Clearly. Yes. AND, this is because of baseless, unjustified, unproven and likely false core/"foundational" pseudo-'assumptions' which unreasonably constrain possibilities for explanation (and outlooks) TO SAY THE LEAST. I have I spelled out these pseudo-'assumptions' AND have offered up alternatives (often opposite) assumptions that are more likely true because they are biologically consistent, and the types of problems I just indicated DISAPPEAR (along with dualisms, like the nature/nurture debate).

Behavior is behavior patterns and is biological functioning, and if you cannot even FRAME your perspective on behaviors thoroughly and completely embraced in this way, then your Psychology has not even begun. It is NOT a matter of behavior patterns "linking with" Biology (somehow -- usually just as they imagine and wish) BUT, RATHER IS A MATTER OF BEHAVIOR BEING BIOLOGICAL in principles, structure, nature and development (ontogeny). Then like the functioning of any other biological system, IT WOULD ANOTHER INSTANCE OF BIOLOGY (what they apparently now call "systems biology", as if that were a new thing): see:
