Dissociation and the Unconscious Mind: Nineteenth-Century Perspectives on Mediumship
Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 537–596, 2020 0892-3310/20 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Dissociation and the Unconscious Mind: Nineteenth-Century Perspectives on Mediumship C!"#$% S. A#&!"!'$ Parapsychology Foundation [email protected] Submitted December 18, 2019; Accepted March 21, 2020; Published September 15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.31275/20201735 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—There is a long history of discussions of mediumship as related to dissociation and the unconscious mind during the nineteenth century. A! er an overview of relevant ideas and observations from the mesmeric, hypnosis, and spiritualistic literatures, I focus on the writings of Jules Baillarger, Alfred Binet, Paul Blocq, Théodore Flournoy, Jules Héricourt, William James, Pierre Janet, Ambroise August Liébeault, Frederic W. H. Myers, Julian Ochorowicz, Charles Richet, Hippolyte Taine, Paul Tascher, and Edouard von Hartmann. While some of their ideas reduced mediumship solely to intra-psychic processes, others considered as well veridical phenomena. The speculations of these individuals, involving personation, and di" erent memory states, were part of a general interest in the unconscious mind, and in automatisms, hysteria, and hypnosis during the period in question. Similar ideas continued into the twentieth century. Keywords: mediumship; dissociation; secondary personalities; Frederic W. H. Myers; Théodore Flournoy; Pierre Janet INTRODUCTION Dissociation, a process involving the disconnection of a sense of identity, physical sensations, and memory from conscious experience, has been related to mediumship due to the latter’s sensory and motor automatism and changes of identity. In recent years there have been some conceptual discussions of dissociation and mediumship (e.g., Maraldi et al., 2019) as well as empirical studies exploring their 538 Carlos S. -

Chapter 4 – Wilhelm Wundt and the Founding Of
CHAPTER 11 – HISTORICAL USES AND ABUSES OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING Dr. Nancy Alvarado Motivation for Intelligence Testing In schools, the first intelligence tests were developed in France to enable public schools to measure children for proper grade placement. Rural schools were primarily one-room with all ages taught by a single teacher. Schools in cities were stratified by academic accomplishment (not age as is now done). Children moving to large cities needed to be placed. Other, concurrent efforts focused on measuring intelligence as an individual difference. Broca’s Craniometry Broca measured the body to understand its functions, including the head. He equated a larger head with greater intelligence and concluded that men were more intelligent than women because their heads were larger. He concluded that the sex difference was greater in contemporary people than in the past. His assumptions exemplified the biases of the times, against women, the elderly, primitive people – he believed differences in brain sizes supported them. Broca and Darwin Broca used ideas from Darwin’s evolutionary theory to support his thinking. “I would rather be a transformed ape than a degenerate son of Adam.” Broca believed that men struggle to survive whereas women are protected, so bigger brains are selected for in men but not women. Broca’s work was cited to justify denying education to women. Criticisms of Broca Stephen Jay Gould pointed out that brain weight decreases with age – the women studied were older than the men, introducing a confound. Taking cause of death into account, Gould concluded that there is probably no difference in brain weight between men and women. -

Background. Diagnostic evaluations of dementia are often performed in primary health care (PHC). Cognitive evaluation requires validated instruments. Objective. Toinvestigate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of Cognistat in a primary care population. Methods. Participants were recruited from 4 PHC centres; 52 had cognitive symptoms and 29 were presumed cognitively healthy. Participants were tested using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), and Cognistat. Clinical diagnoses, based on independent neuropsychological examination and a medical consensus discussion in secondary care, were used as criteria for diagnostic accuracy analyses. Results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 0.85, 0.79, 0.85, and 0.79, respectively, for Cognistat; 0.59, 0.91, 0.90, and 0.61 for MMSE; 0.26, 0.88, 0.75, and 0.46 for CDT; 0.70, 0.79, 0.82, and 0.65 for MMSE and CDT combined. -
History of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales: Content and Psychometrics
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition Assessment Service Bulletin Number 1 History of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales: Content and Psychometrics Kirk A. Becker The 2003 publication of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition represents the latest in a series of innovations in the assessment of intelligence and abilities. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this bulletin examines the similarities and differences between the different editions of the Stanford-Binet published over the past century. It discusses the development and integration of age-scale and point-scale formats for subtests, the theoretical structure of the test (single versus hierarchical, use of Nonverbal and Verbal domains, and links to the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory), and changes in item content related to this theoretical structure. The new edition provides greater differentiation in the measurement of abilities, the precursors of which were nevertheless present in earlier editions.

Intelligence: Foundations and Issues in Assessment
Canadian Psychology © 2009 Canadian Psychological Association 2009, Vol. 50, No. 3, 183–195 0708-5591/09/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0016641 Intelligence: Foundations and Issues in Assessment Linda Gottfredson Donald H. Saklofske University of Delaware University of Calgary There is no more central topic in psychology than intelligence and intelligence testing. With a history as long as psychology itself, intelligence is the most studied and likely the best understood construct in psychology, albeit still with many “unknowns.” The psychometric sophistication employed in creating intelligence tests is at the highest level. The authors provide an overview of the history, theory, and assessment of intelligence. Five questions are proposed and discussed that focus on key areas of confusion or misunderstanding associated with the measurement and assessment of intelligence. Keywords: intelligence, intelligence testing, intelligence tests To understand how we are like all others, some others, and no tory psychologists; now tests have become objects of the attention for others, to paraphrase Kluckhohn and Murray (1948), has led to the many workers whose primary interest is in education, social service, search for those key individual differences factors that can be medicine, industrial management and many other fields in which applied operationally defined and measured.
