Types of Psychology Each are classified as one of two types: 1.Basic research (example adolescents need more sleep) 2.Applied Psychology (In Minnesota this research resulted in being applied to the school system by having junior high and high schools start later in the morning and test scores went up)

Learning ( or Behavioral) Perspective A psychological approach that emphasizes how the environment and experience affect a person’s or animal’s actions.

Cognitive Perspective A psychological approach that emphasizes mental processes in perception, memory, language, problem solving and other areas of behavior.

Psychodynamic Perspective A psychological approach that emphasizes unconscious dynamics within the individual, such as inner forces, conflicts, or the movement of instinctual energy. This approach often utilizes psychoanalysis – treatment for mental illness that emphasizes unconscious emotions and conflicts.
