    Psychologica Belgica 2009, 49-2&3, 73-84. THE DECLINING INFLUENCE OF COGNITIVE THEORISING: ARE THE CAUSES INTELLECTUAL OR SOCIO-POLITICAL? Tim SHALLICE SISSA, Trieste, Italy & University College London, UK A rough division is drawn between the cognitive and biomedical strand of theorising concerning cognitive processes. It is asserted that the cognitive strand is losing influence by comparison with the biomedical strand. Three types of intellectual reasons why this might be occurring are considered and each is rejected as inadequate. Three types of socio-political reasons are then proposed as important factors. Introduction Consider phonological awareness and its relation to learning to read (Liberman, Shankweiler, Fischer, & Carter, 1974; Morais, Cary, Alegria, & Bertelson, 1979), and how later theorists have assessed the significance of this discovery. “The discovery of a strong relationship between children’s phonological awareness and their progress in learning to read is one of the great successes of modern psychology” (Bryant & Goswami, 1987). “The importance of the concept of phonological awareness in theorising about reading acquisition and dyslexia can hardly be overestimated” (Castles & Coltheart, 2004). Where, though, can we place a concept like phonological awareness in the set of ideas and methods that constitute the scientific study of the mind? How important will it turn out to be in our future understand- ing of mind? This paper will not be concerned with phonological awareness per se but with the cognitive type of theorising of which it is such a fine example. I will argue that there are two major strands – the cognitive and the biomedical – in the historical development of the set of ideas and methods that constitute the scientific study of the mind.

However, the critical frontal regions and specific cognitive deficits involved are unclear. Studies in amnesic patients have associated confabulation with damage to the orbital and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. However neuroimaging studies have associated memory control processes which are assumed to underlie confabulation with the right lateral prefrontal cortex. We used a confabulation battery to investigate the occurrence and localisation of confabulation in an unselected series of 38 patients with focal frontal lesions. 12 patients with posterior lesions and 50 healthy controls were included for comparison. Significantly higher levels of confabulation were found in the Frontal group, confirming previous reports.

  • Double Dissociation: Understanding Its Role in Cognitive Neuropsychology MARTIN DAVIES
    Double Dissociation: Understanding its Role in Cognitive Neuropsychology MARTIN DAVIES Abstract: The paper makes three points about the role of double dissociation in cognitive neuropsychology. First, arguments from double dissociation to separate mod- ules work by inference to the best, not the only possible, explanation. Second, in the development of computational cognitive neuropsychology, the contribution of connec- tionist cognitive science has been to broaden the range of potential explanations of double dissociation. As a result, the competition between explanations, and the characteristic features of the assessment of theories against the criteria of probability and explanatory value, are more visible. Third, cognitive neuropsychology is a division of cognitive psychology but the practice of cognitive neuropsychology proceeds on assumptions that go beyond the subject matter of cognitive psychology. Given such assumptions, neuro- scientific findings about lesion location may enhance the value of double dissociation in shifting the balance of support between cognitive theories. Cognitive neuropsychology uses patterns of impairment and sparing in patients following brain injury in order to constrain theories of normal cognitive structures and processes. It emerged as a distinctive research programme in the 1960s and by the end of the 1980s had its own journal (volume 1, 1984) and its own textbook (Ellis and Young, 1988/1996). In the practice of cognitive neuropsychology, the evidential value of double dissociation as support for claims about separate modules in the normal cognitive system has been highlighted. This highlighting is sometimes interpreted as the manifestation of a methodolog- ical assumption about a special logic of cognitive neuropsychology. For example, Karalyn Patterson and David Plaut say that ‘the gold standard was always a double dis- sociation’ (2009, p.

  • Escalade Recovery Foundation
    ESCALADE RECOVERY FOUNDATION Retreat – October 2019 1 The brain is a terrible master but a wonderful servant The experience of addiction is that of the co-opting of the brain such that the organizing principle of one’s life becomes feeding the addiction. This manifests as powerlessness. We find ourselves conducting our lives in contradiction to our principles, morals and deepest desires. It is said, the alcoholic/addict will trade what he really wants for what he wants right now. In the group of high achieving alcoholic/addicts we can invoke the definition of a bottom as: being unable to lower our standards fast enough to keep up with our behavior Regaining control of our lives requires regaining control of our brains. Making the brain our servant. It is an ongoing process. Our culture is designed to direct our brain to purchase, consume and act upon outside influences that may be subtle and not really serving the greater good. In active addiction we are also compelled to act upon internally generated impulses, from our primitive brain and limbic system areas, whose overwhelming drive is to feed the addiction. The ability to focus our brain, in order to carry out the task at hand, and to maintain that focus through completion of the task is called executive function. It is not innate, although the potential to develop it is. Early life experiences, trauma and chemicals we imbibe during critical stages of our development impact its development. We will talk about this at length. The following pages include comprehensive treatments of executive function and our fear response.
