Why Is It Important For Psychologists To Have An Understanding Of The Structure Of The Nervous System, Neural Conduction, And Synaptic Transmission?
Important for psychologists to having an understanding of the structure of the nervous system because:A) It will help them to have a better understanding of the effects of certain types of brain damage. Help them to treat head trauma and stroke patients.B) Will enhance their ability to understand the latest findings reported in scientific journals and be able to apply the findings clinically.C) Clearly distinct structural regions of the brain provide the possibility to validate and elaborate on various psychological categories. E.g. Hippo-campus validates the notion of ‘memory consolidation’ as being distinct from recall.Neural conduction:A) Provides insight into various neurological disorders for the clinician.B) Give insight to clinicians with patients dealing with paraplegic conditions.C) For the academic cognitive and perceptual psychologist provides important insights into sensory processing speeds and reaction times. Maybe important experimentally or even theoretically.Synaptic t
