research approach
CORRELATION |
|
Definition
associations between behavior and physiology--no interventions or manipulations
relative easy
humane
EX:
hormones v behavior
brain imaging:fMRI, MRI, Cat
case studies: damage to specific brain areas
*Cannot determine cause and effect |

EX: inject durg/hormone
remove/disable specific brain areas |
