This is the cite that i used to find my information.
Here are somethings that I found intresting about my topic.

. There are several branches of psychology and one of them is clinical which helps people with a mental illness.

. animal subjects are easier to control with pyschology then humans.

. theoretical pyschology is concerened with thought process.

. The birth of pyschology is credited to the German physiologist and psychologist Wilhelm Wundt, who established the first psychological laboratory at the University of Leipzig in 1879.

. Social pyschology is one of the subfields most closely associated with focuses on individual thought.

. The classical problems of experimental psychology are determining reaction times and reaction thresholds

. Clinical has undergone rapid growth in recent years and is now the largest subdiscipline

. Comparative psychology explores animal behavior in comparison to human behavior.

. physiological psychology is concerned with thought and behavior at the level of neurology.
