What field of psychology seeks to understand the biological basis of behavior?

  1. Cognitive psychology

  2. Behavioral psychology

  3. Neuropsychology

  4. Clinical psychology

The correct answer is: Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology is the field of psychology that seeks to understand the biological basis of behavior. Cognitive psychology, behavioral psychology, and clinical psychology all focus on different aspects of behavior and do not primarily study the biological basis of behavior. Cognitive psychology focuses on mental processes, behavioral psychology focuses on observable behaviors and their causes, and clinical psychology focuses on diagnosing and treating mental illnesses. Therefore, options A, B, and D are not the best choices for understanding the biological basis of behavior.
