message: physiological psychology is the study of human needs such as hunger and sleep.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.38.77.109 (talk) 00:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I wish to point out that this article makes a very serious error. It claims, wrongly as it happens, that physiological psychology and psychophysiology are synonyms. This is wrong. Physiological psychology is concerned with what happens to mental variables when physiological variables are changed, for example, how might memory be affected by changes to the hippocampus, or emotion be affected by changes to the limbic system. Psychophysiology is concerned with how physiological changes may occur after changes to a person's psychological state  - for example, how changes in emotion or arousal may affect galvanic skin response, electroencephaologram readings or electrocardiogram readings. This is explained clearly in the article on psychophysiology, and also on the "Discussion" attached to that article. I hope readers of this article will now read this comment and take note.

thread_title: Error  - physiological psychology and psychophysiology  - on this page 

message: I am a current senior at Clemson University and am devoting this semester to modifying psychology articles. I see multiple issues with this article. There should be more content in which physiological psychology is fleshed out more. I plan to do a brief section on the brain and behavior. I also would like to add such information regarding memory, emotions, and communication. I would also like to provide information regarding psychopharmacology and certain disorders. This should give other Wikipedians a better picture of what physiological psychology is and what it revolves around. Bmcomer (talk) 19:05, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I finally made all of the changes that I believe give this article a lot more information regarding what physiological psychology is and what areas of study fall under the topic. I gave more information on the careers in physiological psychology along with an overview of the nervous system, emotion, sleep, and memory. Although this article could stand for even more information, I think this gives it a better start for people seeking information about physiological psychology.Bmcomer (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

message: For the same reason as stated for memory and the brain, I cut out parts of emotion. This is psychology, not physiological psychology! There is so much to say about the physiology of emotions... Lova Falk talk 10:46, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emotion - cut out paragraphs 

message: Also the section "Sleep and its physiology" suffers from a lack of physiology. I kept it though, because there is at least some mention of some physiology, such as heart rate and breathing. However, why not mention the EEG patterns characteristic of the different stages??? They should be basic information for sleep physiology. When doing a simple "sleep physiology" search on google, I found this source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK19956/. Please, go ahead! Lova Falk talk 11:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sleep and its physiology 

message: Should this article have a section on how physiological psychology, the study of how brain processes affect the mind, differs from psycho-physiology, the study of how the mind affects physiological processes? Rollo August (talk) 17:32, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
