The presentation will summarize the process that has been involved in revising the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders for its 5th Edition (DSM-V). It will describe a number of cross-cutting issues that have been the focus of this revision, including attempts to incorporate a dimensional approach into the diagnostic criteria and attempts to address developmental issues in the diagnostic criteria. The majority of the workshop will focus on changes being proposed for three disorders: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder.Where: Chan Centre for Family Health Education, Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), 950 West 28th Avenue, Vancouver V5Z 4H4 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800 Most people throughout the world and across time have considered music to be an important, sometimes even essential part of their lives. I'll review research that attempts to understand the nature and characteristics of our mental representations for music - the way that humans encode, recall, and experience music. Converging methodological approaches include psychophysics, neuroimaging, and work with special populations including individuals with Williams Syndrome and Autism. Understanding how the components of music, such as pitch, tempo, and timing are represented may hold the key to better understanding how music can move us emotionally. Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800 In the third of these talks, "Behavioural development in children" Prof. Adele Diamond and Prof. Clyde Hertzman, both Canada Research Chairs, will share their thoughts on early child development. The two researchers are uncovering new evidence that childhood remains the most crucial period for enhancing or undermining a person's cognitive abilities. Diamond and Hertzman will discuss their discoveries and the implications of their research on the factors and activities that determine whether a person thrives or struggles in the face of challenges that require a nimble, resilient and creative mind.This event is free and open to the public thanks to sponsorship from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the University of British Columbia. Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://web.me.com/adrian.owen/site/Home.html The seventh QML is titled "When Thoughts Become Actions: Imaging Disorders of Consciousness" and it will be given by Adrian Owen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the Centre for Brain & Mind at University of Western Ontario. As you’ll see from his biographical sketch below, Dr. Owen is a renowned researcher who has revolutionized the way we think about consciousness and mental functions in severely brain-injured patients. His research using functional neuroimaging technology reveals conscious awareness in some patients who appear to be entirely vegetative, and can even allow some of these individuals to communicate their thoughts and wishes to the outside world. Please go to and complete the registration form. Registration is open to psychology alumni, members and the public.Since our capacity at both the lecture and the reception is limited, please go to the website listed above and register by Monday, February 13th.

Are human beings born with an innate "moral grammar" that causes them to analyze human action in terms of its moral structure, with just as little awareness as they analyze human speech in terms of its grammatical structure? Questions like these have been at the forefront of moral psychology ever since John Mikhail revived them in his influential work on the linguistic analogy and its implications for jurisprudence and moral theory. In this seminal book, Mikhail offers a careful and sustained analysis of the moral grammar hypothesis, showing how some of John Rawls’ original ideas about the linguistic analogy, together with famous thought experiments like the trolley problem, can be used to improve our understanding of moral and legal judgment. The book will be of interest to philosophers, cognitive scientists, legal scholars, and other researchers in the interdisciplinary field of moral psychology." Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/nicholas.epley/ From his online bio, "Nicholas Epley conducts research on the experimental study of social cognition, perspective taking, and intuitive human judgment. "Most people are intuitive psychologists in their daily lives - wondering why people think or behave as they do. I just happened to find a profession that enables me to answer these questions for a living," explains Epley.His research has appeared in more than two dozen journals, including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, Psychological Review, and the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. His research also has been featured by the Wall Street Journal, CNN, Wired, and National Public Radio, among many others, has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and has earned the 2008 Theoretical Innovation Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology and the 2010 Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions from the American Psychological Association." Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://gsc.psych.ubc.ca/events/psychfest/psychfest.html Following tradition, Psychfest is an all-day event during which second-year Master's students, as well as new PhD students, present their research to the entire department. It's the only opportunity for students to share their work with everyone in the Psychology department, so it's a rare and exciting occasion for each student.We're pleased to announce that this year's guest speaker will be Nick Epley from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business! Dr. Epley's website: http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/nicholas.epley/ Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.greencollege.ubc.ca/index/spotlight275.php Prof. Churchland is Professor Emerita of Philosophy at the University of California at San Diego, Adjunct Professor at the Salk Institute, and author of Braintrust.You can hear her speak on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, in the Green College Principal's Lecture series on the topic: "Braintrust: What Neuroscience tells us about morality" to be held in the Coach House, at 5 pm. Dinner will be at 6:30 pm at Green College, followed by a fireside chat at 8:00 pm in the Piano Lounge. If you wish to join us for dinner at Green College, I will be happy to provide a meal ticket (cost $18 for faculty, $15 for students). In addition, Prof. Churchland will lead a colloquium at the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies on Thursday, January 26, 2012 from 10 am until noon. The topic will be: "What is the role for rules in social behavior?"Ann Cameronacameron@psych.ubc.ca Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 ** (coffee and snacks will be served half an hour before the talk at 12:00 pm) **What we practice, we improve at. This principle applies to skill learning from physical to cognitive skills. Normally, the acquisition of a new skill depends on both explicit and implicit memory mechanisms in the brain. Initial, explicit instruction is followed by gradual improvement through repetitive practice (via implicit learning mechanisms). Using a novel perceptual-motor sequence learning task, operating characteristics and interactions between memory systems will be examined. Applying the principle of improvement through practice to a general cognitive skill, working memory maintenance, we find that similar mechanisms likely support increases in general cognitive ability. The memory systems framework provides a useful starting point for characterizing how memorization and practice each contribute, but this framework will need to be extended to account for interactions and crosstalk between types of memory in skill learning. Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 Large numbers of plastic neurons are added to the hippocampus in adulthood. While these new neurons have been linked with a number of behaviours, no clear function has emerged. My research indicates that newborn neurons regulate emotional behaviour and the response to stress. The next challenge is to identify the synaptic and cellular mechanisms by which new neurons and related circuits guide behaviour. Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 The development of excessive drug-taking and -seeking behavior in addicted individuals is thought to involve drug-induced neuroadaptations in the striatum. Here, we show that chronic up-regulation of the cAMP-PKA intracellular signaling pathway in direct and indirect striatal output neurons leads to differential effects on cocaine self-administration and dopamine-mediated locomotor activity. We also found that increasing the function of the downstream target CREB facilitated the motivation for cocaine, possibly through negative reinforcement mechanisms. These data suggest that similar neuroadaptations in different striatal output neurons play distinct but complementary roles in promoting excessive drug-taking and drug-seeking behavior. Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800 The value of animal research to understand human health problems depends upon the validity of the animal models. I am working on two projects to model two human problems. The first project is aimed at modeling delayed-onset post-traumatic stress disorder. I will present my behavioral experiments developing this new model. The other project is aimed at modeling relapse to unhealthy eating during dieting using the reinstatement of palatable food-seeking procedure. I will present my work pharmacologically validating this model by giving rats the diet drug fenfluramine, which is effective in human dieting, to see if it works in the reinstatement model.

My colleagues and I have been tackling this mystery from several directions, with the common underlying theme of forming novel combinations of existing representations. Encoding separable elements of tasks in different brain areas is one important way to facilitate the formation of useful novel combinations. This motivates an understanding of large-scale brain organization along several axes: What (identification/semantics, in ventral stream) vs. How (performance, in dorsal stream); Online processing (stimulus driven, in posterior cortex) vs. Control (goal driven, in prefrontal cortex); and External (stimuli and actions, in lateral cortex) vs. Internal (subjective/affective values, in medial cortex). Using biologically-based computational models, we show how novel behavior can arise by recombining these different elements. But it is not enough to merely form a novel combination: the separate elements must also interact appropriately in driving the resulting behavior. We show how the basal ganglia is well situated to integrate different elements in a way that specifically facilitates novel task performance, by separating control from content. Several empirical tests of our models using a variety of methods are also described. Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800 The inhibition of thoughts and actions figures centrally in daily life. Inhibition is thought to be an effortful, targeted, executive function that taps specialized neural mechanisms and relies upon the integrity of prefrontal cortical regions. Inhibitory processes have thus been invoked to explain developments in cognitive control in children, patterns of prefrontal activity during putatively inhibitory tasks, and the function of inhibitory neurons. Here, we present an alternate perspective, that inhibition is an effortless, diffuse by-product of the active maintenance capacities of the prefrontal cortex. We test competing predictions from active-maintenance and standard inhibitory accounts in the domains of task-switching, response inhibition, and language production. Our evidence -- from computational models, studies with children, links to psychopathology, and fMRI, ERP, pupilometric, and neuropharmacological methods -- supports active-maintenance accounts of inhibition and prefrontal function.

Much of that inquiry proceeded without the benefit of modern cognitive science, but that is now changing. And the change promises to shed new light on morality, particularly its practices, development, and the psychology behind ethical thought. In this series we bring together speakers from a vast array of disciples--from philosophy and law to biology and psychology--to discuss cutting edge research in the cognitive science of morality.

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0700 The psychological approach to meaning often relies on the notion that meaning is a problem to be solved by the human meaning maker. I will present a different approach to meaning inspired by William James’ nonsensory fringe of consciousness. From this perspective, meaning is a ubiquitous aspect of human experience that emerges out of intuitive processes. From this perspective, sense is not made but automatically sensed through meta-cognitive experience, heuristics, and affect. Research on magical thinking, pattern recognition, and semantic coherence judgments demonstrates the importance of individual differences in intuitive information processing and positive affect in the experience of meaning. Recognizing and understanding the intuitive experience of meaning promises to illuminate the grand judgment of life’s meaningfulness, the relationship between conscious thought and meaning, and the place of the experience of meaning in a natural science.

If I say lying is wrong, I'm disapproving of it, or expressing a negative emotional reaction to it, or some such. So I disagree with moral realists, who think that I am reporting a fact. "Lying is wrong" is more like "Boo Boston!" than it is like "Grass is green." But this view of things comes with significant explanatory burdens. It turns out to be really hard to explain why we seem to disagree with one another about what really matters when we engage in moral disputes, and it's really hard to explain how we can reason our way to moral conclusions. Consider this perfectly valid inference: Failing to save a drowning child is wrong; if that is wrong, then failing to donate $15 to Oxfam is wrong; so, it's wrong to fail to donate $15 to Oxfam. [Matt begrudgingly writes a check]. The problem is, one can't formulate rational, valid inferences with "Boo"s - one has to use language that looks like statements of fact. In this talk, I will draw of the semantics of vague language to give an account of the meaning of moral terms that allows them to merely express sentiments, but also explains moral reasoning, and explains away appearances that favour the moral realist.
