INTRODUCTION
There is a definite relationship between biological and cognitive psychology.
In order to have a thorough understanding about the complexities of
psychology, one must realize different schools of psychology often
complement one another.
Biological which is dealing with brain functioning and cognitive with factors
such as memory, problem solving, etc. can both be utilized in factoring
one’s behavior.
We’ll elaborate on the similarities and differences between the two,
essential contributions to memory, applications as well as what the
essential core points are in biological and cognitive psychology.
• Referred to as Biopsychology Dates back to Artistes study of the
environmental science of human behavior.
• The Internal and external sources in regards to the brain.
• Relationship between the function and the brain and reaction of the body
Seeks to understand how the brain influences thoughts feelings and
behaviors.
• Understandings gained from biopsychology aid in understanding biological
causes of mental illnesses and mental disorders.

THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION
Biological
According to Simply Psychology, Biology is defined as the study of life (from the
Greek bios meaning ‘life’ and logos meaning ‘study’). A biological perspective is
relevant to the study of psychology in three ways:
1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and
compared. This can help in the search to understand human behavior.
2. Physiology: how the nervous system and hormones work, how the brain
functions, how changes in structure and/or function can affect behavior. For
example, we could ask how prescribed drugs to treat depression affect behavior
through their interaction with the nervous system.
3. Investigation of inheritance: what an animal inherits from its parents,
mechanisms of inheritance (genetics). For example, we might want to know
whether high intelligence is inherited from one generation to the next.

Cognitive
Cognitive perspective deals with the mental functions of a person, relating to:
memory, perception, attention, thoughts, sensory, etc. The cognitive perspectives
relates the human brain to a computer that can process information, store data
and have input and output procedures (McLeod, 2008).
Cognitive Therapy: assists individuals to develop alternative ways of thinking
and behaving which reduce the psychological distress. Consequently cognitive
behavior therapy is the main approach or application used to treat people with a
wide array of mental health issues.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy: is designed to help individuals become conscious
of when they make negative interpretations, and of behavioral patterns which
reinforce the distorted thinking that can eventually led to harm.
COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
DEFINED
Cognitive Psychology:
The most important development in academic psychology since World War II has
been the advent and development of modern cognitive psychology (Goodwin,
2008). During the late nineteen hundreds the fields of psychology begin to take on
the scientific understanding of human conscious experience, and some of its key
players responsible for this new evolution of psychology were: Ebbinghaus,
Wundt, K¨ulpe, Wertheimer, and Titchener. Along with these men and other
pioneers have studied such mental phenomena as memory, attention, perception,
and thinking, known as; cognitive psychology.
Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that studies mental processes
including how people think, perceive, remember, and learn. As part of the larger
field of cognitive science, this branch of psychology is related to other disciplines
including neuroscience, philosophy, and linguistics (Cherry, 2014)

biological sense.
