Impaired decision-making on the basis of both reward and punishment information in individuals with psychopathyPersonality and Individual Differences 41. 2006.In this study, we examined decision-making to rewarding or punishing stimuli in individuals with psy- chopathy (n = 21) and comparison individuals (n = 19) using the Differential Reward/Punishment Learn- ing Task. In this task, the participant chooses between two objects associated with different levels of reward or punishment. Thus, response choice indexes not only reward/punishment sensitivity but also sensitivity to reward/punishment level according to inter-stimulus reinforcement distance. I…Read more

71Differentiating dissociation and repressionBehavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (5): 670-671. 2004.Now that consciousness is thoroughly out of the way, we can focus more precisely on the kinds of things that can happen underneath. A contrast can be made between dissociation and repression. Dissociation is where a memory record or set of autobiographical memory records cannot be retrieved; repression is where there is retrieval of a record but, because of the current task specification, the contents of the record, though entering into current processing, are not allowed into consciousness. I l…Read more

39Putting cognition into sociopathyBehavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (3): 548-548. 1995.We make three suggestions with regard to Mealey's work. First, her lack of a cognitive analysis of the sociopath results in underspecified mappings between sociobiology and behavior. Second, the developmental literature indicates that Mealey's implicit assumption, that moral socialisation is achieved through punishment, is invalid. Third, we advance the use of causal modelling to map the developmental relationships between biology, cognition, and behaviour

1286Headed records: A model for memory and its failuresCognition 20 (1): 1-23. 1985.It is proposed that our memory is made up of individual, unconnected Records, to each of which is attached a Heading. Retrieval of a Record can only be accomplished by addressing the attached Heading, the contents of which cannot itself be retrieved. Each Heading is made up of a mixture of content in more or less literal form and context, the latter including specification of environment and of internal states (e.g. drug states and mood). This view of memory allows an easy account of a number of…Read more

44Increased response time of primed associates following an “episodic” hypnotic amnesia suggestion: A case of unconscious volitionConsciousness and Cognition 22 (4): 1305-1317. 2013.Following a hypnotic amnesia suggestion, highly hypnotically suggestible subjects may experience amnesia for events. Is there a failure to retrieve the material concerned from autobiographical memory, or is it retrieved but blocked from consciousness? Highly hypnotically suggestible subjects produced free-associates to a list of concrete nouns. They were then given an amnesia suggestion for that episode followed by another free association list, which included 15 critical words that had been pre…Read more
