Question 2

Size and weight of brain

Answer 2

entire brain–about 1200
cubic centimeters and weighing around 3
pounds–contains about 60 trillion synaptic connections

Question 3

What is BioPsych?

Answer 3

Biological psychology is the scientific
study that links brain and behavior. Biological psychology, or biopsychology or biopsych for short, is related
to neighboring disciplines including psychobiology and behavioral neuroscience

Question 4

Wilhelm Wundt

Answer 4

F founder of experimental psychology, started the first psychology laboratory in the
1870s in Leipzig, Germany, where his research emphasized systematic observation to
understand consciousness and mental processes

Question 5

William James

Answer 5

The Principles of Psychology (1890) argued that the scientific study of psychology should be grounded in an understanding of biology

Question 6

Donald Hebb

Answer 6

The Organization of Behavior in 1949 marked a defining moment. Proposed the first brain-based account of how psychological phenomena like
perception, thought, and memory could emerge from brain activity, and thereby challenged the
prevailing

Question 7

Psychopharmacology

Answer 7

how drugs and other substances affect the brain and behavior, as well as how they can be used to treat psychological disorders.

Question 8

Neuropsychology

Answer 8

investigates the relationship between brain function and behavior, focusing on how brain damage or dysfunction can impact cognitive processes and psychological functioning especially in human patients

Question 9

Psychophysiology

Answer 9

relation between physical functions of organisms (physiology) and
psychological processes. Common physiological measures include electroencephalogram (EEG), heart rate, and pupil dilation.

Question 10

Psychoneuroimmunology

Answer 10

relationships between the nervous system, immune system and
hormones, and behavior. often study the impact of
stress and stress hormones on illness susceptibility and recovery.

Question 11

Evolutionary Psychology

Answer 11

explores how evolutionary processes, like natural selection, have adaptively shaped human traits and behaviors

Question 12

Behavioral Genetics

Answer 12

how genetic factors contribute to individual differences in behavior, cognition, personality, etc. and how genetic factors interact with environmental influences

Question 13

Cognitive Neuroscience

Answer 13

studies the neural basis of human cognitive processes, including perception, attention, memory, language, and decision-making. It often uses tools like functional brain imaging.

Question 14

Comparative Psychology

Answer 14

examines the behavior and mental processes of nonhuman animals to gain insights into the evolutionary and environmental factors that shape animal and human behavior and mental processes.

Question 15

Basic research, also known as pure research

Answer 15

Is
driven by scientific curiosity or an interest in understanding the mechanisms of brain function and brain-behavior relationships.

Question 16

applied research in biological psychology

Answer 16

takes findings from basic research and uses them to solve real-world issues.

-
developing therapeutic interventions for
mental disorders
-devising strategies to optimize learning and
memory
-creating neurofeedback methods for stress
reduction

Question 17

Transcranial magnetic

Answer 17

stimulation that stimulates the brain with magnetic pulses and can treat depression

Question 18

stimulation that uses brain implants to treat diseases like Parkinson’s

Answer 18

deep brain

Brain-computer interfaces

Answer 19

Pick up brain signals, analyze them, and translate them into commands for an external device like a
wheelchair or robotic arm

Question 20

Brain-computer interfaces

Answer 20

Pick up brain signals, analyze them, and translate them into commands for an external device like a
wheelchair or robotic arm
