How do genetics affect our behaviour?
What’s localization?
Does evolution play a role in behaviour?
These are just a few of the interesting and important questions that we will be exploring in this book as we explore how biology affect our behaviour.
So, join me as together we explore the fascinating world of biological psychology in this book with an intriguing conversational tone that clearly breakdown and critically evaluates concepts and theories so everyone can enjoy the wonders of psychology… and not have a headache at the end!
This book is avialable in both ebook and paperback edition and the ebook is published very wide and avialable is in a lot of countries and is selling rather well and as a result of this i would like to further my market reach by translating it into other languages so that others can enjoy and love psychology i do.
Chapter 1- Localization:
The first stop on our journey to understand how biology can affect our behaviour is the theory of localisation.
Localisation is the theory that certain areas of the brain are responsible for certain psychological functions.
A possibly simpler way to think about it is that certain areas of a computer are responsible for its functions.
For example a hard drive storages information much the same way how the brain stores memories.
Furthermore, there are two types of localisation:
Strict localisation which in its simplest terms means that one area of the brain is responsible for a psychological function.
Weak localisation which is the idea that one area of the brain is dominant in a function, but other areas of the brain may take over its function as well.
We will explore these two ideas as we go along in this chapter.
Research into this area started over 150 years ago with our first case study.
