- Synopsis
- Biological Psychology is one of the main subjects psychology students must study and universities must offer to have BPS accredited status in the UK. It is similarly an essential topic on Psychology degrees in Europe and Australia. The subject is often taught in the first year and can be challenging, as it demands an understanding of brain physiology and basic neuroscience, which is then applied to psychological topics such as emotions, senses, behaviours (eating, sleeping etc) and psychological disorders such as schizophrenia. Wickens is a well-known text in this field, formerly published by Pearson but not updated since 2009. It is praised for its historical context setting, a very important aspect for students wishing to attain BPS accreditation, and for its accessible whilst still scientifically rigorous writing style.
