Biological Level of Analysis
  1. 1.1 Outline principles that define BLOA and explain how these principles may be demonstrated in research
    1. #1 There are biological correlates of behaviour

      Nota:

      • - The works of neurotransmitters, hormones, specialised brain areas and genes  - REDUCTIONIST APPROACH 
      1. Newcomer et al (1999)

        Nota:

        • Aim: investigate how corisol levels interfere with verbal declarative memory (VDM)  Procedure:  - 51 normal and healthy individuals (recruited through ads) aged 18-30 -  randomised, double blind, controlled, 4 days  - consent  - three groups: 1 = 160 mg of cortisol, 2 = 40 mg, 3 = placebo  Results: high level of cortisol group = worse on VDM, low level group (mild stress) no memory decrease 
      2. #2 Animal research can provide insight into human behaviour
        1. Rosenzweig and Bennett (1972)
