Using Your Head: Measuring Infants' Rational Imitation of Actions

10.9K
Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville
One of the main challenges of infancy is to learn how to achieve one’s goals in the world, whether they are to pick up a toy or to express desires to another person, and one of the most powerful tools in this learning process is imitation. However, imitation is not always as simple as copying other people’s actions; it is also necessary to realize that goals and intentions guide behavior. The...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose

5.4K
A rational dosage regimen considers a drug's pharmacokinetics, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination from the body. By understanding these factors, the appropriate dosage can be determined, and the dosing schedule can be designed to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects.
In most cases, drugs are administered repetitively or infused continuously to maintain a steady-state concentration in the body. At a steady...

Loneliness Assuaged: Eye-Tracking an Audience Watching Barrage Videos

4.6K
The study proposes an activation-match model to study how loneliness is mitigated when a lonely audience watches barrage videos of rational and emotional appeals. The protocol uses eye tracking to document duration and fixation, accounting for the degree of satisfaction when emotional needs are appeased by content and...

Residue-Specific Exchange of Proline by Proline Analogs in Fluorescent Proteins: How "Molecular Surgery" of the Backbone Affects Folding and Stability

3.4K
To overcome the limitations of classical site-directed mutagenesis, proline analogs with specific modifications were incorporated into several fluorescent proteins. We show how the replacement of hydrogen by fluorine or of the single by double bonds in proline residues ("molecular surgery") affects fundamental protein properties, including their folding and interaction with...

Attitudes

32.7K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Area of Science:

  • Moral Philosophy
  • Epistemology
  • Argumentation Theory

Background:

  • The existing literature often contrasts rationalist and sentimentalist accounts of moral reasoning.
  • Debunking arguments are a key tool in philosophical inquiry, but their structure and implications require careful examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elaborate on a specific conception of moral reasoning.
  • To clarify the structure and application of debunking arguments.
  • To demonstrate how rationalism can incorporate insights traditionally associated with sentimentalist and Humean perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of moral reasoning and argumentation.
  • Philosophical exposition and defense of a rationalist approach.
  • Comparative analysis with sentimentalist and Humean theories.

Main Results:

  • A detailed explication of a rationalist model of moral reasoning is provided.
  • The structure of debunking arguments is clarified, revealing their potential limitations.
  • Rationalism is shown to be capable of capturing nuances previously thought exclusive to sentimentalist views.

Conclusions:

  • The presented rationalist framework offers a robust account of moral reasoning.
  • A nuanced understanding of debunking arguments is achieved.
  • The study acknowledges and clarifies the boundaries of its own scope, admitting certain limitations.
