the environment. It is a way of doing a research in a controlled environment on a certain behaviour which will have a cause and effect. It is done in a controlled environment so that extraneous variables are prevented from affecting the results. Behaviourists use lab experiments because they are interested in a cause and effect of certain behaviours. The aim is to control all relevant variables except for one key variable‚ which is altered to see what the effect is. The variable that you alter is called

Biological Level of Analysis Learning Outcomes 1. Outline the principles that define the biological level of analysis. a. Patterns of behavior can be inherited: There is innate behavior “hard-wired” in organisms that is carried on through genetics. It makes certain stimuli generate certain response and is usually evolutionary. b. Animal research may inform our understanding of human behavior: Biological analysis of animal behavior can be used to predict similar results in humans

Biological Approach to Depression The biological approach is based on the idea that depression has a physical or organic cause. One explanation suggests that some people are simply more genetically inclined to develop depression‚ as Hecimovic suggested that it was caused by a mutation in the 5-HTT gene‚ which was responsible for coding for serotonin production‚ and that this mutation is inherited. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have all helped support the role of genetics in

1) Biological Approach The Biological approach studies the relationship between behavior and the brain and nervous system. Theorically all behavior can be related to changes in brain activity. Because brain is the processing centre that controls all complex behavior. One of the main assumptions of the biological approach is that all behavior is associated with changes in brain function. Therefore the psychopathology will occur due to changes in either the structure if related to changes in the

Biological Psychology Biological Psychology The brain is a complex organ that is composed of many even more complex systems. Several theorists and psychologists focus on these systems and the functions of the brain. Scientists are also among those who take an interest in the functions of the brain. Each group digs deeper into researching biological psychology because they are learning more about the history of the field‚ the theorists that have contributed to the understanding‚ and relationships
