  • Postscript-Future Directions
    Postscript-Future Directions To predict the future is a daunting task. At the time of publication of the previous edition of this book I certainly would not have predicted the developments in or the effects of outside forces such as managed care on the field. Perhaps instead of future directions, we should talk of necessary improvements. In general, I think the field will see a greater degree of psychometric sophistication among clinicians and researchers. The increased use of Item Response Theory and Generalizability Theory to evaluate the precision of measurement would be a positive development. Along those lines, the evaluation and conceptualization of validity as a diffractionable entity rather than a monolith will help us to better understand and use the assessment techniques at our disposal. The general conceptualization of a test as a method-construct unit will also aid our understanding. Among the forms of validity, ecological validity will see a much greater emphasis. As behavioral scientists, it is important that we concentrate on our specialty-behavior-and the relationship of behavior to the environment. The greater use of confirmatory factor analysis will also positively impact on assessment methods. Exploratory factor analysis still has a place, but the greater certainty of comparing different factor solutions will help resolve some standing questions. The most obvious direction for future research is to conduct studies that will help elucidate the relationships between traditional neuropsychological assessment results and behaviors in the open environment. This would require the development of methods to evaluate the degree of success in performing the behaviors. Relevant sources of informa­ tion include direct behavioral observation, self-report, and report by significant others.

    I SING THE BODY REPUBLIC: HOW BENJAMIN RUSH CREATED AMERICAN MEDICINE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah E. Naramore __________________________________ Christopher S. Hamlin, Director Graduate Program in the History and Philosophy of Science Notre Dame, Indiana June 2018 Ó Copyright 2018 Sarah E. Naramore ii I SING THE BODY REPUBLIC: HOW BENJAMIN RUSH CREATED AMERICAN MEDICINE Abstract by Sarah E. Naramore In this dissertation I argue that Philadelphia Physician Benjamin Rush (1746-1813) merged medical and political theory in an unprecedented matter to form a concept of biological citizenship for the United States in the years following independence from Great Britain. A graduate of the University of Edinburgh's medical school, Rush began his career in 1769 as one of the few elite colonial physicians who held an MD degree. By the time he died in 1813, however, Rush publicly rejected the medicine he had learned in Scotland. He claimed to have created a new system predicated on simple physiological concepts adjusted to meet the needs of the young republic. In doing so he created an American medicine which had implications far out stripping the comparatively narrow purview of twenty-first century medical practice. Historically Rush's legacy has been fragmented into the histories of medicine, psychiatry, American political history, social history, and the history of reform movements. This informs the question this dissertation seeks to answer: Rush is a perennially-cited iii Sarah E. Naramore player in the history of medicine and that of the early United States, why? He was not the only Scottish-educated American physician nor the only member of a medical faculty; yet, his work stands out in a way which that of his contemporaries does not.

Vida sem memória não é vida [...] Nossa memória é nossa coerência, nossa razão, nosso sentimento, até mesmo nossa ação. Sem ela, somos nada. Luis Buñuell RESUMO A memória episódica é um mecanismo ou processo que permite armazenar experiências e evocar eventos relacionados ao passado. Há evidências de que a memória episódica é afetada pela idade, no entanto poucos são os estudos sobre como este processo ocorre em relação a material ou informação visual. O objetivo desta pesquisa, de caráter exploratório, foi avaliar a memória episódica visual em diferentes faixas etárias, por meio do Teste de Retenção Visual de Benton (BVRT).

Karger AG, Basel Introduction Neuropsychology, a field at the crossroads between neurology and psychology, is rooted in Egyptian and Greek Antiquity (Imhotep and Eratistrate, respectively). By pondering intelligence, Descartes and Spinoza, the most famous philosophers of the 17th century, conceived a way of thinking about memory and emotion, the foundations of the concepts that contemporary neuroscience endeavors to explore with precision.

  • The Frontotemporal Syndrome in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis An
    The frontotemporal syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis An interim analysis for a new cognitive screening instrument The aim of this study is to provide an interim analysis, evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and the psychometric qualities of the ALS-FTD-Cog. The ALS-FTD-Cog is a screening instrument, designed to detect cognitive impairment associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This cognitive impairment (in combination with behavioural impairment) is known as the Frontotemporal Syndrome (FTS) and occurs in 30-50% of ALS patients. 70 ALS-patients, 35 healthy control participants and fourteen patients with frontotemporal dementia (positive control participants) participated in this study. The outcomes of the ALS-FTD-Cog were compared with a reference standard; a full neuropsychological investigation. In our sample, 14 ALS patients (21%) had FTS. The ALS-FTD-Cog identified these patients with 77% sensitivity and 80% specificity. The reliability varies from acceptable (.7) when calculated in all participants to very low (.2) when calculated in only the ALS patient group. When measured in all subjects, a principal component analysis shows that the ALS-FTD-Cog is a unidimensional measure. However, in only ALS patients the screening outcomes cluster together in a more ambiguous way, suggesting two subscales with low (.3 and .4) reliability. It is important to emphasize that this is an interim analysis, probably lacking the statistical power to draw clear conclusions about the diagnostic accuracy of the ALS-FTD-Cog. However, this study thoroughly analyses the current test outcomes, and identifies important areas for further research concerning the ALS-FTD-Cog. The main objective is not only enhancing the quality of care for FTS patients but also gain a more thorough understanding of the underlying processes in ALS.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Rage, Rancour and Revenge Existentialist Motives in International Relations Rupert Brodersen A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, August 2014 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 85,595 words. 2 Abstract Emotions are gaining an increasingly prominent role in the study of International Relations. As a relatively new frontier, there is still considerable work to be done in streamlining various efforts into a systematic study. These efforts have largely circled on describing the cognitive and action potential of specific emotions, such as anger, fear and trust. This thesis is concerned with an extreme emotion, the emotion of rage. I stress the action potential of revenge, as well as the cognitive elements at play here, most specifically the issue of abrupt changes to morality.
