520 _aInstant Notes in Physiological Psychology is a student-friendly guide to this core, but often daunting, subject. This book: presents core material in a way that can be easily understood by students of all backgrounds; demonstrates how mental activities depend on physiological processes; concentrates on hyuman psychology and illustrates descriptions with real examples; describes the nervous and endocrine systems in sufficient detail for the student to be able to understand how psychological processes depend on them; and discusses issues concerned witht he place of human beings in the natural world (evolution), and the use of physiological explanations for psychological phenomena (reductionism). - Cover.
