BEHAVIORAL AND
PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY TECHNIQUES
Think about how you might watch or measure someone’s behavior to learn how the mind works.
Then, consider how tools like brain scans and other technology can show what is happening in the
brain during that process. Reflect on how early cognitive psychologists tried to understand this
process without the advanced tools we have today, and how modern technology now lets us study
the mind in much greater detail.
For this Assignment, you will choose one cognitive process from the Learning Resources and
examine how it could be studied using two different types of techniques—behavioral and
psychophysiological.
