What does the term ‘neuropsychology’ refer to?

  1. The study of the physical structure of the brain

  2. The study of human behavior and mental processes

  3. The study of how behaviors are shaped by social influences

  4. The study of how the nervous system influences behavior

The correct answer is: The study of how the nervous system influences behavior

Neuropsychology specifically focuses on understanding how the structure and function of the nervous system influences behavior. Option A refers to the field of neuroanatomy, which involves studying the physical structure of the brain. Option B is a more general term for the study of human behavior and mental processes and does not specify a focus on the nervous system. Option C describes the field of social psychology, which explores how societal and cultural factors impact behavior. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it most accurately describes what neuropsychology specifically studies.
