Psychology is a natural science that descrebies and explains the psychological and sensory aspects of human behavior. It studies the causes, conditions, and immediate consequences of sensations and emotions. Psychologists view the human mind as a function of the brain. Though is a result of chemical and mechanical laws that govern brain action. All human cognition is the result of psychological processes that can be observed and measured. A variety of computational models provide tools for studying the functional organization of the mind.
Because psychology is a natural science, it is based on objectively verified facts and the application of the scientific method. Psychologists conduct controlled experiments in a laboratory in order to support their basic assumptions and develop theories. Experimenters use several types of measurements, such as rate of response, reaction time, and level of neural activity in various areas of the brain. Psychologists use inductive methods to drive general principles from specific facts. They aim to acquire a body of facts and laws about the human mind.
Psychology has a number of related subfields, all of which are primarily concerned with the biological bases of behavior and mental states. For example, behavioral neuroscientists use animal models, typically rats, to develop theories about the neural and cellular mechanisms of human behavior. Cognitive neuroscientists study the neural aspects os psychological processes in humans. Neuropsychologists study specific aspects of mental impairment caused by brain damage or disease.
