      Psychology is definitely part of science! It is the study of mind and behaviour – so how does the brain process information going in to come to a conclusion about the world around us, and then how does the brain tell us to respond to the real world again using that information. Psychologists deal with all aspects of how we think and act – such as how we interact with other people, how we behave and how we do tasks and calculations. There have been psychologists trying to figure out the human mind since ancient times, but we have a lot more equipment now which makes things more interesting. It allows us to ask more and more complex questions about the mind but it also gives us a hope of answering some of them!
