Read each of the research activities below and match them to one of the 6 subdivisions of biopsychology
(physiological psychology, psychopharmacology, neuropsychology, psychophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, comparative psychology).
1-Investigating which great ape species (chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos) is most capable of learning to use American sign language
2-Demonstrating that patients with frontal lobe damage engage in more impulse behaviors and have more frequent emotional outbursts
3-Discovering that the drug ketamine works to relieve depression symptoms much faster than traditional antidepressant drugs
4- Using brain imaging to determine which brain areas are most active when we look at others’ faces
5- Using rats to determine how cutting the connection between the two cerebral hemispheres might affect motor coordination
6- Finding that brain activity changes during different parts of the sleep cycle by using scalp electrodes to perform noninvasive recording of electrical signals
Answer:
1-Investigating which great ape species (chimpanzees, gorillas, and
bonobos) is most capable of learning to use American sign
language.
: comparative psychology (due to comparison of the behaviour of
primates)
2-Demonstrating that patients with frontal lobe damage engage in
more impulse behaviours and have more frequent emotional outbursts.
: Psychophysiology
3-Discovering that the drug ketamine works to relieve depression
symptoms much faster than traditional antidepressant drugs.
: Psychopharmacology (due to use of drug)
4- Using brain imaging to determine which brain areas are most
active when we look at others’ faces.
: Neuropsychology.
5- Using rats to determine how cutting the connection between the
two cerebral hemispheres might affect motor coordination:
physiological psychology (due to use of non-human organism)
6- Finding that brain activity changes during different parts of
the sleep cycle by using scalp electrodes to perform noninvasive
recording of electrical signals.
: cognitive neuroscience,
