Functionalism Biological psychology concerns fundamentally the correlation between psychological processes as well as the underlying physiological events otherwise known as the mind-body phenomenon. It focuses on the braining functioning and the entire nervous system involving actions such as feeling, perceiving, learning, sensing, and thinking that are acknowledged as characteristics of human being and other animals (Kalat, 2015). Concerning information processing, it is described that the brains complete the functions that can be compared to how a computer execute functions. Functionalism perceives mental behavior and life in terms of active adaption to an individual’s environment. It offers the general foundation for coming up with psychological theories that are not easily testable using controlled experiments like applied psychology (Lad et al, 2019).
