Answer to Question 1

Answer:
50 for describing physiological psychology and neuropsychology
50 for explaining how these two fields compensate for each other's weaknesses; students should discuss the concept of converging operations, and their answer could be strengthened by providing examples (e.g., research on memory or on Korsakoff's syndrome)
