Précis onThe Cognitive-Emotional BrainBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 38 - 2015
Luiz Pessoa
AbstractInThe Cognitive-Emotional Brain(Pessoa 2013), I describe the many ways that emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain. The book summarizes five areas of research that support this integrative view and makes four arguments to organize each area. (1) Based on rodent and human data, I propose that the amygdala's ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cognitive systems for revenge and forgivenessBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2013
Michael E. McCullough, Robert Kurzban, Benjamin A. Tabak
AbstractMinimizing the costs that others impose upon oneself and upon those in whom one has a fitness stake, such as kin and allies, is a key adaptive problem for many organisms. Our ancestors regularly faced such adaptive problems (including homicide, bodily harm, theft, mate poaching, cuckoldry, reputational damage, sexual aggression, and the infliction of these ...... hiện toàn bộ
Précis of The illusion of conscious willBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 649-659 - 2004
Daniel M. Wegner
The experience of conscious will is the feeling that we are doing things. This feeling occurs for many things we do, conveying to us again and again the sense that we consciously cause our actions. But the feeling may not be a true reading of what is happening in our minds, brains, and bodies as our actions are produced. The feeling of conscious will can be fooled. This happens in clinical...... hiện toàn bộ
Parasite-stress promotes in-group assortative sociality: The cases of strong family ties and heightened religiosityBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 61-79 - 2012
Corey L. Fincher, Randy Thornhill
AbstractThroughout the world people differ in the magnitude with which they value strong family ties or heightened religiosity. We propose that this cross-cultural variation is a result of a contingent psychological adaptation that facilitates in-group assortative sociality in the face of high levels of parasite-stress while devaluing in-group assortative sociality...... hiện toàn bộ

Joseph Henrich, Steven J. Heine, Ara Norenzayan
AbstractBehavioral scientists routinely publish broad claims about human psychology and behavior in the world's top journals based on samples drawn entirely from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. Researchers – often implicitly – assume that either there is little variation across human populations, or that these “standard su...... hiện toàn bộ
Homeostasis and drinkingBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 95-102 - 1979
Frederick Toates
AbstractDrinking and thirst-motivated behaviour have traditionally been explained in terms of the rather simple concept of homeostasis. A homeostatic mechanism readily accounts for responses to acute changes in body-fluid levels. However, there are other factors regulating intake, for example, cues associated with eating, which interact with the time elapsed since ...... hiện toàn bộ
Security of infantile attachment as assessed in the “strange situation”: Its study and biological interpretationBehavioral and Brain Sciences - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 127-147 - 1984
Michael E. Lamb, Ross A. Thompson, William Gardner, Eric L. Charnov, David Estes
AbstractThe Strange Situation procedure was developed by Ainsworth two decades agoas a means of assessing the security of infant-parent attachment. Users of the procedureclaim that it provides a way of determining whether the infant has developed species-appropriate adaptive behavior as a result of rearing in an evolutionary appropriate context, characterized by a ...... hiện toàn bộ
