15The Utility of KnowledgeErkenntnis 77 (2): 155-165. 2012.Recent epistemology has introduced a new criterion of adequacy for analyses of knowledge: such an analysis, to be adequate, must be compatible with the common view that knowledge is better than true belief. One account which is widely thought to fail this test is reliabilism, according to which, roughly, knowledge is true belief formed by reliable process. Reliabilism fails, so the argument goes, because of the "swamping problem". In brief, provided a belief is true, we do not care whether or no…Read more

13Construct Validity of the Sensory Profile Interoception Scale: Measuring Sensory Processing in Everyday LifeFrontiers in Psychology 13. 2022.Scholars and providers are coming to realize that one’s ability to notice and respond to internal body sensations contributes to an overall sense of wellbeing. Research has demonstrated a relationship between interoceptive awareness and anxiety, for example. Currently, however, tools for evaluating one’s interoception lack the conceptual foundation and clarity necessary to identify everyday behaviors that specifically reflect interoceptive awareness. Unlike existing interoceptive measures, the S…Read more

12Beyond TruthProceedings of the International Association for Business and Society 16 3-7. 2005.This paper explores a possibility of using discourse and text analysis to assess the business ethics of specific documents from within the tobacco industry. I argue that automated text analysis can provide important insights into the ethical discursive stance of not only a single textual communication, but also the company of origin and perhaps the industry at large.

9Think again: the role of reappraisal in reducing negative valence biasCognition and Emotion 37 (2): 238-253. 2023.Stimuli such as surprised faces are ambiguous in that they are associated with both positive and negative outcomes. Interestingly, people differ reliably in whether they evaluate these and other ambiguous stimuli as positive or negative, and we have argued that a positive evaluation relies in part on a biasing of the appraisal processes via reappraisal. To further test this idea, we conducted two studies to evaluate whether increasing the cognitive accessibility of reappraisal through a brief em…Read more

Does it clarify the faith or undermine the very heart of Christian belief?Brown writes, "This book is about the changes in preconceptions, world views and paradigms that have affected…Read more

6The other side of the coin: Semantic dementia as a lesion model for understanding recollection and familiarityBehavioral and Brain Sciences 42. 2019.The syndrome of semantic dementia represents the “other side of the coin” to Alzheimer's disease, offering convergent evidence to help refine Bastin et al.’s integrative memory model. By considering the integrative memory model through the lens of semantic dementia, we propose a number of important extensions to the framework, to help clarify the complex neurocognitive mechanisms underlying recollection and familiarity.

5For more than a century, conservation easements have been used in the United States to maintain open space or protect the environment. Such easements produce a public good. They increase the amount of protected landscapes by preserving property encumbered by easements from private development or consumption while simultaneously allowing grantors the flexibility to negotiate the retention of development rights tailored to meet the grantors' needs. My thesis is that private parties should have a c…Read more

1Mammalian teeth and bone contain a record of an animal’s health and environment over daily, weekly, and yearly time scales. These tissues have long been used to assess the health and environmental conditions particular to individuals, but they may also preserve characteristics of entire populations, in this case relative population size and behavior. In this dissertation, we draw new inferences from skeletal and dental characters to demonstrate that they preserve 1) unique signals of predatory b…Read more
