developed in order to understand certain behavior. The most common approaches in psychology are psychodynamic, behavior, cognitive, humanistic, and biological approaches. The ultimate goal of each method is to help individuals change unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

strengths and weaknesses and there similarities and differences. AC1.1, AC3.1 Biological psychology looks at the biological aspects of behaviour. It looks at how the brain 's structure, chemistry, activity and genetic make-up etc. relates to behaviour.

Pattern recognition is needed for an vast amount of occupations but the ones that very necessary to have it are musicians, detective and firefighters.
