Answer 2

Evolution of bio psychology with its emerging scope-

• Biological psychology, also referred to as biopsychology, is the study of mental processes and behavior with application of biological principles, i.e. the study of psychology in terms of human body.
• The view that psychological processes have biological (or physiological) correlation, is the fundamental assumption of the whole study of biological psychology.

• History -
• The study of biological psychology can be dated back as early as (980-1037 C.E.) when Avicenna, a physician who in 'The Canon of Medicine' recognized this psychology in the treatment of illnesses involving emotions, and developed a system for associating fluctuations in the pulse with inner feelings.
• Contemporary scenario -
• For many decades, biopsychology has been a platform for exchange of concepts, information, and techniques between psychology and the biological sciences. Humans may serve as experimental subjects in biological psychology experiments in multiple cases, however, most of the experimental works in biological psychology come from the study of mostly rats, mice, and monkeys.
• Hence, a critical assumption in biological psychology is that organisms share biological and behavioral similarities, enough to allow extended assumptions across multiple species.
• This relates biological psychology closely with comparative psychology, evolutionary psychology, and evolutionary biology.
• Biological psychology is also similar in paradigm and method to neuro-psychology, which relies heavily on the study of the human behavior with nervous system dysfunction.
• Evolution of brain and behavior; development of the nervous system and behavior over the life span; sensory processes and ones helping perception; control of movement and actions; control of behavioral states, including reproductive behavior; biological rhythms including circadian; emotions and mental disorders; neural mechanisms of learning and memory, language and cognition; and recovery after damage to the nervous system.
• Developing from and overlapping with biological psychology are such fields as behavior genetics, hormones and behavior as well.
