Some are okay with deceiving subjects some are not. Invasive procedure on primates like chimpanzees-> similar brains . not right to open up human skull but okay with similar animals. Allow research that we usually cannot do. Unifying themes: psychology doesn"t exist in a vacuum-- exists in a society with certain values, concerns.

Not representative-- could be getting college students or professionals-- ya never kno. Sacrificing a lot of control-- could be turnt. can"t control extraneous examples. Computer programs-- bots-- that complete the surveys. Main cell body with nucleus (called the soma) branches coming off, two different kinds. thicker and thinner. Thicker: dendrites- receive info from synapse/other neurons. White film over axon-- myelin sheath- speed up transmission of info also like a cover of a wire. casing allows better conductor of electricity.
