THE SOCIOBIOLOGY OF SOCIOPATHY:
AN INTEGRATED EVOLUTIONARY MODEL
Linda Mealey
Department of Psychology
College of St. Benedict
St. Joseph, MN 56374
ABSTRACT: Sociopaths are "outstanding" members of society in two
senses: politically, they command attention because of the
inordinate amount of crime they commit, and psychologically, they
elicit fascination because most of us cannot fathom the cold,
detached way they repeatedly harm and manipulate others. Proximate
explanations from behavior genetics, child development, personality
theory, learning theory, and social psychology describe a complex
interaction of genetic and physiological risk factors with
demographic and micro-environmental variables that predispose a
portion of the population to chronic antisocial behavior. Recent
evolutionary and game theoretic models have tried to present an
ultimate explanation of sociopathy as the expression of a
frequency-dependent life history strategy which is selected, in
dynamic equilibrium, in response to certain varying environmental
circumstances. This target article tries to integrate the proximate,
developmental models with the ultimate, evolutionary ones. Two
developmentally different etiologies of sociopathy emerge from two
different evolutionary mechanisms. Social strategies for minimizing
the incidence of sociopathic behavior in modern society should
consider the two different etiologies and the factors which
contribute to them.

TARGET ARTICLE AUTHOR'S RATIONALE FOR SOLICITING COMMENTARY:
Fast periodic brain responses have been investigated in various
mammals, humans included. Although most neuroscientists agree on the
importance of these processes, it is not at all clear what role they
play in cortical and subcortical processing. Are they simply a
byproduct of perceptual processes, or do they play a role in what can
be called higher or cognitive processing in the brain? We tried to
answer this question by performing experiments in which spectral
responses to meaningful words and physically similar but meaningless
pseudowords were recorded from the human cortex. The result,
differential 30-Hz responses to these stimuli, is interpreted in the
framework of a Hebbian cell assembly theory. We hope that both the
results and the brain-theoretic approach will stimulate a fruitful
multidisciplinary discussion.

ABSTRACT: In modern brain theory, cortical cell assemblies are
assumed to form the basis of higher brain functions such as form
and word processing. When gestures or words are produced and
perceived repeatedly by the infant, cell assemblies develop which
represent these building blocks of cognitive processing. This leads
to an obvious prediction: cell assembly activation ("ignition")
should take place upon presentation of items relevant for cognition
(e.g., words, such as "moon"), whereas no ignition should occur
with meaningless items (e.g., pseudowords, such as "noom"). Cell
assembly activity may be reflected by high-frequency brain
responses, such as synchronous oscillations or rhythmic
spatiotemporal activity patterns in which large numbers of neurons
participate. In recent MEG and EEG experiments, differential
gamma-band responses of the human brain were observed upon
presentation of words and pseudowords. These findings are
consistent with the view that fast coherent and rhythmic activation
of large neuronal assemblies takes place with word but not
pseudowords.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PSYCOLOQUY AUTHORS AND COMMENTATORS
PSYCOLOQUY is a refereed electronic journal (ISSN 1055-0143) sponsored
on an experimental basis by the American Psychological Association
and currently estimated to reach a 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.
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. However, except in very special cases, agreed upon in
advance, contributions that have already been published or are being
considered for publication elsewhere are not eligible to be considered
for publication in PSYCOLOQUY,

Comparing World-Modelling Strategies for Autonomous Mobile Robots
Uwe R. Zimmer & Ewald von Puttkamer
The focus of this paper is on strategies for adapting a couple of
internal representations to the actual environment of a mobile robot.
From the range of approaches, two different (and in a sense
orthogonal) basic ideas are discussed, regarding computational effort,
stability, reliability, sensor requirements, and consistency as well
as their useful applications. The first approach is an exact,
geometric technique using line representations extracted from the
information produced by a laser-range finder. The second discussed
possibility is a qualitative, topologic mapping of the environment
using neural clustering techniques. Both presented classes of
environment-modelling strategies are evaluated on the basis of
principal arguments and of simulations resp. tests on real robots.
Experiences from the MOBOT resp. the ALICE project are discussed
together with some related work.

ALICE - Topographic Exploration, Cartography and Adaptive Navigation
on a Simple Mobile Robot
Pascal Lefevre, Andreas Pruess & Uwe R. Zimmer
A sub-symbolic, adaptive approach to the basic world-modelling,
navigation and exploration tasks of a mobile robot is discussed in
this paper. One of the main goals is to adapt a couple of internal
representations to a moderate structured and dynamic environment. The
main internal world model is a qualitative, topologic map, which is
continuously adapted to the actual environment. This adaptation is
based on passive light and touch sensors as well as on a internal
position calculated by dead-reckoning and by correlation to distinct
sensor situations. Due to the fact that ALICE is an embedded system
with a continuous flow of sensor-samples (i.e. without the possibility
to stop this data-flow), realtime aspects have to be handled.
ALICE is implemented as a mobile platform with an on-board computer
and as a simulation, where light distributions and position drifts are
considered.

THEME OF COLLOQUIUM
The modeling of mental processes in the various human cognitive
activities has generated increasing interest in the scientific world
today. Cognitive models, cognitive simulations, auto-organization,
adaptation, emergence, genetic selection, Darwinian mentalism and
enaction are active research topics in neurological and psychological
theory.
The cognitive sciences offer a continuum of research extending from the
engineering sciences to the philosophy of mind, including the
neurosciences, cognitive psychology, linguistics, semantics, semiotics
and artificial intelligence. Three subconferences will organize
themselves around the following major complementary themes: (i)
Modeling (cognitive and brain functions), (ii) Philosophy of Mind and
Epistemology, and (iii) Applications (AI, technical and computational
engineering).
(i) Modeling is a point of intersection for all these specialties
because it includes the modeling of functions and dysfunctions of the
central nervous system, the neurocomputer sciences, the modeling of
psychocognitive and mental processes, the emergence of intentional
structure on the basis of biological structure, enaction, genetic
algorithms, neural networks, artificial "life," etc.
(ii) The philosophical and epistemological subcomponent poses questions
like the following: Can we elaborate mathematical models of the mind
and use them to describe and explain human behavior? Are we aiming
toward a mathematical model of the mind? Can we capture the formal
principles of the development and emergence of cognition? Can we
technologically recreate thought? Is the computational symbolic
paradigm, which has imposed itself for the last decades, still a
powerful conceptual tool or is it proving too reductionistic and if so,
how? What is the epistemological status of, for example, the
alternative proposed by the parallel distributed model to the
computational models of classical cognitivism? What is the relation os
the modeling activity of the cognitive and neurosciences and human
experience?
(iii) The applications subconference will consider practical domains in
which scientific results have been applied in the treatment of
language, the automated cognitive analyses of textual documents (an
intersection of linguistics, semantics, semiotics and artificial
intelligence), aids to decision making, applications in sensory
information processing, etc.
