What is the formal name for the branch of psychology that focuses on behavior and mental processes?

  1. Biological psychology

  2. Cognitive psychology

  3. Developmental psychology

  4. Neuropsychology

The correct answer is: Cognitive psychology

Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that studies behavior and mental processes. Biological psychology, developmental psychology, and neuropsychology focus on different aspects of psychology, but are not the formal name for this particular branch. Biological psychology focuses on the biological basis of behavior and mental processes, developmental psychology focuses on the changes that occur throughout the lifespan, and neuropsychology focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior. Therefore, B is the most appropriate answer for this question.
