Psychologists undertake scientific study to try to explain and predict how people work. It is the study of our feelings and perceptions, mind and body, thoughts and behaviour. We conduct experiments in order to investigate how people develop throughout childhood, the way in which they acquire language and the behavioural changes that can occur as a result of brain injury, disease or life experience.
