Memory For Emotional And Nonemotional Events In Depression: A Question Of Habit?, Paula T. Hertel
Memory For Emotional And Nonemotional Events In Depression: A Question Of Habit?, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
The truest claim that cognitive science can make might also be the least sophisticated: the mind tends to do what it has done before. In previous centuries philosophers and psychologists invented constructs such as associations, habit strength, and connectivity to formalize the truism, but others have known about it, too. In small towns in the Ozarks, for example, grandmothers have been overheard doling out warnings such as, "Don't think those ugly thoughts; your mind will freeze that way." Depressed persons, like most of us, usually don't heed this advice. The thoughts frozen in their minds might not be "ugly," but …
The Cognitive-Initiative Account Of Depression-Related Impairments In Memory, Paula T. Hertel
The Cognitive-Initiative Account Of Depression-Related Impairments In Memory, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
The many and diverse interpretations of the word control make it clear that control constitutes a fundamental concern in most areas of psychology. In an illustration of this diversity, I described my interest in controlled uses of memory at a social gathering; my new acquaintances, without realizing the non sequitur, subsequently raised issues about self control and loss of control-issues much more relevant to their own interests in psychological phenomena than are my narrow musings. Yet a second thought devoted to the semantics of control reveals underlying commonalities. For example, when older people begin to have problems with controlled …
Approche Cognitive De La Dépression: Pensées Intrusives Et Contrôle De La Pensée, Paula T. Hertel
Approche Cognitive De La Dépression: Pensées Intrusives Et Contrôle De La Pensée, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
II y a trente ans, l'intitule "une approche cognitive de la dépression" aurait suscité divers commentaires en relation avec l'importante approche clinique de la dépression proposée par Aaron T. Beck et ses collègues. C'est encore le cas aujourd'hui; Beck fut probablement le premier à souligner le rôle joué par les représentations de l’expérience vécue, et par les pensées concernant cette expérience, dans l’élaboration, le maintien et le traitement des états et des humeurs dépressifs. De nos jours, cependant, d'autres approches cognitives devraient également venir à l'esprit, car les progrès réalisés en psychologie cognitive expérimentale au cours des dix dernières années …
Research Methods In Cognition And Emotion, W G. Parrott, Paula T. Hertel
Research Methods In Cognition And Emotion, W G. Parrott, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
In this chapter we critically survey research methods used in the field of cognition and emotion. Research on cognition and emotion addresses a great variety of topics, which include the ways in which emotional states influence cognitive processes, the role of cognition in producing emotion, and folk categories and knowledge of emotion. So great is this variety that a brief chapter cannot address all the research methods that have contributed to the expansion of knowledge that has occurred in recent years; there are too many methods, and many are relevant only to particular specialized topics. Specialized research methods are discussed …
Cognition, Emotion, And Memory: Some Applications And Issues, H. C. Ellis, Paula T. Hertel
Cognition, Emotion, And Memory: Some Applications And Issues, H. C. Ellis, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
This chapter describes some ways in which the psychology of cognition, emotion, and memory can or might be applied in several practical settings. Recent years have seen a rapid growth in research on cognition and emotion and this research has been summarized in a variety of sources (e.g., Ellis & Ashbrook, 1988, 1989; Ellis, Varner, & Becker, in press; Fiedler & Forgas, 1988; lsen, 1984; Kuiken, 1989; Williams, Watts, MacLeod, & Mathews, 1988). Moreover, a new journal appeared in 1987, Cognition and Emotion, which is entirely devoted to relations among emotional states and the full range of cognitive processes …
Emotion, Mood, And Memory, Paula T. Hertel
Emotion, Mood, And Memory, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
The ways in which we attend, learn, and remember are related to our transitory moods and to our enduring emotional states. This assertion is based on research performed by experimental and clinical psychologists who use a variety of methods. In some studies, psychologists measure differences in emotional states and determine whether those differences are associated with differences in the ways that the participants perform cognitive tasks. These studies usually focus on unpleasant emotions and moods, such as depression and anxiety. In other studies, psychologists attempt to induce either unpleasant or pleasant moods in the participants (perhaps by having them listen …
Cognitive Interdependence In Close Relationships, Daniel M. Wegner, T. Giuliano, Paula T. Hertel
Cognitive Interdependence In Close Relationships, Daniel M. Wegner, T. Giuliano, Paula T. Hertel
Psychology Faculty Research
This chapter is concerned with the thinking processes of the intimate dyad. So, although we will focus from time to time on the thinking processes of the individual-as they influence and are influenced by the relationship with another person-our prime interest is in thinking as it occurs at the dyadic level. This may be dangerous territory for inquiry. After all, this topic resembles one that has, for many years now, represented something of a "black hole" in the social sciences-the study of the group mind. For good reasons, the early practice of drawing an analogy between the mind of the …
