SAMPLE TALK

According to the information in the text “Perspectives in modern psychology”, please, report on the biological perspective.

As the text “Perspectives in modern psychology” runs, the biological perspective and the study of physiology, in particular, is considered one of the fundamental trends in modern psychology. Sometimes the biological perspective is referred to as biopsychology or physiological psychology and this point of view makes the stress onto the physical and biological bases of behavior.

 

In the first place researchers who keep to a biological perspective look at how genetics influence different behaviors or how damage to specific areas of the brain may influence the man’s behavior and personality. Scholars give special attention to such things as the nervous system, genetics, the brain, the immune system, and the endocrine systems.

 

Our ability to explore and understand the human brain and nervous system made it possible for us to have significantly moved forward in the biological perspective over the last few decades. Computer based technologies allow researchers to study the brain in full under a wide range of conditions what was just impossible in the past.
