6. Biological Psychology is the study of biological bases of psychological processes and behavior. Historical development of biological psychology, is explained by the fact that humans as well as animals can change according to environment, this is important in order to understand just how biology and psychology go together. This is an understanding that dates back to the ancient Greeks. Plato was the one that proposed that it was the brain that was indeed the organ of all reasoning.
In this task I will outline the functions of the main cell components. Which consists of the Cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), golgi apparatus and lysosome. Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms. Cells can take in nutrients, change these nutrients into energy and can carry out particular functions, and reproduce them if needed. Mitochondria Mitochondria Nucleus Nucleus Lysosome Lysosome Golgi apparatus Golgi apparatus Cell membrane Cell membrane Endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth and rough) Endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth and rough) Cytoplasm Cytoplasm Cell Membrane A cell membrane of the cell.

Five factor trait theory, and 3.

Bio-psychologists believe that behaviour is hereditary and carried in the genes. The brain and nervous system are integral to this approach and the chemicals in our bodies such as the neurotransmitters and hormones have a large impact on our behaviour. This can be traced back to the genes and DNA as this is where the chemicals are produced. This approach believes that too much or too little of these chemicals can cause mental health problems such as depression and schizophrenia. 1 – The Biological approach treats mental illnesses as any other illness by labelling it, normally by using the DSM IV or ICD 10 then using drugs to treat the illness (or psychosurgery).
Biological Psychology Name PSY 340: Biological Foundations of Psychology Date Biological Psychology The beginning of behavior, emotion, and thought all begin in the brain and this is the foundation of biological psychology. Biological psychology is the scientific study of the physiological bases of human behavior and mental processes. Biological psychology is also known as behavioral neuroscience and physiological psychology. Biological psychology focuses on the relationship of underlying physiological events and psychological processes. This form of psychology is involved with the mind-body dispute and researchers how they affect one another.
Alex Huber Psychology Study guide • Psychological perspectives o Biological: links of biology and behavior o Psychodynamic: behavior controlled by unconscious motive o Behavioral: behavior controlled by reward punishment factor o Cognitive: emphasizes internal mental processes o Humanistic: personal growth, only natural to make mistakes and learn from them • Psychological research methods o Case study: taking detailed observations of a single body o Survey: private and truthful Random sample: fairly represents population because chosen at random Representative sample: o Naturalistic observation: study animals in wild, high cost takes time o Correlation: measurements of how to factors effect each other Negative/positive:
