Psychology
How accurate is eyewitness
testimony? Do dreams convey important information or are they mental garbage?
Are the brain and the mind different concepts? Is intelligence a gift bestowed
at birth or the result of a stimulating environment? These are questions that
intrigue psychologists and students who major in Psychology. Psychologists use
the scientific method to answer these and other questions related to the brain,
sensation and perception, learning, memory, thinking, emotions, motivation,
consciousness, personality, psychological disorders, and the social and cultural
world from conception to death.
