	Pioneers of Psychology [2001 Tour] - School of Education & Psychology
		In his preface to the first edition of his Principles o f Physiological Psychology, dated 1874, he begins with the impressive statement that the work 'was presented in order to "mark out a new domain of science."1 He states flatly that, as a science, psychology cannot be based upon any metaphysical assumptions whatsoever.
		Despite Wundt's calling the new science, physiological psychology, heinsisted the psychic and the physiological process are separate andparallel.2 As causality in natural science is a closed system,3 the phenomena that are studied by natural science cannot affect the mind or beaffected by it.
		Folk psychology is differentiated from ethnology by Wundt because the latter is concerned primarily with the external cultures and only in a very incidental fashion with the psychological characteristics that are at the core of folk psychology.

	Physiological psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physiological psychology is a subdivision of biological psychology that studies the neural mechanisms of behavior through direct manipulation of the brains of nonhuman animal subjects in controlled experiments.
		Unlike other subdivisions within biological psychology, the main focus of physiological psychological research is the development of theories that explain brain-behavior relationships rather than the development of research that has translational value.
		One example of physiological psychology research is the study of the role of the hippocampus in learning and memory.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Hume (1892)
		Lastly, in considering the contributions made by physiological psychology, I have even heard it said that the great lesion taught by physiological psychology was the organic or united character of man's various faculties that ordinary psychology was in the habit of treating as separate faculties.
		It is quite true that a psychology that speaks of the distinguished states in consciousness as absolutely separate is incorrect, but this tendency of separation is due to the employment in part of the method used by physiological psychology which lays the emphasis on the elements, upon the differences, and tends ignore the unity.
		Hence the older psychology when studied with a view to be an introduction to the deeper problems of philosophy, attempted to lead the pupil up gradually to a position from which he could detect the limited character of the mechanical hypothesis.

		Although physiological psychology is concerned with physical organisms, it is distinguished from such life sciences as physiology and biology by its focus on behavior.
		Physiological psychology overlaps with the field of neurobiology, which is the study of the nervous system and its functions.

	Philosophy of Physiological Psychology
		Still in the domain of psychology, the primary notions of natural morality and human dignity obstruct the acceptance of Freud's thesis that psychological normality consists of a particular way of dealing with (rather than excluding) the seeds of sexual perversion with which all humans are born (Freud 1949).
		Other members of the third force openly oppose the concept of motivational homeostasis (which is a cornerstone in physiological psychology) because human existence is allegedly characterized by auto-transcendence rather than by the satisfaction of motivational needs (Frankl 1969, Maslow 1969).
		Physiological psychology was explicitly criticized by Frick (1971) for failing to study human behavior in a humanistic way.

		For Epicurus, psychology was a branch of physics in subordination to a theory of hedonistic ethics.
		Again psychiatry or psychopathology, the science of mental disease, also physiological psychology, which, in a broad sense, includes all systematic study of the organic conditions of mental life, or, as Ladd defines it, "psychology approached and studied from the physiological side".
		In empirical psychology, with modern writers, the next step after determining the method of the science is to attempt a classification of the phenomena of mental life.

	ORIGINS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY
		The modern history of physiological psychology has been written by psychologists who have combined the experimental methods of psychology with those of physiology and have applied them to the issues that concern all psychologists.
		Others are concerned with comparative aspects of behavior and its physiological basis; they compare the nervous systems of animals from a variety of species to make hypotheses about the evolution of brain structure and the behavioral capacities that correspond to this evolutionary development.
		Although physiological psychology is the original name for this field, several other terms are now in general use, such as biological psychology, biopsychology, psychobiology, and behavioral neuroscience.

	Forsyth's Overview of Psychology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The study of dysfunction is perhaps the most visible portion of psychology, for the lay person assumes that all psychologists study and treat abnormal behavior.
		Although the functional is as much a part of psychology as the dysfunctional, by examining the way our usually reliable psychological systems break down we gain information that is both theoretically and pragmatically useful.
		Psychology is, at once, both a science and a practice.

		Physiological psychology focuses on the relationship between our biological makeup and our behaviour and experiences.
		However, other psychologists (including many physiological psychologists) take the view that we cannot explain complex human behaviour and experience just in terms of brain structure and chemicals.
		There are other psychological variables which need to be considered, for example, such as how we act alone compared to how we behave in groups.
