 Free Psychology Essays: Convergent Operations in Biopsychology
All of the six divisions of biopsychology have their shortcomings, and therefore quite often questions can only be answered through the use of several approaches, balancing out each others weak points.
The common weakness of physiological psychology and psychopharmacology is that they are limited in their dealings with human subjects because of the direct brain manipulation involved.
Therefore, for all the areas of biopsychology that cannot deal directly with human subjects, the common problem is that there is always a certain doubt about the applicability of the animal study findings to the human world.
