Abstract
Everyday behavior is often thought to be determined by an interaction among environmental, organismic, and stimulus variables. In fact, much of the history of psychology has been fraught with attempts at understanding the various internal and external mechanisms involved in determining an individual’s performance. Neuropsychology in particular focuses on the organismic class of variables when attempting to explain or understand someone’s behavior.
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking Albert Einstein
