- ability to map certain areas on a brain structure
- helps patients with brain damage and establishing basis of mental disorders
- you can't see mental processes so inferences must be made based on limited evidence
- ability to map certain areas on a brain structure

- central executive
- phonological store
- articulatory loop

- negative
- only focused on mental processes and not on emotions or motivations
- machine reductionism
- lacks external validity
- abstracts tasks which are too theoretical
- lacks mundane realism
- abstracts tasks which are too theoretical

- positive
- practical applications
- dominant approach used today by NHS for treating anxiety, depression, and OCD
- credible scientific basis
- uses objective methods that are controlled
- lab experiments, scans
- uses objective methods that are controlled
- less deterministic than other approaches
- free to think before reacting to a stimulus and choosing a response
