The Central Nervous System is the Brain.The brain takes information from senses, processes it, makes decisions and sends commands to the rest of the body.
The three major parts of the brain are hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. The hindbrain is located at the skull's rear, which is the lowest portion of the brain. It has three identified structures: the medulla. the pons, and the cerebellum. Medulla is responsible in some sensitive body functions such as breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure and body posture. Pons involved in regukating sleep and cerebellum involved in several intellectual functions ranging from the analysis and coordination of sensory information to problem solving. The Midbrain is located between the hindbrain and forebrain. It relays information between the brain and the eyes and ears. The Forebrain, the largest part of the brain, which has left and right sides that are called hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body.

CHAPTER 2 FACTORS OF DEVELOPMENT
Similarities and differences among individuals raise one of the fundamental questions. Developmental Psychologists today agree that both nature (an organism's biological inheritance) and nurture (an organism's environmental experiences) interact to produce specific developmental patterns and outcomes. Example question is "What is the cause of homosexuality?" some people says that its because of heredity, they inherit that trait to their family members because its on their genes. Some people says its because of the environment, they inherit that from people surrounds them.
Human Development refers to the study of human cycle from conception to death. Genes produce the particular characteristics of each person. A child's sex is determined by a particular combination of genes. XX combination results to a female child and XY combination results to a male child.
We have 13 Stages of Life, this are Ovum, Embryo, Fetus, Birth, Infancy, Babyhood, Childhood (early and late), Puberty, Adolescence, Adulthood, Middle Age, and Death.
CHAPTER 1 PSYCHOLOGY AS A SCIENCE
Some people says that psychologists read people mind but the truth is its not like that. Psychology is a study of behavior and mental processes. They study behavior and mental processes that's why they can understand or distinguish what kind of personality of an individual have. Behavior includes our actions and reactions such as the way talk, our facial expressions, and our movement. Mental processes refers to the activity of our minds such as thinking, feeling, and remembering. As a psychologists or a person studying psychology, you need to be an observer so that you can understand and explain the behavior of an individual. Another one is to be imaginative or simply predictable because you need to predict what will happen in the future.
There are classifications of behavior, first is overt behavior that can be observed by anyone and second one is the covert behavior that is characterized by a behavior that is known to the individual performing it only or simply not obvious. Other classifications are conscious means aware, unconscious means unaware, rational means reasonable, irrational means unreasonable, voluntary means freewill and involuntary means force.
The schools of psychology are structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, gestalt, and behaviorism. Structuralism is about the structure of te brain while functionalism refers to the function of the brain. Psychoanalysis gives emphasis on the influence of sexual and aggressive impulses on the way people think, feel and behave. Gestalt concentrates on how people consider individual elements together as units or wholes. Behaviorism focuses on how stimulus-response would produce a behavior.
The areas of psychology are Physiological Psychology, Comparative Psychology, Genetic Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Committive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Personality Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology, Education Psychology, Social Psychology and Industrial Psychology.
