I LEARNED ABOUT BEHAVIORAL APPROACH

Biology is defined as the study of life (from the Greek bios meaning ‘life’ and logos meaning ‘study’). 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 behaviour through their interaction with the nervous system.

3. Investigation of inheritance: what an animal inherits from its parents, mechanisms of inheritance (genetics). For example, we might want to know whether high intelligence is inherited from one generation to the next.

What i learned about General Psychology.

In three meetings i learned what is the three main parts of our brain, and these are the cerebrum,cerebellum and the brain stem. And also the different kind of drugs.Before all i know about drugs is what we called "SHABU" but now i also learned that there are so many kind of drugs like "MARIWANA or WEEDS" that makes you high and makes laughing trip to the people who used it. And the "VALUM" for all the people who cant sleep at night. And for now thats all i learned from my subject General Psychology. And i know after this semester i learn a lot from my loving professor. Thank You.
