Talk:Biological psychology/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the Nobel laureates section there is the text: "The following Nobel Prize winners could reasonably be considered biological psychologists." The list was apparently assembled by someone who has no idea about the history of the field. It is entirely unreasonable to include Lorenz, Tinbergen and von Frisch as biopsychologists given that they were neither psychologists nor biopsychologists. They worked within a completely different field/tradition (Ethology) and were given their Nobels for work done in that field. Although this work certainly has impacted biological psychology it is unfair to call them biopsychologists.
