SEE SHORT BLURB FOR ALTERNATE COPY... A complex, intriguing, and important verbal entity, the proverb has been the subject of a vast number of opinions, studies, and analyses. To accommodate the assorted possible audiences, this volume outlines seven views of the proverb -- personal, formal, religious, literary, practical, cultural, and cognitive. Because the authors goal is to provide a scientific understanding of proverb comprehension and production, he draws largely on scholarship stemming from the formal, cultural, and cognitive views. The only book about proverbs that is written from the standpoint of cognitive science, cognitive psychology, and experimentalism, this text provides a larger, more interdisciplinary perspective on the proverb. It also gives a theoretically more integrated approach to proverb cognition. The conceptual base theory of proverb comprehension is extended via the cognitive ideals hypothesis so that the theory now addresses issues regarding the creation, production, and

Dan et al 8/14 Let me highlight another conversation from the comments, this time between Kevin Hall, Don Byrd, and myself, on the merits of direct instruction, worked examples, inquiry learning, and some blend of the three. Some biography: Kevin Hall is a teacher as well as a student of cognitive psychology research. His questions and criticisms around here tend to tug me in a useful direction, away from the motivational factors that usually obsess me and closer towards cognitive concerns. The fact that both he and Don Byrd have some experience in the classroom keep them from the worst excesses of cognitive science, which is to see cognition as completely divorced from motivation and the classroom as different only by degrees from a research laboratory. Kevin Hall: While people tend to debate which is better, inquiry learning or direct instruction, the research says sometimes its one and sometimes the other. A recent meta study found that inquiry is on average better, but only when enhanced ...

As I read about the new index developed by Neil Hall, I quickly wanted to know where I would lie on his graph. I was not surprised to find myself within the top of the Kardashian Index. I am a postdoc who started Twitter very early, systematically releasing tweets about recent publications in neuroscience and cognitive science for almost 4 years. I can easily gather statistics about my contribution to Twitter since most of my links are tracked for the number of clicks they generate. Over the last 4 years, I drove tens of thousands of people to peer-reviewed research and PubMed abstracts, responded to hundreds of questions from the general public about the scientific research of other labs, and engaged in direct conversation with experts about current issues in neuroscience research. I also founded NEURO.tv, publishing 1-hour long conversations between experts in neuroscience on YouTube. We do not talk about the weather on NEURO.tv, we talk about what matters to current experts in the many ...

First paragraph: Let me put up my hand straight away: I am a naturalist about cognition. What does this mean? First things first: I take cognition to be a catch-all term encompassing the various states and processes that we typically identify as psychological phenomena (the states and processes of memory, perception, reasoning, and so on). The guiding thought of naturalism is that philosophy should be continuous with empirical science. So the naturalist about cognition (thats me) thinks that the philosophical understanding of cognition (of the states and processes of memory, perception, reasoning, and so on) should be continuous with cognitive science. I take the naturalist notion of continuity with empirical science to be determined by the following principle of conflict resolution (Wheeler 2013): if and when there is a genuine clash between philosophy and some eminently well-supported (by the data) empirical science, then that is a good reason for the philosopher to at least revisit her ...

Music and cognition refers to the study of musical thinking. In basic terms, it seeks to understand the mental processes involved in listening to, creating, and performing music. Musical thinking is, however, a vast, complex issue that also implicates memory, emotion, language, culture, and the thinking body. To address such a highly interdisciplinary topic, articles in this entry draw mainly from music psychology, cognitive science, ethnomusicology, and music theory, complemented by work in related fields. Though publications in music psychology and neuroscience of music greatly outnumber contributions from the humanities, it is the intention of this article to present a balance of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Moreover, while scholarly methods, goals, and discourse often differ radically from one discipline to the next, there has been an increasing interest in cross-disciplinary dialogue in music and cognition research. Grouping scholarship by theme in this bibliography, as ...

The journal was established in 1974 and is published bimonthly. Neurobiology is the branch of biology that deals with nervous system functions and structures. More specifically, neurobiology focuses on the cells and tissues of the nervous system and how they can form structures and circuits (pathways) for controlling the body. This system includes common structures, such as the brain and spinal cord, and nerves. Neurobiology can be classified as a sub-discipline within the broader field of physiology.. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system.Traditionally, neuroscience has been seen as a branch of biology. However, it is currently an interdisciplinary science that collaborates with other fields such as chemistry, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, ...
Our research focuses on how the brain and the visual system process affective information, and how these processes contribute to the onset and maintenance of stress states and disorders. We take a systems neuroscience approach to translational investigations of the interrelations of the neural circuitry and neuroendocrine cascades associated with stress.. Our goal is to map some of the candidate neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms that underlie maladaptive attention in stress states and stress-related disorders by integrating tools from cognitive science, neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, and clinical science. We examine the interactions of perception (cognition), arousal and valence (affect), and stress states on the continuum from normative to maladaptive (psychopathology). Our long-term goal is an enhanced understanding of the onset and maintenance of symptom episodes in posttraumatic stress disorder, with an ultimate goal of prevention.. Our lab utilizes a variety of methods, including ...
EOF Pete Walker provides a convincing argument for the recognition and proper treatment of emotional flashbacks and complex PTSD, which result from childhood neglect and emotional abuse. Responding Functionally To Emotional Flashbacks ~ Pete Walker Emotional flashbacks strand clients in the cognitions and feelings of danger, helplessness and hopelessness that characterized their original abandonment, when there was no safe parental figure to go to for comfort and support. Managing Emotional Flashbacks. By Pete Walker Here is a map of the layering of defensive reactions to the underlying feelings of abandonment typically found in Complex PTSD. By Pete Walker, 925 283-4575. Emotional Flashbacks Get Triggered Many people in intimate relationships experience emotional flashbacks. This rescue process then, is a gradual emancipation from self-alienation, and a gradual deliverance from the internalized parents who trigger the client with flashback-inducing catastrophizations and perfectionistic ...

Author David DiSalvo presents evidence from evolutionary and social psychology, cognitive science, neurology, and even marketing and economics to prove that what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains happy leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult. He interviews many of the top thinkers in psychology and neuroscience today. From this research-based platform, DiSalvo draws out insights that we can use to identify our brains foibles and turn our awareness into edifying action. Ultimately, he argues, the research does not serve up ready-made answers, but provides us with actionable clues for overcoming the plight of our advanced brains and, consequently, living more fulfilled lives ...
Abstract: After the recent explosion of cognitive science research about our moral and social functioning, philosophers began to look at the possibility and desirability of enhancing our moral faculty (Savulescu and Persson, 2008, 2011; Harris, 2010; 2011). But what exactly moral enhancement means, and can neuroscience of morality and moral psychology be helpful in finding ways to enhance our moral faculty? I will examine two challenges to the way evidence from moral psychology was so far used in the debate. First, in the current literature the examples of moral enhancement included enhancing empathy, trust and other traits that may translate into dispositions for pro-social behaviour. However, some have pointed out that prosocial does not equal moral (e.g. Chan and Harris, 2011; Pacholczyk, 2011). I suggest that although the point is convincing, there will also be cases when modifying empathy or trust is indeed conducive to moral outcomes. Consequently, simply pointing out whether an ...

Note: This is a virtual presentation. Here is the link for where the presentation will be taking place.. Title: A Unified Visual Saliency Model for Neuromorphic Implementation. Abstract: Although computer capabilities have expanded tremendously, a significant wall remains between the computer and the human brain. The brain can process massive amounts of information obtained from a complex environment and control the entire body in real time with low energy consumption. This thesis tackles this mystery by modeling and emulating how the brain processes information based on the available knowledge of biological and artificial intelligence as studied in neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, and computer engineering.. Saliency modeling relates to visual sense and biological intelligence. The retina captures and sends much data about the environment to the brain. However, as the visual cortex cannot process all the information in detail at once, the early stages of visual processing ...

Neurolinguistics is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methods and theories from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, communication disorders and neuropsychology. Researchers are drawn to the field from a variety of backgrounds, bringing along a variety of experimental techniques as well as widely varying theoretical perspectives. Much work in neurolinguistics is informed by models in psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, and is focused on investigating how the brain can implement the processes that theoretical and psycholinguistics propose are necessary in producing and comprehending language. Neurolinguists study the physiological mechanisms by which the brain processes information related to language, and evaluate linguistic and psycholinguistic theories, using aphasiology, brain imaging, electrophysiology, and ...

I am a researcher in cognitive science at the Institut Jean Nicod/Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, France. I study core knowledge, i.e. forms of knowledge that are cross-culturally universal and often appear very early in infancy. In particular I look at how core knowledge of physical objects and the social world continues to influence our lives as adults through shaping linguistic and perceptual systems, often unconsciously. I also have research interests in the psychology of expertise and the sociology of science, trying to understand why experts are so often wrong. Its this latter topic that I will be blogging about most often through the Cognition and Culture website ...

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a modern and more flexible approach than traditional hypnotherapy. It does not involve the reading of repetitive scripts whilst the client is in trance. Instead, it tailors the treatment to the individual needs of the client and their individual issue.. Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a scientific approach to hypnosis and therapy, based on the best elements from many different disciplines, such as cognitive science and neuroscience. It is an extremely flexible approach, evolving all the time as our knowledge of the human mind advances. The goal is to utilise the clients own perceptions (of which trance states are taken to be an everyday part) to bring about effective change at both subconscious and conscious levels, from the clients perceived problem state, to a state that the client (not the therapist) defines as a solution state, i.e when the problem no longer exists.. Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for changing unwanted beliefs and behaviour and, as a ...

Mental health. Even the best treatments in mental health require improvement. We believe therapy development can increasingly benefit from psychological science via targeting those thought processes that 1) worsen psychological symptoms 2) improve wellbeing.. Mental Imagery. An area in cognitive science that presents exciting opportunities for improving mental health concerns mental imagery (e.g. seeing in the minds eye, hearing in the minds ear). We use mental imagery all the time, for example in remembering the past or thinking about the future. However mental imagery has a powerful impact on our emotions, and can play an important (yet often neglected) role in emotional disorders (1).. Emotional mental images can be problematic when they are negative. We use the term flashbacks to refer to distressing images that spring to mind unbidden, such as past memories of trauma. Images can also be flash-forwards to the future - a term we have coined in relation to suicidal thinking and to ...

Do not expect any help from explanations of fiction. At best you will understand the explanations…. Sewn up in these explanations you will look for what you already know, and that which is really there you will not see.. -Franz Kafka. Authors and literary scholars have long held on to the idea that our works have distinctive powers to evoke, but not resolve, the complexity of everyday consciousness. In the age of cognitive science, that notion seems to be losing ground. We live in an era when a literary scholar can confidently explore The Origins of Language and Consciousness, a philosopher can purport to have explained consciousness, and cognitive linguists are able to instruct us in The Metaphors We Live By (1980). As Mark Turner has suggested in Reading Minds (1991), with genial overstatement, ours is the age in which the human mind was discovered. We must account for a measure of PR in such claims. Literary authors might be inclined to point out, for example, that the kind of ...

Cultural evolutionary theory conceptualises culture as an information-transmission system whose dynamics take on evolutionary properties. Within this framework, however, innovation has been likened to random mutations, reducing its occurrence to chance or fortuitous transmission error. In introducing the special collection on children and innovation, we here place object play and play objects - especially functional miniatures - from carefully chosen archaeological contexts in a niche construction perspective. Given that play, including object play, is ubiquitous in human societies, we suggest that plaything construction, provisioning and use have, over evolutionary timescales, paid substantial selective dividends via ontogenetic niche modification. Combining findings from cognitive science, ethology and ethnography with insights into hominin early developmental life-history, we show how play objects and object play probably had decisive roles in the emergence of innovative capabilities. ...

Abstract ABSTRACT:. Unlike adults, children are not granted the assumption of having decision-making capacity because their cognitive capacities are not yet fully developed. Still, child participation is increasingly encouraged within the clinical and research context. The trend towards inclusion has been initiated by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children (1989). The openness of the convention, however, might lead to contradictory interpretations. The notion of evolving capacities recalls mainstream developmental psychological theories that view the child as an impaired being and may hamper childrens right to participation. This shows that policy measures are not a panacea and that other tools are needed to promote childrens involvement in medical practice. For this purpose, the authors of this essay aim to undo the traditional, cognitive approach to decision-making capacity and to incorporate the conceptual framework of the capability approach in pediatrics. The capability ...
Cognitive neuroscience and neurorehabilitation have undergone considerable development as a specialized field of basic research and clinical application over the past few decades. Cognitive neuroscience is a scientific field related with an academic study of the biological and molecular aspects that underlie cognition and mental processes to address the issues of theoretical and mechanistic basis on cognitive impairments following brain injury.Historically, cognitive neuroscience has emerged to integrate the new theoretical ground with approaches in experimental psychology, neuropsychology and neuroscience. The field of cognitive neuroscience has been increasingly recognized as an area of great interest since new technologies including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have been evolved in the late 20th century.The damaged brain largely undergoes changes in neural circuits and

In one embodiment, a catheter having a flashback chamber is provided, the flashback chamber having a proximal end, a distal end and an inner wall. The distal end of the flashback chamber being in fluid communication with the catheter needle. A moveable member within the flashback chamber sealingly engages with the inner wall of the flashback chamber, the member being movable within the flashback chamber in a direction from the distal end to the proximal end of the flashback chamber. The movement of the member creates a vacuum within the flashback chamber.
The use of hydrogen augmented fuel is being investigated by various researchers as a method to extend the lean operating limit, and potentially reduce thermal NOx formation in natural gas fired lean premixed (LPM) combustion systems. The resulting increase in flame speed during hydrogen augmentation, however, increases the propensity for flashback in LPM systems. Real-time in-situ monitoring of flashback is important for the development of control strategies for use of hydrogen augmented fuel in state-of-the-art combustion systems, and for the development of advanced hydrogen combustion systems. The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Woodward are developing a combustion control and diagnostics sensor (CCADS), which has already been demonstrated as a useful sensor for in-situ monitoring of natural gas combustion, including detection of important combustion events such as flashback and lean blowoff. Since CCADS is a flame ionization sensor technique, the low ion concentration ...
Cognitive neuroscience has grown into a rich and complex discipline, some 35 years after the term was coined. Given the great expanse of the field, an inclusive and authoritative resource such as this handbook is needed for examining the current state-of-the-science in cognitive neuroscience. Spread across two volumes, the 59 chapters included in this handbook systemically survey all aspects of cognitive neuroscience, spanning perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, self and social cognition, higher cognitive functions, and clinical applications.

As citizens of capitalist, free-market societies, we tend to celebrate choice and competition. However, in the 21st century, as we have gained more and more choices, we have also become greater targets for persuasive messages from advertisers who want to make those choices for us. In Sold on Language, noted language scientists Julie Sedivy and Greg Carlson examine how rampant competition shapes the ways in which commercial and political advertisers speak to us. In an environment saturated with information, advertising messages attempt to compress as much persuasive power into as small a linguistic space as possible. These messages, the authors reveal, might take the form of a brand name whose sound evokes a certain impression, a turn of phrase that gently applies peer pressure, or a subtle accent that zeroes in on a target audience. As more and more techniques of persuasion are aimed squarely at the corner of our mind which automatically takes in information without conscious thought or ...

Repeated measures: The same participants take part in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes the same group of participants.. Pro: Fewer people are needed as they take part in all conditions (i.e. saves time) Con: There may be order effects. Order effects refer to the order of the conditions having an effect on the participants behavior. Performance in the second condition may be better because the participants know what to do (i.e. practice effect). Or their performance might be worse in the second condition because they are tired (i.e. fatigue effect).. Matched pairs: One pair must be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the other to the control group. e.g. group A- 2 hours sleep, group B 10 hours sleep matched for age, gender, normal sleeping length Pro: Reduces participant (i.e. extraneous) variables because the researcher has tried to pair up the participants so that each condition has people with similar abilities ...

Cognitive neuropsychology is a department of cognitive psychology that aspires to understand the way the function and structure of the mind relates to certain psychological processes. Cognitive psychology is actually the science that seems at the way the brains mental procedures are in charge of our cognitive capabilities to store and generate new memories, recognize people, objects and produce language along with our capability to reason and problem solve. Cognitive neuropsychology places a certain emphasis on learning the cognitive outcomes of brain injury or neurological disease with a view to inferring models of typical cognitive functioning. Evidence is depending on case studies of individual mind damaged sufferers who show deficits in mind areas and from sufferers who show double dissociations. Double dissociations involve two tasks and two patients. One patient is impaired at a single task however normal on the other, while another patient is normal on the initial task and impaired on ...
Martin Chodorow is a cognitive psychologist and a computational linguist. His research in cognitive psychology focuses on two areas - proofreading and implicit memory. Everyone has had the experience that it is harder to find errors in their own writing than in the writing of others, and that, after a delay, their own errors seem to be easier to detect. Prof. Chodorow studies the ways in which familiarity, expectation, context, and. word frequency interact to make misspellings and other errors easier or harder to find during proofreading. His second area of research in cognitive psychology is implicit memory, memory without awareness. It is typically demonstrated by measuring repetition priming - the facilitation of processing that occurs when a stimulus is presented a second time. His work looks at interference effects in implicit memory that result when newly presented stimuli are similar to an implicitly remembered stimulus. Prof. Chodorows research in computational linguistics focuses on ...

When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote: Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks writes about the passions that have driven his life-from motorcycles and weight lifting to neurology and poetry. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists-W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick-who have influenced his work. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer, a man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.

Chocoholic - that was my nickname as a kid, and it was an appropriate one since chocolate was the only form of dessert I ate. I can attest to the fact that there is no sweet comfort food quite like chocolate. Seriously though, think of how often you have heard your friends or people in general state something along the lines of Im craving something sweet right now, and they end up eating chocolate, or how many times they express that they need a piece of chocolate! We frequently feel these cravings in everyday life and normally do not question them, but do you ever wonder whether there is another reason or force pushing you to crave food, especially sweets and if so, how do you get it to disappear? The answer can actually be you, as demonstrated in the Werthmann et al. study Attention Bias for Chocolate Increases Chocolate Consumption - An Attention Bias Modification Study.. In this experiment, the researchers wanted to discover whether attending to food increases your craving for it. ...
