VIII. Translate the sentences from Russian into English.
Что составляет предмет научного изучения в психологии? Это конкретные факты психической жизни, характеризуемые качественно и количественно. Однако, научная психология не может ограничиваться описанием психологического факта. Научное познание требует перехода от описания явлений к их объяснению. Последнее предполагает раскрытие законов, которым подчиняются эти явления. Поэтому предметом изучения психологии становятся вместе с психологическими фактами и психологические законы.
Знание закономерных связей не раскрывает конкретных механизмов, посредством которых закономерность может проявляться. Поэтому в задачи психологии входит наряду с изучением психологических фактов и закономерностей установление механизмов психической деятельности.
Итак, психология как наука изучает факты, закономерности и механизмы психики.
