      In my specific area, more biologically, but not exclusively. To really understand mental processes, we need to learn about factors at multiple levels of analysis, its not either or.

      Really both. I look at cognitive, behavioural and socio-emotional states and traits as well as research in neuroscience, especially for my Parkinson’s research.

      I would say both in Experimental Psychology. For instance, there’s a lot of people who look at how different behaviours are impacted by both social and biological factors (perception).
