belief formation program

The Belief Formation Program aims to advance understanding of the normal processes of higher-order cognition, with a specific focus on belief formation and revision. To meet this aim, we use a range of methodologies (e.g., cognitive neuropsychiatry, hypnosis, experimental psychology) with a range of normal and clinical populations, and we encourage cross-disciplinary perspectives that bring together cognitive scientists, philosophers and psychiatrists. We acknowledge the contribution of our many collaborators to this work.

In Formation Program have been developing and applying particular, we use hypnotic suggestions to model a cognitive-neuropsychiatric approach to study the the breakdowns of normal higher-order cognition normal cognitive system for belief formation. Our work that manifest as delusions and hallucinations. Clinical with delusional patients has demonstrated that the patients with these breakdowns are difficult to study processes that initially generate the contents of a belief experimentally because the symptoms of interest cannot interact with, but differ from, the processes that revise be produced on demand and often co-occur with other or change beliefs. Our two-factor theory of delusional cognitive impairments. We can address this challenge by belief proposes that two distinct questions must be using hypnotic suggestions with healthy participants to answered to explain the presence of a particular model delusions and hallucinations in the laboratory. We delusional belief. First (factor one): What caused the modelled different factor-one processes in mirrored-self implausible content to arise in the first place? Second misidentification delusion. We first developed a hypnotic (factor two): Why does the patient persist in believing suggestion designed to model a face processing that the content is true even when the patient’s impairment, where we told subjects that they would be family, friends and clinicians insist that it is false and unable to recognise faces. We compared this with a offer contradictory evidence? This year we have been suggestion designed to model a disconnection between contrasting this account with alternative one-factor face recognition and emotional response. We then told accounts of delusional belief. We have extended our subjects that they would see a person in the mirror previous work to consider the range of misidentification who looked just like them but would not feel like them. delusions that can arise, such as the delusional belief Both suggestions led to the belief that the person in that objects have been replaced by replicas.

So, this year we have conducted self recognition and raise the possibility of different novel empirical investigations to extend our two-factor ‘factor one’-pathways to the generation of the content theory to explain delusions that are characteristic of of mirrored-self misidentification delusions.

memory program

The Memory Program investigates the cognitive systems and brain structures underlying various forms of memory, including autobiographical memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, as well as imagination of future events. To understand these memory processes, the program uses experimental neuropsychological methods, structural and functional brain imaging, and post-mortem investigations from healthy individuals and from patients with progressive brain pathologies such as dementia or patients with static brain lesions due to congenital or acquired brain abnormality, or following brain surgery.

The Person Perception Program investigates how we extract, process and use information about other people. These abilities are critical to guiding everyday social interactions. Subtle cues to identity, gender, ethnicity, age, attractiveness, emotional state and focus of attention are effortlessly read from the face, body and voice. Our focus is on understanding the perceptual, cognitive, neural and evolutionary mechanisms underlying this impressive expertise, and how these mechanisms emerge through development. We also study how these mechanisms might develop and function differently in people with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Our investigations of neural implementation indicate opponent coding of these dimensions. In this form of coding, each dimension is represented by activation in two pools of neurons, tuned to low and high dimension values, respectively. Equal activation in the two pools signals a neutral point, or norm, and the coding is “norm-based” because the channels are tuned to deviations from this point. A long-standing question is whether adaptation plays any functional role in perception.

ARC centre of excellence in cognition and its disorders 27 h The Reading Program uses theoretical models of reading as the basis for investigating how children research learn to read, why some children have so much difficulty (developmental dyslexia), and how such difficulties may best be treated. These models are applied to the understanding of, and can inform development of treatment options for, different kinds of reading disorders that are seen in formerly skilled readers after brain damage (acquired dyslexia). The neural basis of both normal and impaired reading reading program can be investigated using brain-imaging techniques such as event related potentials.

The conflict arises because experiments using developing interventions targeting these abilities with Stroop-like tasks (where subjects have to name a colour, respect to reading difficulties. say red, while ignoring a different word, say blue or sky) seem to show that we don’t need to attend to letter strings to process them, even as far as accessing Reading and spelling training studies semantic information.

This is a complex skill, requiring integration of information research from multiple sources, including face, voice and gait. Connaughton, Langdon and Coltheart have developed a battery of tasks to study unconscious processing of person identity from both face and voice cues. Our tasks assess unconscious processing of familiarity via changes in skin conductance and pupil size. This year, we have been combining these tasks with tests of cross program conscious person identification to study patients with Capgras delusion and other misidentification delusions.

Children with temporal lobe epilepsy are at risk for deficits in episodic memory and reading. Semantic memory deficits and double dissociations between episodic and semantic memory have recently been found in this population. Also, semantic (but not episodic) memory is an integral part of cognitive models of reading and impairments are associated with a loss of reading skills (surface dyslexia) in adults with temporal lobe pathology. In a series of studies, we investigated whether the memory systems for episodic and semantic memory relate differently to reading in children with temporal lobe epilepsy whose brain connectivity and cognitive skills are still developing. We found evidence for a different relationship between semantic memory and reading, versus episodic memory and reading, in children with temporal lobe epilepsy. Our findings are important for understanding memory in children with and without temporal lobe epilepsy because semantic memory is associated with reading, and temporal lobe surgery carries a risk of a mild drop in semantic memory and thus reading. Finally, we have identified an urgent need for studies examining efficacy of treatments for reading deficits in children with temporal lobe epilepsy. Overall, these studies furthered collaborations between the Memory, Language and Reading Programs.

Both clinicians and scientists have observed that children with language problems tend to also have problems in motor control. For example, one recent study has reported that the writing by children with dyslexia tends to be less rhythmic than that of typically developing children. Moreover, children’s brains need to be able to deal with irregular timing functions in order to acquire language normally. These observations indicate that basic temporal control issues may be manifested across different cognitive and motor domains. This project is examining the hypothesis that both the motor and cognitive problems of some children Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation stem from deficiencies in the ability to cope with irregularities in the timing of the flow of information in neuron and lower motor neuron dysfunction in the limbs the brain.

How frontotemporal and to extend these methods to investigating dementia patients recognise faces in vivo and whether linguistic processing in adult bilinguals. Research using deficits in face analysis contribute to these difficulties electrophysiological measures (electroencephalography, remains unknown. This project will use MEG to or EEG) has found that there is a reliable neurological examine the unfolding of face and emotion processing response around 600 milliseconds (i.e., the P600 in frontotemporal dementia, and to determine the component) for instances of human sentence processing mechanisms contributing to emotion recognition in which ambiguous, ungrammatical, or complex impairment in this disorder. sentences require syntactic revision or repair. However, identifying a similar response using MEG has received little attention in the literature, even though MEG provides comparable temporal resolution and superior spatial resolution to EEG methods. Our preliminary results with monolingual adults suggest that MEG methods are able to capture the brain’s response to anomalies in the syntax. A central issue in adult bilingualism research is whether a second language can be acquired in a native-like fashion, in both knowledge and use. Research in bilingualism has shown that while bilinguals can perform similarly to monolinguals in offline tasks, they may have deficits in online language use in the non-native language. Using the MEG methods mentioned above, this project will provide insight into adult bilinguals’ sensitivity to grammatical violations in a non-native language, and whether the neurological response involves the same brain regions and follows the same temporal path as that of monolinguals.
