Ionescu-Gaglio, Octavia. "Caravan : Investigating the dynamics and consequences of Collective mentAl time tRAvel in light of perceiVed societAl aNomie." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021PA080043.
After neglecting the temporal aspect of social groups for a long time, a growing body of research in social psychology now apprehends groups as entities that move through time and suggests that people’s representations of the collective past and future, in addition to being continuously (re)constructed according to the present, are relevant for understanding current collective behaviours. This new line of research has recently led to the idea of a collective mental time travel (CMTT) -i.e., the collective equivalent of individual mental time travel, that would gather the cross-influences between people’s representations of the group’s present, past, and future. This thesis aimed to examine the dynamics and consequences of these CMTT in light of perceived societal anomie -i.e., perceiving that current society is disintegrated and disregulated. Through nine correlational and experimental studies, we found that perceiving anomie within current society (a) lead individuals to reinterpret the national past (e.g., even more positive representations of the former French president Charles de Gaulle) (b) fostered the projection of negative, anxiety-inducing national futures and (c) influenced the relationships between people’s representations of the national past and future (e.g., declinist representations of the nation across time that were steeper when current society was perceived as highly anomic). Moreover, these CMTT were in turn associated with people’s current support for and intention to engage in various types of actions aimed at defending France (including anti-immigration actions)

Some authors support that mental time travel is unique to humans. To their point of view, animals are not able to project themselves into the past of the future because they are bound into the present. Nevertheless, during the last 30 years, researchers have brought considerable knowledge on animals’ capacities to travel mentally through time. Even though opinions have evolved, the debate concerning the unicity of mental time travel is still on. My PhD thesis aimed at bringing further knowledge on this matter by focusing on an innovative aspect of episodic cognition in common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis and Eurasian jay, Garrulus glandarius, namely, source-memory. Source-memory is the capacity to retrieve the origin of an episodic memory. Results showed that cuttlefish were able to perform a source-discrimination study, revealing that they were able to discriminate and retrieve their own perceptions after 3-hours delay. A study on jays’ capacity to encode incidentally a contextual information (contextual source) revealed unexpected differences between males and females. Investigation of future-oriented behaviour in cuttlefish showed that they were able to take a decision in the present according to previous encoded knowledge and according to future experimental conditions. A preliminary study also revealed promising results on cuttlefish capacity to anticipate their future needs. To finish, we explored and revealed for the first time the neuronal substrates of episodic-like memory in cuttlefish. Alltogether, these results provide new knowledge on mental time travel in cuttlefish and in jays, suggesting that this capacity would have evolved under different environmental contraints

In this thesis, I propose to rethink memory in order to rethink personal identity. I start from an interrogation about personal identity. How is it possible that people, despite the changes that affect them, recognize themselves as themselves? A common answer to the diachronic question of personal identity is that memory is what makes the self: memories allow us to connect with ourselves and to have an idea of our diachronic personal identity. But interestingly, the recent empirical research on episodic memory shows that it has a constructive dimension and is not only a storage capacity that allows one to preserve and retrieve accurate representations of the past. What does it change for the question of personal identity? I start with an exploration of John Locke’s memory theory of personal identity, and argue that to be a person, in Locke's view, is to recognize oneself as same at different moments of time and thus, in this act of self-recognition, to constitute oneself as a person with a temporal dimension. I argue that Locke’s preservative view of memory has to be revised, and I propose an empirically informed discussion on the concept of memory. I contend that episodic memory has a constructive dimension and has both epistemic functions and functions related to the constitution of diachronic personal identity. I propose a constructive memory theory of personal identity. Episodic memory is at the same time a capacity which allows me to recognize myself and, because this recognition is not a simple recognition but a construction of a representation of myself through the gathering of information from various sources, it can produce and constitute my personal identity

Objectives To examine the impact of memory accessibility on episodic future thinking. Design Single-case study of neurological patient HCM and an age-matched comparison group of neurologically Healthy Controls. Methods We administered a full battery of tests assessing general intelligence, memory, and executive functioning. To assess autobiographical memory, the Autobiographical Memory Interview (Kopelman, Wilson, & Baddeley, 1990. The Autobiographical Memory Interview. Bury St. Edmunds, UK: Thames Valley Test Company) was administered. The Past Episodic and Future Episodic sections of Dalla Barba's Confabulation Battery (Dalla Barba, 1993, Cogn. Neuropsychol., 1, 1) and a specifically tailored Mental Time Travel Questionnaire were administered to assess future thinking in HCM and age-matched controls. Results HCM presented with a deficit in forming new memories (anterograde amnesia) and recalling events from before the onset of neurological impairment (retrograde amnesia). HCM's autobiographical memory impairments are characterized by a paucity of memories from Recent Life. In comparison with controls, two features of his future thoughts are apparent: Reduced episodic future thinking and outdated content of his episodic future thoughts. Conclusions This article suggests neuropsychologists should look beyond popular conceptualizations of the past–future relation in amnesia via focussing on reduced future thinking. Investigating both the quantity and quality of future thoughts produced by amnesic patients may lead to developments in understanding the complex nature of future thinking disorders resulting from memory impairments.

Time. The notion of time is something inherent to human behavior; the pervasive understanding of temporal relations present in nature was and is crucial for our adaptation and survival as a species. Nevertheless, it is still not well defined in the literature how time is conceptualized and mapped by the brain. What we know is that phenotypic plasticity presented by our species cannot be justified only by our genetic nor corporal/linguistic experiences. Therefore, culture comes as a potential source for this variability. Considering the culture as one of the bases that shape our conception of time and evaluating this variability across the human populations: the objective of this work is to explore one of the dimensions of temporal cognition: the capacity to travel mentally in time. We aim to assess which are the influences of remembering the past and projecting de future on decision-making, in particular in economic intertemporal choices and risky behaviors.We carried out three experiments with the same experimental procedures. Each participant was respectively induced to focus on one day of his/her past or future, always with a distance of fifteen years. These effects were measured through standard questionnaires used in this field: monetary choice questionnaire (Kirby, 1999) and DOSPERT questionnaire of risk-taking (Weber, 2002). This research was carried out in the Center of Mind, Brain and Behavior of the University of Granada, and the sample is composed by 120 students of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Granada.The observed results between the inducted groups were significant in the first and second experiment. These results showed a reduction of discounting rate when the temporal focus and the decisions were considered in the same time period. In the third experiment, the differences between groups were not significant, possibly because that this questionnaire is not adequate for this experiment, since because not all decisions are classified as intertemporal choice.The contrast among inducted groups indicates that manipulation of temporal focus can be an important tool to reduce the discounting rate. High discount rates have been associated with a number of risk behaviors. Thus, the temporal focus appears as a possible solution for the treatment and prevention of these behaviors. This project constitutes an advance in the understanding of psychological time, evidencing influences of temporal focus on our behavior.
Tempo. A noção de tempo é algo inerente ao comportamento humano; a constante compreensão das relações temporais presentes na natureza foi e é fundamental para a nossa adaptação e sobrevivência enquanto espécie. No entanto, como este conceito é conceptualizado e mapeado pelo cérebro ainda não está bem definido na literatura. O que se sabe é que a plasticidade fenotípica exibida pela nossa espécie não pode apenas ser justificada pela genética, nem apenas pelas experiências corporais e linguísticas, surgindo a cultura como fonte provável desta variabilidade.Considerada a cultura um dos pilares da nossa conceptualização do tempo e avaliando as influências desta variabilidade no comportamento de cada população: o objetivo deste trabalho é explorar a nossa capacidade de viajar no tempo mentalmente. Visamos verificar quais as influências de reviver o passado ou imaginar o futuro sobre a tomada de decisões intertemporais económicas e condutas de risco.Foram realizadas três experiências com o mesmo procedimento experimental. Cada participante foi induzido a focar-se respetivamente num dia do seu passado ou futuro, sempre com uma distância de quinze anos. Os efeitos deste foco temporal foram medidos através de questionários standard na área: questionário de escolhas intertemporais económicas (Kirby,1999) e questionário DOSPERT de condutas de risco (Weber,2002). Esta investigação foi realizada no Centro de Mente, Cérebro e Comportamento da Universidade de Granada, sendo a amostra composta por 120 alunos da Faculdade de Psicologia da Universidade de Granada.Os resultados observados entre os diferentes grupos de indução foram significativos nas experiências 1 e 2, evidenciando uma redução da taxa de desconto quando o foco temporal e as decisões a tomar se situam na mesma época temporal. Na experiência 3, sobre condutas de risco, as diferenças não foram significativas, especulando-se que este questionário não seja adequado à experiencia por nem todas as decisões serem classificadas como intertemporais. O contraste entre os grupos de indução indica que a manipulação do foco temporal pode ser uma ferramenta importante para reduzir a taxa de desconto. Elevadas taxas de desconto têm sido associadas a vários comportamentos de risco, surgindo o foco temporal como uma possível ferramenta para o tratamento e prevenção destes problemas.Este projeto constitui um avanço na compreensão do tempo psicológico, evidenciando influências do foco temporal no nosso comportamento.
