TEACHING PHYSIOLOGICAL-PSYCHOLOGY VERSUS TEACHING BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY - IS THERE A DIFFERENCE

Some authors recommend that biological psychology replace physiological psychology. College catalogs from 539 undergraduate programs were examined to determine the percentage of colleges that offer courses in physiological psychology, biological psychology, both, or neither. Physiological psychology is still offered in 64.1% of the institutions studied, and biological psychology is taught in 11.3%. However, college catalog descriptions revealed considerable confusion over the difference between the two terms. © 1991, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
