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:

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).

PARADOXICAL EFFECTS IN COGNITION

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. 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,
Please submit all material to psyc(a)pucc.bitnet or psyc(a)pucc.princeton.edu

PSYCHIATRY
The forum was judged to be necessary because many of the findings and
viewpoints in the fields of psychiatry and abnormal psychology are both
controversial and easily misinterpreted, resulting in a lack of empathy
and understanding between those pursuing radically different approaches
to the aetiology and pathophysiology of mental illness. It is hoped that
the forum will act as a bridge between those taking a biomedical
viewpoint of the study and treatment of psychopathology, and those
taking a more existential or psychodynamic viewpoint.

Here are two position notices in the U.K., the first for permanent
positions, the second for a 1994/5 sabbatical in Perception.
From: Bob Remington <RER(a)psy.soton.ac.uk>
Subject: (1) Employment: 2 Lecturer/Research Posts, Psychology, Southampton UK
TWO LECTURERS IN PSYCHOLOGY at University of Southampton
(equivalent of U.S. assistant professorships)
The Department of Psychology at Southampton seeks to make two Lecturer
appointments (one at A grade, the other at either A or B grade) that
will provide the opportunity for well-qualified and highly-motivated
people to develop their research interests in areas that may either
enhance or complement our current research activities. At present, our
key research groupings are in (1) Health and Community Psychology
(including The Centre for Research in Sexual Health) and (2) Human
Development and Learning. However, with the appointment of Professor
Stevan Harnad (from September 1994) we will be establishing a similar
grouping in (3) Cognitive Science.
Research: We are particularly keen to attract active researchers with a
growing track record and clear potential to develop interesting lines
of research. The Department has a wide range of facilities capable of
supporting work across the spectrum of psychological inquiry. In
addition, substantial funds for specialist equipment purchase are
available.
Teaching: Our primary goal is to ensure that we appoint people with
real research strengths. We are, however, concerned to ensure that
appointees have a commitment to strengthening both our undergraduate
and postgraduate teaching programmes.
In seeking to appoint the best possible candidates, the Department
welcomes applications from all appropriately qualified people, including
those who are members of typically under-represented groups, e.g.,
women, ethnic minorities, and people with physical disabilities.
Salary Scales: A: #13,601-#18,855 ($20,402-$28,283) per annum.
B: #19,642-#25,107 ($29,463-$37,661) per annum. For informal
discussion, please contact the Head of Department, Professor Bob
Remington 0703-592-626 or 592-612 (email: RER(a)psy.soton.ac.uk)
Further particulars: Application forms available from the Personnel
Department (quote reference D/316), University of Southampton,
Highfield, Southampton, SO17 1BJ (Tel: 0703-593793). The closing date
for this application is 10th June, 1994.

the full year).
Fee for the course will be about #4000 ($6000) (or more, depending on the
the candidate's qualifications). Accommodation, facilities, etc. will
also be provided.
