Preparedness & Phobias: BBS Call for Commentators

by Stevan Harnad

Below is the abstract of a forthcoming target article by: Graham Davey on: PREPAREDNESS AND PHOBIAS This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be current BBS Associates or nominated by a current BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please send email to: harnad(a)clarity.princeton.edu or harnad(a)pucc.bitnet or write to: BBS, 20 Nassau Street, #240, Princeton NJ 08542 [tel: 609-921-7771] To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, please give some indication of the aspects of the topic on which you would bring your areas of expertise to bear if you were selected as a commentator. An electronic draft of the full text is available for inspection by anonymous ftp according to the instructions that follow after the abstract. ____________________________________________________________________ PREPAREDNESS AND PHOBIAS: SPECIFIC EVOLVED ASSOCIATIONS OR A GENERALIZED EXPECTANCY BIAS? Graham Davey Psychology Division, Department of Social Science, The City University, Northampton Square, LONDON EC1V 0HB U.K. J.A.Fildes(a)city.ac.uk ABSTRACT Most phobias are focussed on a small number of fear-inducing stimuli (e.g. snakes, spiders). A review of the evidence supporting biological and cognitive explanations of this uneven distribution of phobias suggests that the readiness with which such stimuli become associated with aversive outcomes arises from biases in the processing of information about threatening stimuli rather than from phylogenetically based associative predispositions or "biological preparedness." This cognitive bias, consisting of a heightened expectation of aversive outcomes following fear-relevant stimuli, generates and maintains robust learned associations between them. Some of the features of such stimuli which determine this expectancy bias are estimates of how dangerous they are, the semiotic similarity between them and their aversive outcomes, and the degree of prior fear they elicit. Ontogenetic and cultural factors influence these features of fear-relevant stimuli and are hence important in determining expectancy bias. The available evidence does not exclude the possibility that both expectancy biases and specific evolved predispositions co-exist, but the former can explain a number of important findings that the latter cannot. KEYWORDS: Preparedness, phobias, biological preparedness, selective associations, information processing biases, classical conditioning, covariation assessment, cross-cultural studies. -------------------------------------------------------------- To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable by anonymous ftp from princeton.edu according to the instructions below (the filename is bbs.davey).

Phenomenal consciousness is experience; the phenomenally conscious aspect of a state is what it is like to be in that state. The mark of access-consciousness, by contrast, is availability for use in reasoning and rationally guiding speech and action. These concepts are often partly or totally conflated, with bad results. This target article uses as an example a form of reasoning about a function of "consciousness" based on the phenomenon of blindsight. Some information about stimuli in the blind field is represented in the brains of blindsight patients, as shown by their correct "guesses," but they cannot harness this information in the service of action, and this is said to show that a function of phenomenal consciousness is somehow to enable information represented in the brain to guide action. But stimuli in the blind field are BOTH access-unconscious and phenomenally unconscious. The fallacy is: an obvious function of the machinery of access-consciousness is illicitly transferred to phenomenal consciousness. KEYWORDS: access, attention, awareness, blindsight, consciousness, function, retrieval, subjective experience. -------------------------------------------------------------- To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable by anonymous ftp from princeton.edu according to the instructions below (the filename is bbs.block).

Message 23: >From root Wed Jun 15 04:07:03 1994 Date: Tue, 14 Jun 94 09:39:34 BST From: Paul Mc Kevitt <P.McKevitt(a)dcs.shef.ac.uk> To: connectionists(a)cs.cmu.edu CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS AISB-95: Hybrid Problems, Hybrid Solutions. ============================================ Monday 3rd -- Friday 7th April 1995 Halifax Hall of Residence & Computer Science Department University of Sheffield Sheffield, ENGLAND The Tenth Biennial Conference on AI and Cognitive Science organised by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour Programme Chair: John Hallam (University of Edinburgh) Programme Committee: Dave Cliff (University of Sussex) Erik Sandewall (University of Linkoeping) Nigel Shadbolt (University of Nottingham) Sam Steel (University of Essex) Yorick Wilks (University of Sheffield) Local Organisation: Paul Mc Kevitt (University of Sheffield) The past few years have seen an increasing tendency for diversification in research into Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Artificial Life. A number of approaches are being pursued, based variously on symbolic reasoning, connectionist systems and models, behaviour-based systems, and ideas from complex dynamical systems. Each has its own particular insight and philosophical position. This variety of approaches appears in all areas of Artificial Intelligence. There are both sybmolic and connectionist natural language processing, both classical and behaviour-based vision research, for instance. While purists from each approach may claim that all the problems of cognition can in principle be tackled without recourse to other methods, in practice (and maybe in theory, also) combinations of methods from the different approaches (hybrid methods) are more successful than a pure approach for certain kinds of problems. The committee feels that there is an unrealised synergy between the various approaches that an AISB conference may be able to explore. Thus, the focus of the tenth AISB Conference is on such hybrid methods. We particularly seek papers that describe novel theoretical and/or experimental work which uses a hybrid approach or papers from purists, arguing cogently that compromise is unnecessary or unproductive. While papers such as those are particularly sought, good papers on any topic in Artificial Intelligence will be considered: as always, the most important criteria for acceptance will be soundness, originality, substance and clarity. Research in all areas is equally welcome. The AISB conference is a single track conference lasting three days, with a two day tutorial and workshop programme preceding the main technical event, and around twenty high calibre papers will be presented in the technical sessions. It is expected that the proceedings of the conference will be published in book form in time to be available at the conference itself, making it a forum for rapid dissemination of research results. SUBMISSIONS: High quality original papers dealing with the issues raised by mixing different approaches, or otherwise related to the Conference Theme, should be sent to the Programme Chair. Papers which give comparative experimental evaluation of methods from different paradigms applied to the same problem, papers which propose and evaluate mixed-paradigm theoretical models or tools, and papers that focus on hybrid systems applied to real world problems will be particularly welcome, as will papers from purists who argue cogently that the hybrid approach is flawed and a particular pure approach is to be preferred. Papers being submitted, whether verbatim or in essence, to other conferences whose review process runs concurrently with AISB-95 should indicate this fact on their title page. If a submitted paper appears at another conference it must be withdrawn from AISB-95 (this does not apply to presentation at specialist workshops). Papers that violate these requirements may be rejected without review. SHEFFIELD: Sheffield is one of the friendliest cities in the UK and is situated well having the best and closest surrounding countryside of any major city in the UK. The Peak District National Park is only minutes away. It is a good city for walkers, runners, and climbers. It has two theatres, the Crucible and Lyceum. The Lyceum, a beautiful Victorian theatre, has recently been renovated. Also, the city has three 10 screen cinemas. There is a library theatre which shows more artistic films. The city has a large number of museums many of which demonstrate Sheffield's industrial past, and there are a number of Galleries in the City, including the Mapping Gallery and Ruskin. A number of important ancient houses are close to Sheffield such as Chatsworth House. The Peak District National Park is a beautiful site for visiting and rambling upon. There are large shopping areas in the City and by 1995 Sheffield will be served by a 'supertram' system: the line to the Meadowhall shopping and leisure complex is already open. The University of Sheffield's Halls of Residence are situated on the western side of the city in a leafy residential area described by John Betjeman as ``the prettiest suburb in England''. Halifax Hall is centred on a local Steel Baron's house, dating back to 1830 and set in extensive grounds. It was acquired by the University in 1830 and converted into a Hall of Residence for women with the addition of a new wing. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT SHEFFIELD: Sheffield Computer Science Department has a strong programme in Cognitive Systems and is part of the University's Institute for Language, Speech and Hearing (ILASH). ILASH has its own machines and support staff, and academic staff attached to it from nine departments. Sheffield Psychology Department has the Artificial Intelligence Vision Research Unit (AIVRU) which was founded in 1984 to coordinate a large industry/university Alvey research consortium working on the development of computer vision systems for autonomous vehicles and robot workstations. FORMAT AND DEADLINES: Four copies of submitted papers must be received by the Programme Chair no later than 24 OCTOBER 1994 to be considered. Papers should be at most 12 pages in length and be produced in 12 point, with at most 60 lines of text per A4 page and margins at least 1 inch (2.5cm) wide on all sides (default LaTeX article style is OK). They should include a cover sheet (not counted in the 12 page limit) giving the paper title, the abstract, the authors and their affiliations, including a contact address for both electronic and paper mail for the principal author. Papers should be submitted in hard-copy, not electronically. Papers that do not adhere to this format specification may be rejected without review. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors by 7 DECEMBER 1994 and full camera-ready copy will be due in early JANUARY 1995 (publishers' deadlines permitting). CONFERENCE ADDRESS: Correspondence relating to the conference programme, submissions of papers, etc. should be directed to the conference programme chair at the address below.

Paradoxical Cognition: PSYCOLOQUY Call for Commentaries (197 lines)

by Stevan Harnad

David Navon: "Paradoxical Effects in Cognition" The target article whose abstract follows below has just been published in BBS's electronic counterpart, PSYCOLOQUY, a refereed electronic journal of Open Peer Commentary (ISSN 1055-0143) sponsored on an experimental basis by the American Psychological Association and currently estimated to reach a worldwide readership of 40,000. PSYCOLOQUY publishes brief reports of new ideas and findings on which the author wishes to solicit rapid peer feedback, international and interdisciplinary ("Scholarly Skywriting"), in all areas of psychology and its related fields (biobehavioral science, cognitive science, neuroscience, social science, etc.). All contributions are refereed. The qualified professional readership of PSYCOLOQUY is hereby invited to submit Open Peer Commentary. The full article is retrievable by anonymous ftp (or gopher, archie, www) from: host: princeton.edu directory: pub/harnad filename: psyc.94.5.36.paradoxical-cognition.1.navon Full ftp instructions at end of this message. TARGET ARTICLE AUTHOR'S RATIONALE FOR SOLICITING COMMENTARY This is a target article on paradoxical effects in cognition (e.g., trying in vain not to think of a pink elephant). Though it uses the basic reasoning typical of cognitive psychology, it impinges on several topics in physiological, clinical, and sport psychology. Commentary providing relevant evidence from any area would be welcome, but because the article attempts to erect a bridge between a number of diverse phenomena it would be particularly helpful to hear how specialists from these disparate domains view the relationships among the phenomena touched upon (e.g., panic, anxiety, hypochondriasis, respiratory disorder, pain, sleep/consciousness, voluntary control, motivation, and cognition). psycoloquy.94.5.36.paradoxical-cognition.1.navon Thursday, 23 June 1994 ISSN 1055-0143 (62 paragraphs, 4 notes, 182 references, 1622 lines) PSYCOLOQUY is sponsored by the American Psychological Association (APA) Copyright 1994 David Navon FROM PINK ELEPHANTS TO PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDERS: PARADOXICAL EFFECTS IN COGNITION David Navon Department of Psychology The University of Haifa Haifa, Israel RSPS311(a)UVM.HAIFA.AC.IL ABSTRACT: Several paradoxical effects in cognition are discussed. One type is "evasions" -- of a thought, a perception, or a response -- that may cause the presence of precisely what is meant to be avoided. Another type is "lay interventions" that channel information to mental processes that do not know how to deal with it, often resulting in aggravation of the problem meant to be solved by the intervention. Some psychosomatic effects may be due to lay interventions. Paradoxical effects may stem from attempts to bypass, or substitute for, the normal functioning of subsystems of the mind. KEYWORDS: attention, automatic processes, consciousness, controlled processing, incidental learning, motor set, pain, panic attacks, paradoxical effects, positive feedback, psychosomatic disorders, recall failures INSTRUCTIONS FOR PSYCOLOQUY COMMENTATORS Accepted PSYCOLOQUY target articles have been judged by 5-8 referees to be appropriate for Open Peer Commentary, the special service provided by PSYCOLOQUY to investigators in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, cognitive sciences and philosophy who wish to solicit multiple responses from an international group of fellow specialists within and across these disciplines to a particularly significant and controversial piece of work. If you feel that you can contribute substantive criticism, interpretation, elaboration or pertinent complementary or supplementary material on a PSYCOLOQUY target article, you are invited to submit a formal electronic commentary. Please note that although commentaries are solicited and most will appear, acceptance cannot, of course, be guaranteed. 1. Before preparing your commentary, please read carefully the Instructions for Authors and Commentators and examine recent numbers of PSYCOLOQUY. 2. Commentaries should be limited to 200 lines (1800 words, references included). PSYCOLOQUY reserves the right to edit commentaries for relevance and style. In the interest of speed, commentators will only be sent the edited draft for review when there have been major editorial changes. Where judged necessary by the Editor, commentaries will be formally refereed. 3. Please provide a title for your commentary. As many commentators will address the same general topic, your title should be a distinctive one that reflects the gist of your specific contribution and is suitable for the kind of keyword indexing used in modern bibliographic retrieval systems. Each commentary should have a brief (~50-60 word) abstract 4. All paragraphs should be numbered consecutively. Line length should not exceed 72 characters. The commentary should begin with the title, your name and full institutional address (including zip code) and email address. References must be prepared in accordance with the examples given in the Instructions. Please read the sections of the Instruction for Authors concerning style, preparation and editing. Target article length should normally not exceed 500 lines [c. 4500 words]. Commentaries and responses should not exceed 200 lines [c. 1800 words]. All target articles, commentaries and responses must have (1) a short abstract (up to 100 words for target articles, shorter for commentaries and responses), (2) an indexable title, (3) the authors' full name(s) and institutional address(es). In addition, for target articles only: (4) 6-8 indexable keywords, (5) a separate statement of the authors' rationale for soliciting commentary (e.g., why would commentary be useful and of interest to the field? what kind of commentary do you expect to elicit?) and (6) a list of potential commentators (with their email addresses). All paragraphs should be numbered in articles, commentaries and responses (see format of already published articles in the PSYCOLOQUY archive; line length should be < 80 characters, no hyphenation). It is strongly recommended that all figures be designed so as to be screen-readable ascii. If this is not possible, the provisional solution is the less desirable hybrid one of submitting them as postscript files (or in some other universally available format) to be printed out locally by readers to supplement the screen-readable text of the article. PSYCOLOQUY also publishes multiple reviews of books in any of the above fields; these should normally be the same length as commentaries, but longer reviews will be considered as well. Book authors should submit a 500-line self-contained Precis of their book, in the format of a target article; if accepted, this will be published in PSYCOLOQUY together with a formal Call for Reviews (of the book, not the Precis). The author's publisher must agree in advance to furnish review copies to the reviewers selected. Authors of accepted manuscripts assign to PSYCOLOQUY the right to publish and distribute their text electronically and to archive and make it permanently retrievable electronically, but they retain the copyright, and after it has appeared in PSYCOLOQUY authors may republish their text in any way they wish -- electronic or print -- as long as they clearly acknowledge PSYCOLOQUY as its original locus of publication.
