Psychology is the scientific study of behavior, thought & expression: note that it brain is left out. Psychologists either carry out or read & apply research about behavior & mental processes. Rationalism - pursuit of truth through reason and logic: thought & experience were real things. Is perception the same thing as reality: what is perceived is not always there. Empiricism - philosophical view that all knowledge are obtained through observable facts & experiences: mind is out of equation since it cannot be experienced, only behavior can be felt, applied to questions about perception, thinking, and behaviour.
