Book Synopsis Attention and Orienting by : Peter J. Lang
Download or read book Attention and Orienting written by Peter J. Lang and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orienting is the gateway to attention, the first step in processing stimulus information. This volume examines these initial stages of information intake, focusing on the sensory and motivational mechanisms that determine such phenomena as stimulus selection and inhibition, habituation, pre-attentive processing, and expectancy. Psychophysiological methods are emphasized throughout. The contributors consider analyses based on cardiovascular and electrodermal changes, reflex reactions, and neural events in the cortex and subcortex. Stimulated by a conference lauding Frances Graham -- held before and during a recent meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research, the book presents current theory and research by an international cadre of outstanding investigators. A major researcher and theorist in the field of attention for more than three decades, Dr. Graham contributes an Afterword to the present volume which is both a consideration of the work which has gone before, and a new, original theory paper on preattentive processing and attention.
Download or read book Calatonia written by Anita Blanchard and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calatonia is a body-based, psychophysical approach created during WWII by Pethö Sándor, a Hungarian physician. He developed Calatonia whilst working as a doctor for the Red Cross, in various refugee camps. Calatonia arose out of necessity, and was probably the first somatic therapy developed from, and initially for, those suffering from war trauma.A pioneering spirit, he recognised the importance of fostering the organism's self-regulation within the therapeutic context, in order to achieve psychological balance and to facilitate the integration of traumatic experiences. His work is life affirming and encourages resilience building, structured around the global reorganisation and mutual regulation of soma and psyche - dictated neither by symptoms nor by the grip of trauma.Sándor settled in Brazil after the Second World War, where his gentle method has been used in psychotherapy, education, child development, health, personal growth, and stress prevention. There are many books, theses and dissertations written in Portuguese, and now, an ever-growing enthusiasm for it has been endorsed by recent studies in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience and neuroscience of touch, which have offered abundant evidence for future validation of the method. Calatonia uses Default Mode Network connectivity, integrates Mind Wandering, and explores the positive potential of the Orienting Reflex to reorganise mind-body. Chapters: First chapter, "Calatonia", was published in 1969 in the Boletim de Psicologia, in São Paulo, by Pethő Sándor, and is here reprinted (translated). Paulo Machado Filho's chapter gives a context for Sándor's method. Rosa Farah (1949-2016) briefly describes the teaching of the method within the professional course of psychology in São Paulo.Sandra Tavares presents her work with Subtle Touch and Calatonia within the Brazilian public healthcare system, both in individual and group therapy. Claudia Herbert addresses the healing of trauma and offers an exploration of the scientific rationale and specific considerations for the application of Calatonia and Subtle Touch in trauma treatment. Maria Irene Gonçalves finds a parallel between alchemical symbolism and psychodynamic processes in somatic psychotherapy with children.Céline Lorthiois explains Deep Pedagogy, a pedagogic method that integrates Calatonia and Subtle Touch approach to child development.Irene Gaeta presents an adult patient, who suffered early trauma, and how through the use of Calatonia followed by art-therapy, she was enabled to access, reorganise and integrate her preverbal memories. Leda Seixas expands on the use of Sándor's body-based techniques in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and discuss central tenets of Jung's psychology in Sándor's method. Anita Blanchard writes about the Jungian concept of psyche in psychotherapy and in the ethos of Sándor's work. Vivian Nassif and Maria Georgina Gonçalves describe the Calatonia of Sight, formulated for the treatment of individuals suffering from visual impairment, and now used as a tool in psychotherapy. Ana Maria Rios describes the case of a child with attachment issues stemming from trauma, abandonment and loss, who was successfully treated with Calatonia. Lúcia Helena Almeida presents the case of an uncommunicative teenager who was able to express herself through a series of drawings, created after receiving Calatonia and other somatic work in session. Marilena Armando examines some essential attributes of resilience, and the ways in which Calatonia contributes to the development of resilience and numinous experiences. Beatriz Henry and Luiz Lemos discuss how the use of Calatonia produces a distinctive field of transference in psychotherapy and enhances the probability of synchronous phenomena. Anita Blanchard presents a summary of the hypotheses about the neuroscientific underpinnings of Pethö Sándor's method.
Book Synopsis The Neuropsychology of Attention by : Ronald A. Cohen
Download or read book The Neuropsychology of Attention written by Ronald A. Cohen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been 15 years since the original publication of Neuropsychology of Attention. At the time of its publication, attention was a construct that had long been of theoretical interest in the field of psychology and was receiving increased research by cognitive scientists. Yet, attention was typically viewed as a nuisance variable; a factor that needed to be accounted for when assessing brain function, but of limited importance in its own right. There is a need for a new edition of this book within Neuropsychology to present an updated and integrated review of what is know about attention, the disorders that affect it, and approaches to its clinical assessment and treatment. Such a book will provide perspectives for experimental neuropsychological study of attention and also provide clinicians with insights on how to approach this neuropsychological domain.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the appearance of the treatise on "Schedules of Reinforcement" by Ferster and Skinner over two decades ago, the literature in behavior analysis, both experimental and applied, has been dominated by a range of studies dedi cated to providing ever more systematic and refined accounts of these "mainsprings of behavior control. " For the most part, the analysis has been pursued in the best traditions of "scientific methodology" with careful atten tion to the isolation of controlling variables in unitary form. Of late, relatively simple interaction effects have provided an important additional focus for more sophisticated analyses. It is clear, however, from even a cursory survey of the monumental research and conceptual analysis which is represented in this scholarly volume by Henton and Iversen that the surface ofthis complex "be havioral interactions" domain has barely been scratched. The primary focus of this pioneering effort extends the competing response analysis across all experimental schedules, both classical and instrumental, as well as the interactions between the two. Appropriately, the analysis empha sizes overt behavioral interactions, beginning with the simplest case of one operant and one respondent, and inevitably implicating more diverse and subtle interactions. As the analysis expands to include interactions between multiple recorded responses, increasingly more precise empirical specifications ofrecip rocal interactions in response probabilities are revealed independently of con ventional procedural labels (i. e. , operants, respondents, collaterals, adjunc tives, etc. ) and traditional theoretical distinctions.

Book Synopsis Making a Scientific Case for Conscious Agency and Free Will by : William R. Klemm
Download or read book Making a Scientific Case for Conscious Agency and Free Will written by William R. Klemm and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making a Scientific Case for Conscious Agency and Free Will makes a series of arguments that certain human behaviors are impossible to explain in the absence of free will, and that free will emerges from materialistic processes of brain function. It outlines future directions for neuroscience studies that can harness emerging technologies and tools for systems-level analysis. All humans have the sensation that they consciously will certain things to happen and that, in the absence of external constraints, they are free to choose from among alternatives. This notion of free will is deemed obvious by the average person based on common experience. Free will is frequently defended with arguments stemming from social, legal, philosophical, and religious perspectives. But these arguments appeal to consequences—not causes—of choices and decisions. In the past 3 decades, debate has raged within the scientific community over whether free will is in fact an illusion. Because free will would require conscious agency, the supporting corollary is that consciousness itself cannot do anything and is merely an observer rather than an actor. - Considers arguments for and against free will from religious, social, legal, and neuroscience perspectives - Provides thorough coverage of the manifold human behaviors that can be explained only by free will, from consciousness to creativity - Outlines future directions for further neuroscience research into the topic

Book Synopsis Attention, Arousal and the Orientation Reaction by : R. Lynn
Download or read book Attention, Arousal and the Orientation Reaction written by R. Lynn and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention, Arousal and the Orientation Reaction aims to present in a volume the works of Pavlov, an eminent Russian physiologist known for his contributions, specifically the classical conditioning. This book contains the interpretations and theories in physiological terms, and elaborates on the neurological models of significant interest. The “orientation reaction” is described, and the Sokolov's model, which is claimed to be the most comprehensive model for the orientation reaction, is then illustrated. This text also explains the phenomenon of habituation, wherein facts involved are summarized in a chapter. A discussion on the numerous neurological models of the habituation process is then given. This text notes that the models are divided into ""one-stage models"" and ""two-stage models."" Other topics presented are the effects of transforming a neutral stimulus into a conditioned stimulus; the orientation reaction in ontogenetic and phylogenetic development; and the orientation reaction in the measurement of individual differences. This book will be beneficial to those fascinated with the works of Pavlov, especially the psychology students and practitioners.
Book Synopsis Self-Organization, Computational Maps, and Motor Control by : P.G. Morasso
Download or read book Self-Organization, Computational Maps, and Motor Control written by P.G. Morasso and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-03-19 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the study of the computational structure of biological/robotic sensorimotor systems, distributed models have gained center stage in recent years, with a range of issues including self-organization, non-linear dynamics, field computing etc. This multidisciplinary research area is addressed here by a multidisciplinary team of contributors, who provide a balanced set of articulated presentations which include reviews, computational models, simulation studies, psychophysical, and neurophysiological experiments.The book is divided into three parts, each characterized by a slightly different focus: in part I, the major theme concerns computational maps which typically model cortical areas, according to a view of the sensorimotor cortex as "geometric engine" and the site of "internal models" of external spaces. Part II also addresses problems of self-organization and field computing, but in a simpler computational architecture which, although lacking a specialized cortical machinery, can still behave in a very adaptive and surprising way by exploiting the interaction with the real world. Finally part III is focused on the motor control issues related to the physical properties of muscular actuators and the dynamic interactions with the world.The reader will find different approaches on controversial issues, such as the role and nature of force fields, the need for internal representations, the nature of invariant commands, the vexing question about coordinate transformations, the distinction between hierachiacal and bi-directional modelling, and the influence of muscle stiffness.
