Question
which subdiscipline of biopsychology is most likely to be identified with the assessment of the memory deficits of patients with damage to the frontal portions of the neocortex?
physiological psychology
psychophysiology
experimental psychology
neuropsychology
Neuropsychology focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior, especially in assessing cognitive deficits like memory problems due to brain damage such as to the frontal portions of the neocortex. Physiological psychology is more about normal physiological processes underlying behavior. Psychophysiology examines the relationship between psychological processes and physiological responses. Experimental psychology uses experimental methods to study various psychological phenomena but is not as specifically focused on brain - behavior relationships in the context of brain damage as neuropsychology.
