Mind Race
Authors: Jamieson Patrick E , Rynn Moria A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
New to the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series are books written specifically for teens and adolescents. Each book addresses some of the major mental health issues facing young people today: depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders. They will be written for and by young people who have struggled with and conquered these illnesses themselves. Supplementing this first-person narrative with the scholarship and expertise of leading psychiatrists and psychologists, the authors will provide such essential information as how to go about getting a diagnosis, what the latest treatment options are, and how to cope with mental illness at home and at school. Using this unique combination of personal narrative and cutting-edge research, these books are designed to help teens and young adults deal effectively with these illnesses and to empower them and their families to act immediately and wisely at getting the best available treatment possible. The life of a person with bipolar disorder can be tumultuous. The world is made up of many moods: one is fast-paced, frantic, energetic - you are at the top of your game and feeling invincible. Another is so bleak and dark that basic tasks are nearly impossible - your body no longer abeys simple commands and your interest in the world around you dissolves. Now imagine a third mood: the sudden and volatile mixed state in which both the highs and lows occur simultaneously. Many of those diagnosed with this disorder are adolescents: young people who often feel isolated, afraid, and unsure of who to talk to or where to turn for help and answers. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 15, Patrick Jamieson knows firsthand the highs and lows and bring his experiences to bear in Mind Race, the first in the Annenberg Mental Health Initiative series written specifically for teenagers and young adults. This is a first-person account, aimed at teens who have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, combining Jamieson's personal experience with practical advice for young people. Incorporating the medical expertise of psychiatrist Moira Rynn, the author discusses his own challenges and triumphs and offers guidance on issues such as psychiatric hospitalisation, living with mood-stabilising medications, and "what doctors know" about bipolar disorder. In authoritative yet accessible language, he presents the latest in scientific research on the disorder, treatment options, and how to deal with the disorder at home and at school. Included is a detailed FAQ for the recently diagnosed. With Mind Race, Jamieson offers hope to teens and young adults living with bipolar disorder, helping them to navigate and overcome their challenges so they can lead a full and rewarding life.
There and Back: A Bipolar Trip
Authors: Jamieson Patrick E , Rynn Moria A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mania is about desperately seeking to live life at a more passionate level, taking second and sometimes third helpings on food, alcohol, drugs, sex, and money, trying to live a whole life in one day. —Andy Behrman, Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania (2002) It isn’t Dylan Thomas or even Jakob Dylan. I know that now, but when I wrote it early one morning in a wash of mania and alcohol, I thought this poem was brilliant. When born of a stable mind, these thoughts would be metaphors to me; when manic, I live them.
The Mechanisms of Human Action: Introduction and Background
Authors: Morsella Ezequiel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A few minutes at a local café allow one to appreciate the wide array of actions that humans are capable of expressing—reading the newspaper, waiting for a friend, shaking hands, grabbing the waiter’s attention with a “cappuccino, please.” Some actions at the café may be reflexive, automatic, voluntary, social, communicative, or reflect that hidden resource called “will power.” As ordinary as these actions are, they remain exceedingly difficult to understand from a scientific point of view.
Smart Moves: The Psychology of Everyday Perceptual-Motor Acts
Authors: Rosenbaum David A , Vaughan Jonathan , Meulenbroek Ruud G J , Jax Steven , Cohen Rajal G 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1996, when IBM’s Deep Blue computer beat the world’s greatest chess player (Gary Kasparov), a person rather than Deep Blue was responsible for looking at the board and moving the pieces. IBM may have chosen to use a person rather than a computer for the perceptual-motor aspects of chess playing because those aspects may have seemed too uninteresting to simulate. Nevertheless, no computer in 1996—and none now—can begin to do what any normal 4-year-old can do—climb trees, pick strawberries, or set up a chess board and lift and move the chess pieces to and from desired locations. The problems to be solved in such tasks are not just physical; they are also psychological. Our understanding of the psychological bases of everyday perceptual motor acts is miniscule compared to our understanding of the psychological bases of more intellectual activities such as chess playing. However, progress is being made on the psychology of physical action. This chapter reviews some progress in this area of research as instantiated in the theory of motor planning developed by the authors and their colleagues.
Mimicry: Its Ubiquity, Importance, and Functionality
Authors: Chartrand Tanya L , Dalton Amy N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the importance of mimicry in social life. It begins with a review of the various types of mimicry that researchers have uncovered. Research documenting verbal, facial, emotional, and behavioral mimicry is discussed, along with evidence for its automatic and non concious nature. Next, it is argued that mimicry has major social implications both within the mimicry interaction and beyond it. Evidence is reviewed linking mimicry to rapport and empathy, affiliation motives, and prosocial behavior. Mimicry also appears to impact the individuals being mimicked in nonsocial ways. It influences the cognitive processing style engaged in, the amount of regulatory resources they have, and the attitudes and preferences that they hold. Finally, four different theoretical approaches to the question of why humans mimic are discussed. These include conceptualizing mimicry as a communication tool, as a passive response based on an automatic perception-behavior link, as an adaptive behavior serving an important evolutionary function, and as a translator of neural responses into an understanding of the social environment.
Elbow Grease: When Action Feels Like Work
Authors: Preston Jesse , Wegner Daniel M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Human action is fueled by the exertion of the person in action. Just as cars run on gas and toy bunnies run on batteries, agents run on eff ort. Eff ort is easily recognizable all around us. We can see it in others when they strain and sweat and grimace as they work; we can see it in ourselves each time we raise a hand or walk up a hill or scrub potatoes for dinner.
Living on the Edge: Shifting Between Nonconscious and Conscious Goal Pursuit
Authors: Gollwitzer Peter M , Parks-Stamm Elizabeth J , Oettingen Gabriele 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses recent research exploring how shifts between conscious, controlled processing and automaticity affect goal pursuit. It begins by reviewing past approaches to nonconscious goal pursuit, including the search for both similarities between conscious and nonconscious goal pursuit and differences between the two. It then addresses the consequences of shifting between conscious and nonconscious goal striving, and the question of whether people can strategically shift from effortful, controlled goal striving to automaticity through forming implementation intentions.
Probability and Statistics
Authors: Johnston William , McAllister Alex M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Probability and statistics are distinct fields of mathematics and yet are naturally intertwined with one another—sharing many common goals, questions, and techniques. Roughly speaking, probability is the mathematics of chance that seeks to measure the likelihood of an event occurring. Many people enjoy probability theory because its simplest problems reflect our natural intuition about real-life experience. For example, we expect a fair coin toss to show heads half the time, which matches the corresponding calculation from probability theory. As probability theorists grapple with more sophisticated questions, the required mathematics becomes more sophisticated and advanced. In this way, probability theory is an intricate field of mathematics with many surprises.
Probability theory draws on ideas from both discrete mathematics and real analysis and uses them in creative and useful ways. For example, the probability model for a coin toss is quite different from the probability model for the weight of a person; the first situation has only two outcomes (heads and tails) and is studied using discrete mathematics, while the second has a continuum of outcomes (since any weight greater than zero is theoretically possible) and is studied using the theory of functions with a positive domain.
Dual Disorders: Addiction Combined With Depression or Bipolar Illness
Authors: Daley Dennis C , Douaihy Antoine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Late one cold December night, Senator George McGovern heard a knock on his door. When he opened it and saw a policeman and a member of the clergy, he knew something was terribly wrong. They told him that his daughter Terry, a mother of two young daughters, had died. She got drunk, passed out in the cold out of doors, and froze to death. In his book, simply titled Terry, the senator gives a brutally honest and eloquent description of his depressed alcoholic daughter’s life and how heartbroken he and Mrs. McGovern were over her tragic and untimely death. I found myself shedding tears when I read about how deeply he loved her and how sad and despondent he felt when she died. I also had the privilege of hearing Senator McGovern tell his personal story, so I knew that Terry had had two serious disorders. I also knew that her alcoholism and depression were chronic disorders and all too common among people in our society.
Changing Your Lifestyle
Authors: Daley Dennis C , Douaihy Antoine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Tools of recovery are the steps you take on a regular basis to manage your disorders. The more these become part of your daily life, the greater likelihood there is that your recovery will lead to positive changes. One such tool is attending support group meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), or mental health support groups for depression or bipolar illness. Meetings provide education, support, and a sense of hopefulness about change.
Kennedy and Khrushchev: Seeking—and Failing—to Learn about the Other
Authors: Hammond Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is not only difficult to learn from history but also difficult to learn from, or about, another person, for the same basic reasons: irreducible uncertainty, entangled indicators, and entangled causality—and it does n’t matter whether the other persons are heads of state or the next-door neighbors. We will see from the evidence below that, even in the most crucial and important of human affairs, the most skilled politicians fail to reduce uncertainty, and that fallible indicators and causes remain entangled despite strenuous, if misguided, efforts to disentangle them.
Continua
Authors: Hammond Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Researchers centered their work on intuition from the beginning. It is the first thing anyone thinks about when they think about judgment; it is at the core of the mystery of the process of judgment. And its opposite—analytical thought— has been paired with it from the beginning as well. Isaiah Berlin referred to them as “rivals,” and that certainly seems appropriate, for these two cognitive processes have been competing for our attention—and praise—since we have been pondering how we make our judgments.
Intuition: Seeking Rationality the Easy Way
Authors: Hammond Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There has always been tension between two major theories of cognitive activity. One theory, described in chapter 3, proposes that cognition works by aggregating information in a linear way, that is, by seeking surface indicators of depth information and simply adding or averaging their values. This process is known as the “linear model,” and there is little doubt that Homo sapiens and many other animals, birds, and insects do just that. There are three important research questions about this process: Under what conditions does it occur? What are the consequences? What parts of the brain are involved in that activity? We already know the answer to the first question: This sort of activity happens in a very wide variety of circumstances.
Current Research Themes
Authors: Hammond Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It has often been said that the last thing fish will discover will be water. This metaphor applies with force to the themes that guide the researchers in the field of judgment and decision making, and perhaps researchers everywhere. There are few researchers who are prepared to seek out and understand the differences between the thematic character of their work and that of their peers and explain them to their students. These differences, and the blindness thereto, became apparent during the latter part of the twentieth century, a time when the problem of understanding and evaluating intuitive, and even analytical, rationality became prominent.
Trying to Learn from History with Bernard Lewis and Jared Diamond
Authors: Hammond Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The status of history as an intellectual discipline has long been debated. Can we really learn anything other than the content of the story? Is it nothing but storytelling? These perennial questions and similar ones have slowly but surely taken center stage as democracy has replaced aristocracy as the source of public authority, thus allowing the judgment and decision-making process to come under wide critical review. History, broadly defined as past experience, has become more and more relevant to the process of forming social policy. And that, in turn, has led to a demand from the public that its policymakers learn from history, and especially from their mistakes. But if there is one universal complaint against legislators, and other policymakers—including the military—it is that they fail to learn: “Why can’t these people learn?” is a common complaint from their constituents.

What to Expect After Surgery
Authors: Apple Robin F , Lock James , Peebles Rebecka 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses what to expect immediately after your surgery and in the following few days and weeks. It will remind you of the importance of following the recommendations of your surgical team regarding your dietary intake, the amount of rest and physical activity you will need, and the necessity of being patient, using various supports, normalizing frustrations, and so on, in the short term. Once you have undergone your surgery, you deserve to give yourself a big congratulations and pat on the back for following through on your goal-an undertaking that was extensive in terms of mental, physical, financial, social, and logistical challenges. You deserve to be commended for persevering and accomplishing what you set your mind to.
The Nature of Extraordinary Human Evil
Authors: Waller James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is easy to detach ourselves from perpetrators of extraordinary human evil and their victims. Most of us know nothinginan experiential sense-about the perpetration of extraordinary evil. We have not been through anything in our personal lives that remotely compares to the atrocities inflicted on millions of victims of genocide and mass killing across the globe. Each of us is, though, the surviving heir of catastrophes and destruction that we never experienced. As such, we are called to find meaning where there appears to be none.
Trying to Get Help
Authors: Keegan Kyle , Moss Howard B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There I was, on a wet New Jersey street, my parents’ wrecked car upside down beside me. I had reached one of the lowest points in my life, and my situation was desperate. But in another respect, my dismal circumstances meant that if I were to keep on living, there was only one direction I could go, and that would have to be up. Eventually. In this next chapter of my story, you’ll see that I continued to have more downs than ups in my struggles to overcome my addiction, but my point in describing them at all is to show you something really important about treatment.
Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior
Authors: Shettleworth Sara J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
How do animals perceive the world, learn, remember, search for food or mates, communicate, and find their way around? Do any nonhuman animals count, imitate one another, use a language, or have a culture? What are the uses of cognition in nature and how might it have evolved? What is the current status of Darwin’s claim that other species share the same “mental powers” as humans, but to different degrees? In this completely revised second edition of Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior, Sara Shettleworth addresses these questions, among others, by integrating findings from psychology, behavioral ecology, and ethology in a unique and wide-ranging synthesis of theory and research on animal cognition, in the broadest sense--from species-specific adaptations of vision in fish and associative learning in rats to discussions of theory of mind in chimpanzees, dogs, and ravens. She reviews the latest research on topics such as episodic memory, metacognition, and cooperation and other-regarding behavior in animals, as well as recent theories about what makes human cognition unique. In every part of this new edition, Shettleworth incorporates findings and theoretical approaches that have emerged since the first edition was published in 1998. The chapters are now organized into three sections: Fundamental Mechanisms (perception, learning, categorization, memory), Physical Cognition (space, time, number, physical causation), and Social Cognition (social knowledge, social learning, communication). Shettleworth has also added new chapters on evolution and the brain and on numerical cognition, and a new chapter on physical causation that integrates theories of instrumental behavior with discussions of foraging, planning, and tool using.
Recognition Learning
Authors: Shettleworth Sara J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To recognize is to know again, ‘‘to perceive to be identical with something previously known’’ (Oxford English Dictionary, 3rd edition). Therefore, in a sense all learning involves recognition. This chapter is about how animals learn about objects, other animals, and events they experience in the absence of obvious relationships with other events. Such learning seems to reflect what people usually mean by recognition. When I ask,’’Do you recognize thatwoman?’’ I mean’’Have youseenherbefore?’’ Psychologists’ experiments on recognition memory (Chapter 7) capture this meaning. In behavioral ecology, recognition can refer to classifying objects or other animals appropriately on first encounter. For instance, kin recognition means treating relatives differently from other conspecifics, regardless of whether they have been encountered before.
Communication and Language
Authors: Shettleworth Sara J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Figure 14.1 depicts a classic ethological example of communication. A male stickle back in breeding condition, with a red belly, swims in a wavering path toward an eggladen female. When she responds to this ‘‘zig zig dance’’ by swimming toward the male, he heads toward his nest, and she follows. Upon reaching the nest, a little tunnel of vegetation on the substrate, the male pokes his head into the entrance, ‘‘showing’’ it to the female. She enters, and a further series of actions and reactions ends in her depositing eggs in the nest and the male releasing sperm over them.
Difficult Parents and Other Special Topics
Authors: Kearney Christopher A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Colby is a 14-year-old boy in ninth grade who has missed several days of school this semester. Colby has a long history of school refusal behavior dating to the beginning of middle school. An assessment reveals that Colby is missing school for tangible rewards outside of school, including time spent with friends, as well as to avoid general distress about school. Discussions with Colby’s parents about this issue have been difficult. Colby’s parents vociferously blame school officials for Colby’s absenteeism and for failing to inform them of the severity of their son’s problem. Although Colby’s parents seemed invested in resolving their son’s school refusal behavior the last two years, they seem much less invested this year. This is evidenced by failure to return telephone calls or appear for scheduled appointments with Colby’s guidance counselor.
Madness: Malignant Desires
Authors: Kringelbach Morten L . 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In November 2005, the Dalai Lama was invited to speak at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Washington, D.C. Although this event was not without controversy, he surprised many scientists with his remarkable open-mindedness, particularly concerning the validity of neuroscientific enquiry. The Dalai Lama spoke of how humans have “much conflicting emotion, much bad emotion, jealousy, anger, fear.” He is our great troublemaker.” He confessed that he “still feels anger and fear.” He said that meditation can help, but that he was not averse to other paths. He volunteered himself as a patient if neuroscientists wanted to pursue easier ways to quell the “troublemakers of the mind.”
Conditioned Taste Aversion and Latent Inhibition: A Review
Authors: Lubow R E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although laboratory studies of conditioned taste aversion (CTA) go back to the pioneering work of Garcia, Kimmeldorf, and Koelling (1955), the first demonstrations of latent inhibition (LI) with a CTA preparation did not appear until the 1960s. By the early 1970s, there were at least nine studies that had demonstrated that prior exposure to a to-be conditioned flavor interfered with CTA (Lubow, 1973). That conditioned aversion to a familiar stimulus appears to be weaker than to the same stimulus when it is novel is, of course, identical to the results from scores of LI experiments that have used a variety of learning paradigms.
