A Meta-Analytic Tale of Two Hemispheres. (May 2003) Rachel Gayle Hull, B.S., Texas A&M University; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Jyotsna Vaid The present investigation evaluates the effects of multiple language acquisition history on brain functional organization for language. To address a range of findings concerning the functional cerebral lateralization of the native (L1) and second languages (L2) of bilinguals, a meta-analysis was conducted on 71 studies that used behavioral paradigms to assess bilingual laterality. The predictive value of a number of theoretically identified moderators of cerebral asymmetry for language was assessed, namely, the age of second language (L2) acquisition, fluency in theL2, participant sex, experimental paradigm, linguistic task demands, relatedness of L1 and L2 structures, and context of language use.

Selective processing of threatening facial expressions: The eyes have it! Elaine Fox Previous work suggests that threatening facial expressions are detected more efficiently than happy facial expressions in a visual search task. It is not clear, however, which component of the face indicates threat. Is it a conjunction of features that might indicate threat (e.g., a frown in conjunction with a downward turned mouth), or could the eye or mouth region alone indicate threat efficiently? The present study tested which features of the face produced a threat-superiority effect and whether the level of self-reported trait-anxiety further enhanced this effect. Participants were divided into high and low-anxious groups on the basis of their scores on standardized measures of trait (and state) anxiety. Across several experiments, it was found that the eye-region did produce a threat-superiority effect with upright faces but not with inverted faces, while the mouth region did not. However, high levels of trait-anxiety failed to influence the magnitude of this threat-superiority effect.

A problem with memory occurs in two ways that directly affect pastoral issues: when we reconstruct our history as a community of faith in a way that romanticizes the past and anathematizes the present (nostalgia) or when we reconstruct the past eliminating crucial information we would rather ignore (amnesia), particular for ministry to and with the young and immigrants. Drawing on J. B. Metz’s approach to Christian memory, ministers can engage the dangerous memory in a way that coincides with the needs of young people and our nation’s newest residents. church of tradition is by definition a church of memory. Yet memory is a A precarious thing. As Christians, we remember what the God of Jesus Christ has done for us, and this powerfully impacts how we worship and minister to one another.

  • Unspringing the Witness Memory and Demeanor Trap: What Every Judge and Juror Needs to Know About Cognitive Psychology and Witness Credibility
    Unspringing The Witness Memory and Demeanor Trap: What Every Judge And Juror Needs to Know About Cognitive Psychology And Witness Credibility By: Mark W. Bennett Unspringing The Witness Memory and Demeanor Trap: What Every Judge And Juror Needs to Know About Cognitive Psychology And Witness Credibility 1 Mark W. Bennett The soul of America’s civil and criminal justice systems is the ability of jurors and judges to accurately determine the facts of a dispute. This invariably implicates the credibility of witnesses. In making credibility determinations, jurors and judges necessarily decide the accuracy of witnesses’ memories and the effect of the witnesses’ demeanor on their credibility. Almost all jurisdictions’ pattern jury instructions about witness credibility explain nothing about how a witness’s memories for events and conversations work—and how startlingly fallible memories actually are. They simply instruct the jurors to consider the witness’s “memory”—with no additional guidance. Similarly, the same pattern jury instructions on demeanor seldom do more than ask jurors to speculate about a witness’s demeanor by instructing them to merely observe “the manner of the witness” while testifying. Yet, thousands of cognitive psychological studies have provided major insights into witness memory and demeanor. The resulting cognitive psychological principles that are now widely accepted as the gold standard about witness memory and demeanor are often contrary to what jurors intuitively, but wrongly, believe. Most jurors believe that memory works like a video camera that can perfectly recall the details of past events. Rather, memory is more like a Wikipedia page where you can go in and change it, but so can others.

  • The Reality of Repressed Memories
    American Psychologist © 1993 by the American Psychological Association May 1993 Vol. 48, No. 5, 518-537 For personal use only--not for distribution. The Reality of Repressed Memories Elizabeth F. Loftus Department of Psychology University of Washington ABSTRACT Repression is one of the most haunting concepts in psychology. Something shocking happens, and the mind pushes it into some inaccessible corner of the unconscious. Later, the memory may emerge into consciousness. Repression is one of the foundation stones on which the structure of psychoanalysis rests. Recently there has been a rise in reported memories of childhood sexual abuse that were allegedly repressed for many years. With recent changes in legislation, people with recently unearthed memories are suing alleged perpetrators for events that happened 20, 30, even 40 or more years earlier. These new developments give rise to a number of questions: (a) How common is it for memories of child abuse to be repressed? (b) How are jurors and judges likely to react to these repressed memory claims? (c) When the memories surface, what are they like? and (d) How authentic are the memories? This article is an expanded version of an invited address, the Psi Chi/Frederick Howell Lewis Distinguished Lecture, presented at the 100th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, Washington DC, August 1992. I thank Geoffrey Loftus, Ilene Bernstein, Lucy Berliner, Robert Koscielny, and Richard Ofshe for very helpful comments on earlier drafts. I thank many others, especially Ellen Bass, Mark Demos, Judie Alpert, Marsha Linehan, and Denise Park for illuminating discussion of the issues. My gratitude for the vast efforts of the members of the Repressed Memory Research Group at the University of Washington is beyond measure.

  • Reform of Statistical Inference in Psychology: the Case Of<Emphasis
    Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers 2004, 36 (2), 312-324 ARTICLES Reform of statistical inference in psychology: The case of Memory & Cognition SUE FINCH University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and GEOFF CUMMING, JENNIFER WILLIAMS, LEE PALMER, ELVIRA GRIFFITH, CHRIS ALDERS, JAMES ANDERSON, and OLIVIA GOODMAN La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Geoffrey Loftus, Editor of Memory & Cognition from 1994 to 1997, strongly encouraged presenta- tion of figures with error bars and avoidance of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). The au- thors examined 696 Memory & Cognition articles published before, during, and after the Loftus edi- torship. Use of figures with bars increased to 47% under Loftus’s editorship and then declined. Bars were rarely used for interpretation, and NHST remained almost universal. Analysis of 309 articles in other psychology journals confirmed that Loftus’s influence was most evident in the articles he ac- cepted for publication, but was otherwise limited. An e-mail survey of authors of papers accepted by Loftus revealed some support for his policy, but allegiance to traditional practices as well. Reform of psychologists’ statistical practices would require more than editorial encouragement. Critics have long argued that null hypothesis signifi- the use of alternatives to NHST.

  • Consciousness, Accessibility, and the Mesh Between Psychology
    Forthcoming in Behavioral and Brain Sciences Consciousness, Accessibility, and the Mesh between Psychology and Neuroscience Ned Block New York University Abstract How can we disentangle the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness from the neural machinery of the cognitive access that underlies reports of phenomenal consciousness? We can see the problem in stark form if we ask how we could tell whether representations inside a Fodorian module are phenomenally conscious. The methodology would seem straightforward: find the neural natural kinds that are the basis of phenomenal consciousness in clear cases when subjects are completely confident and we have no reason to doubt their authority, and look to see whether those neural natural kinds exist within Fodorian modules. But a puzzle arises: do we include the machinery underlying reportability within the neural natural kinds of the clear cases? If the answer is ‘Yes’, then there can be no phenomenally conscious representations in Fodorian modules. But how can we know if the answer is ‘Yes’? The suggested methodology requires an answer to the question it was supposed to answer! The paper argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility. I argue that we can find a neural realizer of this overflow if assume that the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness does not include the neural basis of cognitive accessibility and that this assumption is justified (other things being equal) by the explanations it allows. Introduction In The Modularity of Mind, Jerry Fodor argued that significant early portions of our perceptual systems are modular in a number of respects, including that we do not have cognitive access to their internal states and representations of a sort that would allow reportability (Fodor, 1983; see also Pylylshyn, 2003; Sperber, 2001).
