Your task will be to describe how each perspective might approach this problem.

(1)First, for either Intelligence or Love (choose one), give a description of how each of the perspectives listed below would view the issue.For each perspective, develop a research question someone and a corresponding hypothesis.

For example, consider a difficult problem such as drug abuse.A scientist from the neuroscience perspective might be interested in brain function in long-term cocaine abuse.They might develop a question as to whether long term cocaine use damages memory. The corresponding hypothesis might be that long term cocaine use changes how much information can be stored in the memory system.
