Rapid advances are being made in our understanding of the biological basis of the mind, and whole new areas of investigation are being opened up by technological innovation (for example, the Human Genome Project). These advances are destined to transform our understanding of psychology and promise to lead to many practical benefits, notably innovative therapeutic approaches in medicine and psychiatry. This is indeed an exciting time to be studying biological psychology; it is certainly an exciting time to be writing about it. As a result of this rapid scientific progress, however, biological psychology is becom- ing increasingly complex (there are between 20,000 and 30,000 scientific articles on the brain published each year). This complexity poses a challenge to the student, who is bombarded with an array of new concepts, processes, systems and experimental find- ings, many of which come with their own obscure nomenclature. Biological psychology can, indeed, seem daunting. In this book the presentation of material, while not disguising this complexity, focuses on the central themes running through the subject and how these themes relate to some of the major areas of interest to the psychologist. Biological processes are at the heart of our own experiences, as well as being at the heart of psychology: they form the foundations of every thought, feeling and action we have, and they are implicated in all experimental effects reported in psychology journals. For example, there can be no cognition or social behaviour without the mediation of the brain. In clinical neurology, all too easily it is seen that brain damage (resulting from tumour, stroke, etc.) robs patients of certain aspects of their minds (e.g., long-term memory), and certain pathological brain processes (e.g., senile dementia) rob patients of their sense of self and identity. The extent to which brain processes must be considered in psychological theories of normal behaviour is, of course, open to debate – at times, heated debate – and quite rightly so, as no one approach in psychology can claim supremacy. The main theme of this book concerns understanding biological psychology, by which is meant not the learning of long lists of facts and figures about brain structure and func- tion (although some learning in this respect is unavoidable), but rather the appreciation of the central role that biological processes play in psychology. Thus, the aim of this book is to cover the core aspects of the biological perspective in psychology from a conceptual UBPA01 22/6/06 10:57 AM Page viii viii Preface viewpoint, which, it is hoped, will give a better perspective over the whole psychological landscape. This book surveys not only what is currently known, but also what is know- able and will be known in the not too distant future (e.g., the molecular basis of major psychiatric disorders); this will involve acknowledging the lack of empirical findings and theoretical agreement, but also the recognition that innovative techniques are pushing forward the boundaries of our knowledge (e.g., gene sequencing techniques). This Janus- faced approach is core to the scientific perspective: looking back to the past and published research and looking to the future with all its prospects and problems. As noted by the Nobel Prize winning chemist, Harry Kroto (2002), the key to under- standing complex phenomena is the recognition of the importance of framing the research problem clearly in the first place: first, it is important to know what we do not really understand; and second, the crucial questions in need of answer must be clarified. Some mysteries in psychology (e.g., consciousness) consist not so much in our inability to provide appropriate tools of investigation but rather in our inability to frame the crucial research questions in a sufficiently precise manner. Confucius was way ahead of us in recognizing this problem: ‘I seek not the answer, but to understand the question.’ The book is divided into three main Parts: ‘Foundations’, ‘Approaches’ and ‘Applications’. Part I covers a number of fundamental aspects of biological psychology; Part II surveys the main methodologies used and, by way of illustration, describes the types of careers open to the biologically inspired psychologist; and Part III provides a presentation of a sample of some of the implications of biological psychology in psychopathology, personality and cognition. This book is primarily aimed at undergraduate psychology students, but is also appropriate for postgraduate students without a formal background in psychology or biological aspects of psychology – some of the chapters, especially those in Part II (‘Approaches’) will be useful to psychology postgraduate students, and the chapters in Part III (‘Applications’) to clinical and health psychology students. Understanding Psychology What is meant by understanding? This involves more than merely learning theories and findings and being able to recall these in sufficient detail to pass assessment tests. Under- standing is to know the reasons for the adoption of a research approach and to appreciate the intellectual excitement and the human passions that go to make up a scientific discipline. The learning of specific theories and findings is, needless to say, important, but appreciating why these theories and findings are considered important is a necessary precondition to understanding their true significance. As noted by the famous neuropsychologist Donald Hebb (1949, p. xi), ‘the task of the psychologist, the task of understanding behavior and reducing the vagaries of human thought to a mechanical process of cause and effect, is a more difficult one than of any other scientist’. In addition to the sheer complexity of psychological phenomena, under- standing psychology is more difficult than understanding other disciplines (e.g., physics or chemistry) for a number of reasons. First, its object of study is familiar to us all: we all have first-hand experience of what it is like to have a human mind and we have UBPA01 22/6/06 10:57 AM Page ix Preface ix common-sense ideas about our own and others’ behaviour, motives, intentions, etc. These naive ideas often stand in the way of our appreciating and accepting scientific findings. Second, psychology is a fragmented discipline. This fragmentation can lead to fragmented understanding. As any student quickly learns, undergraduate degree programmes in psychology typically comprise a number of separate courses (Cognition, Social Psycho- logy, Biological Psychology, Individual Differences, Clinical Psychology, Occupational Psychology, etc.).

    A ARGUIÇÃO DE DESCUMPRIMENTO DE PRECEITO FUNDAMENTAL 187 Raphael de Andrade Naves1 RESUMO O Plenário do Supremo Tribunal Federal, ao julgar procedente, por unanimidade, a Argüição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental nº 187, reputou legítimas as manifestações de pensamento que têm por objetivo questionar a política de combate às drogas ora vigente, em oposição à grave insegurança jurídica causada, à época, por posicionamentos que obstavam a veiculação de opiniões com tal conteúdo, caracterizando-as como crime de apologia, previsto no artigo 287 do Código Penal. Busca-se, com o presente trabalho, analisar os termos do voto de lavra do Ministro Celso de Mello, relator da ADPF, o qual discorreu brilhantemente sobre os contornos das liberdades fundamentais de reunião e manifestação do pensamento e do papel que o Estado deve desempenhar, não só respeitando, como fomentando o debate de ideias. A natureza contramajoritária da jurisdição da Suprema Corte também é destacada no trabalho, visto que objeto de análise pelo Ministro Celso de Mello, para o qual o Excelso Pretório deve atuar não só como guardião da Constituição, mas também como protetor das minorias e de seu sacro direito de expor ideias e pensamentos. Além de ressaltar e analisar os principais tópicos do voto mencionado, o presente trabalho procura descrever a matéria fática que embasou a ADPF, colacionando, ainda, o histórico brasileiro de desrespeito às mencionadas liberdades, cujo prestígio é de extrema importância para a solidificação do processo democrático na sociedade contemporânea. Palavras-chave: Liberdades. Manifestação do pensamento. Reunião. Democracia. Estado. 1 Mestrando em Direito pelo Centro Universitário Salesiano de São Paulo - UNISAL.

  • Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination" As a Screening Test for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Hearing Impaired Individuals
    Development and Validation of the “Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination” as a Screening Test for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Hearing Impaired Individuals Courtney North D.Clin.Psy. thesis (Volume 1), 2020 University College London 1 UCL Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Thesis declaration form I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Name: Courtney North Date: 19th June 2020 2 Overview This thesis examined the utility of different neuropsychological tests in the detection of cognitive impairment in older adult populations. Limitations, directions for research and clinical implications have been highlighted. Part One: Meta-Analysis - The literature review sought to identify, for the first time, the cognitive tests that best discriminate between Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) and typical Alzheimer’s Disease (tAD), as well as PCA and healthy controls (HC). The most discriminating cognitive tests for PCA and tAD presentations were found to be measures of perception and verbal memory. Part Two: Empirical Paper - The objectives were to develop a hearing-impaired version of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (HI-ACE-III) and assess whether it can be used as a screening tool for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), as well as accurately distinguish cognitively impaired people from healthy controls. It was found to be a sensitive and specific screening tool, with a good ability to diagnose individuals with and without MCI in hearing-impaired populations. This was a joint project with Nattawan Utoomprurkporn, PhD student and qualified audiologist, and Mary Heatley, Trainee Clinical Psychologist Part Three: Critical Appraisal - The critical appraisal, considers the challenges of the project, including the barriers to recruitment, the navigation of the scientist- practitioner role and the impact of conducting research during a pandemic.

Agradeço a minhas amigas e meus amigos, e em especial minha companheira, por serem pilares da construção de meu saber e do meu caráter. Agradeço também à meus companheiros e minhas companheiras de lutas, que não deixam nossos ideais morrerem - principalmente dentro de nossos corações. Agradeço a Universidade como um todo e aos movimentos e projetos que participei em especial por terem sido ferramentas através das quais eu renovei, e continuo a renovar, meu conhecimento. 4 2013 RESUMO A monografia tem como objetivo analisar as decisões de Tribunais de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Distrito Federal; e do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) relativa a organizações da Marcha da Maconha, tendo como objeto um contraste entre as proibições ao evento em âmbito estadual e a decisão do STF que permitiu a realização das Marchas a partir de 2011, quando a matéria tramitou e recebeu a autorização dos ministros por meio de Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF 187). Através da análise de discurso baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica de assuntos relacionados para a formulação do referencial teórico associado à hermenêutica da profundidade (THOMPSON, 2002), utiliza-se do escopo do direito à comunicação, da liberdade de expressão e do direito de reunião para comprar diferenças e semelhanças entre as decisões judiciais.

It is not fully understood, whether PD-MCI and PDD are consecutive events and evolve into each other or whether they display two different entities. The high conversion rate from PD-MCI to PDD points to a progressive pattern, while different cognitive profiles seems to be related with higher conversion risk to PDD.

Linha de pesquisa n. 05: Linguagem e Direito. Orientadora: Profª. Dra. Virgínia Colares Soares Figueiredo Alves RECIFE 2017 RESUMO Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar, ao longo da historicidade das práticas interpretativas, critérios de avaliação para análise de uma decisão jurídica, utilizando como critério de aplicação da construção elaborada a ADPF 187 (marcha da maconha). A pergunta de partida foi: o que torna possível realizar afirmações relevantes sobre o Direito? Observou-se como hipótese da dissertação, se a decisão judicial apresenta transgressões de validade possibilitadoras de uma discricionariedade interpretativa, então ela pode revelar uma maior propensão de ser ativista. Para responder a pergunta de partida, o estudo valeu-se da seguinte metodologia: a partir do contributo do giro hermenêutico na abordagem da análise da decisão da ADPF 187, o que faz ser uma decisão jurídica ativista; a partir do método fenomenológico Heideggeriano, desenvolvendo-se uma abordagem em três passos, sendo: 1) a redução fenomenológica, que promove o deslocamento da perspectiva do ente em direção ao ser; 2) a desconstrução dos conceitos tradicionais, que promove encobrimentos nos fenômenos; 3) e a construção, que se mostra como uma apropriação do que ficou esquecido, em que se sequencia o acesso ao ser e a definição dos seus modos de ser a partir do ente.
