In biological psychology, there is one of my favourite topics in psychology. It might not be related to clinical psychology, mental health or even forensic psychology, but I love it anyway. Psychophysics is a fascinating area of psychology that has always grabbed my attention and made me want to understand more about how a physical stimulus leads to a psychological experience. For example, how does physical stimuli of chocolate create a chocolate taste in our minds, and how does chocolate create the psychological experience of pleasure. These are some of the questions that psychophysics aims to answer. In this biological psychology podcast episode, you'll learn what is psychophysics, what does psychophysics cover and what might the future of psychophysics be. If you enjoy learning about physiological psychology, biopsychology and how our physical environment impacts our psychological processes then this will be a brilliant episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how recalling old parties might lead to more moderate drinking, how a new government report advises a mental health approach over counter-terrorism for incels, and how the framing effect impacts therapy.
