Document Summary
Physiological psychology: the branch under psychology focusing on physical behavior. The interest lies in the nervous system, and is studied on non-humans on anything related to behavior; learning, memory, sensory processes, emotional behaviour, motivation, sexual behaviour, and sleep. Comparative psychology: a psychology branch that tries to explain behavior as an evolutionary concept in response to the environment by studying behavior amongst the variety of species. The studies are related to the physiological psychology, but rather focus on the behavior that can be inherited. They compare the capacity of certain behavior between species. Behaviour analysis: the psychology that involves the environment and environmental events as a factor on an individual"s behavior- primarily learning and motivation. With this in mind, an individual is likely to repeat a behavior if it gained a positive response the first time around. They see the impact bahaviour has on the environment. Behaviour genetics: in which genes are studied in relation to behavior.
