1. 2. 3. All that is psychological is first physiologicalreductionist! All behavior has a cause – deterministic! Psychology should investigate the brain, neurochemistry and genetics 4. Patterns of behavior can be inherited Cognitions, emotions and behaviors are products of neurotransmitters in the brain and hormones in the body Animals may be studied as a means of understanding human behavior CAT scan, PET scan, MRI, fMRI Make it possible to: directly study living brains in action to correlate specific areas of brain damage with specific changes in a person’s personality or cognitive abilities Measures & records electrical activity (neuron pulses) in the brain ACTIVITY X-ray photographs that reveal detailed pictures of physical structures of the body. Allows us to study STRUCTURES Magnetic field and radio wave energy to create detailed pictures of structures in the body More detailed that CT scan STRUCTURES Identifies active cellular areas of the body. Injection of radiotracer, travels through body and is absorbed by organs and tissues. Machine detects energy given off by tracer & converts to 3-D picture Attached to glucose Active neurons burn more glucose ACTIVITY Increased blood flow to active areas of the brain Detects blood oxygen levels Allows us to directly observe brain functioning ACTIVITY http://www.science friday.com/videos/ watch/10104
