Describe research regarding the biological processes that influence human behavior by examining the historical evolution of the field of biopsychology.

For the final project in this course, you will examine existing research in the field to determine how biopsychology has changed, and you will investigate a
possible gap in the research that has not been addressed. This assessment will allow you to foster and improve your skills at reading, interpreting, and writing
psychological works. It will also help you learn your place within the field and how to combine both your personal perspective and your opinions with
established, empirical research to make original claims.
Final Project Part I is supported by three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, and Five. The first part of the final project, the research investigation, is due in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
 Describe research regarding the biological processes that influence human behavior by examining the historical evolution of the field of biopsychology
 Determine appropriate research designs used in biopsychology for application in the study of aspects of the biological processes that influence human
behavior
 Examine issues of ethics in research in biopsychology for informing appropriate conclusions
 Interpret claims made by research in biopsychology for conveying appropriate conclusions that are supported by peer-reviewed evidence
 Develop basic research questions supported by peer-reviewed evidence by identifying gaps in the research of biopsychology
Prompt
For your final project, you will conduct an investigation of the existing research in biopsychology.
