Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychophysics is the branch of psychology that studies the relationship between physical stimuli and the psychological experiences they produce. It aims to describe how the physical properties of stimuli relate to perceptual experiences, such as brightness, loudness, and taste. Neuropsychology, on the other hand, studies the relationship between brain function and behavior. Structuralism and functionalism were early schools of psychology that focused on the structure of the mind and the adaptive functions of behavior, respectively.
