thoughts and actions into cognitions. It also examines the nature of human behavior and uses constructs to create behavior that leads to a proper understanding of the processes

your condition. This approach tends to fit in with the nature nurture debate. A biological perspective is relevant to the study of psychology in three ways: 1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and +compared. This can help in the search to understand human behaviour. 2. Physiology: how the nervous system and hormones work‚ how the brain functions‚ how changes in structure and/or function can affect behaviour. For example‚ we could ask how prescribed drugs to treat depression affect

Gross anatomy - performs surgical technique ; dissection (cutting up). b. Paleontology - studies pre-historic forms of animals through fossil. 2. Histology - study of tissues & organs‚ their structure‚ functions & composition at a microscopic level. 3. Cytology - study of the structure & function and its parts at microsopic level or

Primary Succession Primary Succession is an ecological succession process that occurs in an environment with no prior inhabitants. Primary succession is the changes in species composition over time in a previously uninhabited environment. When primary succession begins no soil exist; rock surfaces like volcanic lava and glacier scraped rock surfaces are the platform on which primary succession begins. In figure 4.4 of the text Primary succession is happening on glacier moraine after the glacier

There are three principles that define the biological level of analysis: there are biological origins of behavior‚ animal research may provide insight into human behavior‚ and to an extent human behavior is genetically based. The first principle (biological origins of behavior) deals with the idea that neurotransmitters‚ hormones‚ and other specific brain processes can have an effect on behavior. For example‚ one study looked at criminals charged with murder who testified “Not Guilty By Reason
