On building a clinical cognitive neuroscience.

No one can or has doubted that the brain "lights up" in the context of normal and abnormal experience and behavior. The anatomy of the brain ensures that its regions, circuits, distributed pathways, and cell assemblies have to provide the "electricity" ...

Researching the pathophysiology of pediatric bipolar disorder.

We suggest that the core feature of bipolar disorder (BPD) is marked state fluctuations. The pathophysiology of switches into depressed, irritable, and extreme positive valence states requires study, with the latter deserving particular focus because it ...

Evolutionary mismatch, neural reward circuits, and pathological gambling.

Evolutionary mismatch theory has been applied to disorders of self-regulation such as maladaptive eating patterns and drug abuse. Modern gambling represents a refinement of the elements of risk and chance, which draw upon the faculties of judgment and ...

The time course of selective visual attention: theory and experiments.

Historically, the psychophysical evidence for "selective attention" originated mainly from visual search experiments. A first important distinction in the processing of information in visual search tasks is its separation in two stages. The first, early ...

Survey of graduates of programs affiliated with the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN).

A survey addressing training experiences and current professional practices was sent to 219 persons who had completed a 2-year postdoctoral residency in clinical neuropsychology through a program that was affiliated with the Association of Postdoctoral ...

Neuroethics: an emerging new discipline in the study of brain and cognition.

The vision for the special issue in Brain and Cognition is rooted in the need to bring to the foreground the state of scientific knowledge in research and clinical neuroimaging ethics. To this end, the issue highlights a broad range of relatively ...

Interface of information technology and neuropsychology: ethical issues and recommendations.

Rapid advancements in information technology and telecommunications (ITT) offer exciting opportunities for neuropsychology. However, guidelines and recommendations for identifying and negotiating ethical challenges have not kept pace with the expansion ...

Limits and province of levels of processing: considerations of a construct.

The limitations and the proper domain of the levels-of-processing construct are considered. Following a sketch of the historical context in which the construct was proposed, some of its empirical and conceptual shortcomings are noted. The argument is ...

Organisation: what levels of processing are levels of.

The psychology of thought and memory has historically been concerned with a struggle between associationism and its opponents. Organisation theory--in part an offspring of Gestalt concepts--has been the most successful and vocal of these contenders. The ...

Processing approaches to cognition: the impetus from the levels-of-processing framework.

Processing approaches to cognition have a long history, from act psychology to the present, but perhaps their greatest boost was given by the success and dominance of the levels-of-processing framework. We review the history of processing approaches, and ...
