Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Attachment

Attachment

Attachment is vital for infant development, as warm social interactions support growth and well-being. In a classic 1958 study by Harry Harlow, the significance of warmth and comfort in forming attachments was examined. Harlow separated newborn monkeys from their mothers and provided two artificial "mothers": one made of cold wire and the other covered in soft cloth. Despite the wire mother offering food, the infant monkeys preferred the comfort of the cloth mother, demonstrating that physical...

Repressed Memory

Repressed Memory

Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative disorders represent complex psychological conditions characterized by disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception. These disruptions cause individuals to experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The phenomenon is not merely an occasional lapse in attention but a profound alteration in mental functioning that can severely impact daily life.

Dissociative Amnesia

Dissociative Amnesia

Dissociative amnesia is a complex psychological condition that manifests as an inability to recall personal information, often tied to traumatic or stressful events. Unlike general amnesia, individuals with this condition retain the ability to perform routine activities and procedural tasks, such as operating a phone or navigating public transportation, yet experience profound gaps in autobiographical memory. These lapses may encompass significant life events, such as suicide attempts or...

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.

Summary

Patients with neglect show impaired detection of left-sided stimuli. This study found that imaginal neglect is robust and independent of visual input, suggesting brain damage affects spatial representation.

Background:

Neglect is a deficit in detecting, orienting to, or responding to stimuli from a specific spatial region, typically the left side.
Previous research suggests visual input can influence neglect symptoms, but its effect on representational (imaginal) neglect is debated.
Theories propose imaginal neglect involves failure to generate mental images or deficits in attention orienting (bottom-up and top-down).

Observation:

A patient with right hemisphere damage (R.D.) explored a map visually and imaginally.
R.D. showed a bias towards the right side in both visual and imaginal exploration, but not in a propositional task.
This rightward bias was consistent regardless of mental rotation or response type (verbal or manual).

Findings:

Representational neglect in R.D. was robust and not influenced by visual input or task demands.
Damage to right hemisphere white matter tracts and the splenium of the corpus callosum correlated with imaginal neglect.
A second patient with spared callosal connections did not exhibit imaginal neglect.

Implications:

Imaginal neglect may stem from fronto-parietal dysfunction and disrupted interhemispheric communication.
Findings suggest distinct neural mechanisms for visual and imaginal neglect.
Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for diagnosing and treating spatial attention disorders.
