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)

Answer to Question 2

50 for the advantages: they have human brains; they are often less expensive; they can communicate verbally
50 for the disadvantages: their brains and behavior are particularly complex; there are strict ethical constraints; research that focuses totally on humans lacks a comparative perspective
