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.

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.
KEYWORDS: sociobiology, sociopathy, psychopathy, antisocial
personality, evolution, criminal behavior, game theory, emotion,
moral development, facultative strategies
