Question

question
all of the following are relatively recent developments in understanding the biology of psychological phenomena
except
select an answer
a. epigenetics.
b. functionalism.
c. electroencephalography (eeg).
d. functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri).

Explanation:

• Epigenetics is a modern field linking gene expression to psychological traits, a recent development.
• Functionalism is an early 20th-century psychological school focused on mental function, not a recent biological advancement.
• EEG, while developed earlier, has seen modern refinements for psychological research, but it is not the oldest option here.
• fMRI is a relatively recent neuroimaging tool for studying brain activity in psychology.

The question asks for the non-recent development, which is functionalism.

Answer:

B. functionalism.
