What are the most important aspects of Cognitive Psychology?
Cognitive psychologists emphasize thinking. Thus, they bring mental processes back into the picture. This approach is based on the idea that we speak to ourselves (think). This is called self-Instruction. For example, a person might tell themselves that they can not learn math. As a result they do not try since it would be pointless to try to do something that they can not do. What are the most important aspects of Biopsychology? This approach represents a neuroscience perspective. It assumes heredity & biolobical systems play an important role in the control of behavior. The emphasis is on brain-behavior relationships. What is Eclecticism? This is the school that includes combinations of other schools. Eclectic psychologists develop an approach to the study of behavior that employs some aspects of different schools of thought in combination. It makes sense that, if each school of thought had something important to contribute, most psychologists tend to have a more eclectic view.
