Reductionism is an approach that analyzes any phenomenon at more basic levels of analysis. Each level as we proceed becomes more minute in analysis. This behavior that we have been talking about can be analyzed at many levels. Research in this field has led to the discovery of many drugs and other techniques that alleviate suffering from such conditions as insomnia, schizophrenia, and depression. Major goal or application of of biological psychology is to improve human health. So behaviors like walking, sleeping, making memories, and reproductive behaviors all tend to have these mechanisms for their execution.
