Biological approach - main assumptions

Main assumptions of the biological approach.

• Behaviour, cognitions and emotions can be explained in terms of the working of the brain and the effect of hormones, genetics and evolution.
• Similarities and differences between people can be understood in terms of biological factors and their interaction with other factors.

This matters because biological approach - main assumptions determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply biological approach - main assumptions to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: Biological approach - main assumptions is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
