ABSTRACT
In the introduction I identified a core of five issues that I believe are general to all of the current debates in psychobiology. In this chapter I intend to review the current state of play on those issues in the light of what I have said in preceding chapters. The issues of interest were: (1) the relationship between psychology and biology; (2) the value of studies on non-human animals; (3) the nature of functional specialization in the brain; (4) our response to the challenges of cognitive psychology; and (5) the need to explain behaviour in the real world.
