Abstract:

Background: The first pregnancy can cause psychological problems, namely anxiety, if left untreated it will have a negative impact on both the mother and the fetus. Actions to reduce anxiety include thought stopping and guided imagery. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Tought Stopping and Guided Imagery therapy on the anxiety level of third trimester primgravida pregnant women in the New Basirih Health Center area. Method: This type of research is quantitative with a non equivalent control group design pretest-posttest. The study population was all third trimester primigravida pregnant women in the Puskesmas Basirih Baru area. The research samples were 20 trimester primigravida pregnant women, divided into thought stopping intervention and guided imagery groups with total sampling technique. Instruments for measuring anxiety, namely HRS-A, Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney test analysis. Results: Thought stopping statistic result p-value = 0.005 and guided imagery statistic result p-value = 0.007 so both has affected the anxiety level of pregnant women. Conclusion: Thought stopping and guided imagery can be used by pregnant women to reduce anxiety levels. Keywords: Anxiety Level, Guided Imagery, Thought Stopping.

Abstract:

Controlling our thoughts is central to mental well-being, and its failure is at the crux of a number of mental disorders. Paradoxically, behavioral evidence shows that thought suppression often fails. Despite the broad importance of understanding the mechanisms of thought control, little is known about the fate of neural representations of suppressed thoughts. Using fMRI, we investigated the brain areas involved in controlling visual thoughts and tracked suppressed thought representations using multivoxel pattern analysis. Participants were asked to either visualize a vegetable/fruit or suppress any visual thoughts about those objects. Surprisingly, the content (object identity) of successfully suppressed thoughts was still decodable in visual areas with algorithms trained on imagery. This suggests that visual representations of suppressed thoughts are still present despite reports that they are not. Thought generation was associated with the left hemisphere, and thought suppression was associated with right hemisphere engagement. Furthermore, general linear model analyses showed that subjective success in thought suppression was correlated with engagement of executive areas, whereas thought-suppression failure was associated with engagement of visual and memory-related areas. These results suggest that the content of suppressed thoughts exists hidden from awareness, seemingly without an individual's knowledge, providing a compelling reason why thought suppression is so ineffective. These data inform models of unconscious thought production and could be used to develop new treatment approaches to disorders involving maladaptive thoughts.

Abstract:

George Gillespie's valuable observations on light and lattice imageries are placed in the context of current research and theory on cognitive imagery (Kosslyn, Pylyshyn), ordinary and lucid dreaming, representational geometric imagery in scientific thought, the author's previous writings on altered states of consciousness, and Gibson's views on perception and imagery. Gillespie's reports show categories of imagery deconstruction and abstraction that link these areas and suggest an integrative model of the varieties of symbolic imagery.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study explored the relationships between individuals' ability to tolerate emotional distress to their tendency to worry excessively, the amount of imagery they experience during worrying, and the concreteness of their worrisome thought. A group of 119 university students completed a thought-listing task recording their most severe current worry, estimated the amount of imagery and verbal thought during this worry episode, and completed questionnaires assessing their worry proneness, negative effect, and ability to tolerate emotional distress. The concreteness of thought-listed worry episodes was rated by independent judges. Consistent with expectations, lower distress tolerance was associated with more worrying, even when levels of negative affect were statistically controlled for. Excessive worriers also reported lower levels of imagery, but imagery and distress tolerance were unrelated. The findings concerning concreteness were in the opposite direction to those expected: more excessive worrying and lower distress tolerance were associated with more concreteness of worrisome thought. The results are consistent with avoidance theory, but future research is needed to investigate the mechanisms by which low distress tolerance may contribute to excessive worrying.

Abstract:

Four experiments ( n = 105, 189, 26, 10, respectively) were carried out which permitted an investigation into the reliability of a previously reported increase in task-unrelated imagery and thought likelihood when experimenter and subject are opposite sexes [1]. All experiments found more task-unrelated images and thoughts when the experimenter and subject were of the opposite sex than when they were of the same sex. However, only one experiment found a significant relationship. The consistency of the outcomes of the four experiments along with the original significant finding of Algom and Singer led to the conclusion that interpersonal interaction of subject and experimenter of the opposite sex is a sufficiently salient event to influence task-unrelated imagery and thought during a vigilance task.

Abstract:

A brain computer interface is a communication system that translates brain activities into commands for a computer. For physically disabled people, who cannot express their needs through verbal mode (such as thirst, appetite etc), a brain-computer interface (BCI) is the only feasible channel for communicating with others. This technology has the capability of providing substantial independence and hence, a greatly improved quality of life for the physically disabled persons. The BCI technique utilizes electrical brain potentials to directly communicate to devices such as a personal computer system. Cerebral electric activity is recorded via the electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes attached to the scalp measure the electric signals of the brain. These signals are transmitted to the computer, which transforms them into device control commands. The efficiency of the BCI techniques lies in the extraction of suitable features from EEG signals followed by the classification scheme. This paper focuses on development of brain-computer interface model for motor imagery tasks such as movement of left hand, right hand etc. Several time domain features namely, spike rhythmicity, autoregressive method by Burgs, auto regression with exogenous input, autoregressive method based on Levinson are used by varying the prediction order. Frequency domain method involving estimation of power spectral density using Welch and Burg’s method are applied. A binary classification based on recurrent neural network is used. An optimal classification of the imagery tasks with an overall accuracy of 100% is achieved based on configuring the neural network model and varying the extracted feature and EEG channels optimally. A device command translator finally converts these tasks into speech thereby providing the practical usage of this model for real-time BCI application.

Abstract:

This study assesses the alternate-form reliability of the Body Type Dictionary (BTD) for measuring body boundary imagery and primordial thought language in interview-based and web-based Rorschach responses. The intraclass correlation coefficient demonstrated fair to good agreement for barrier imagery, .72, and penetration imagery, .55, which indicates that the web-based administration of the Rorschach inkblot test represents an acceptable alternative to the traditional Rorschach interview assessment for measuring body boundary imagery. Primordial thought language had a fair level of agreement, .43, whereas conceptual thought language had poor agreement, .36. The results are discussed by relating empirical research outlining the mode-specific implications of psychometric test administration to the Rorschach inkblot test and its implications for body boundary awareness and regressive cognitive functioning, as well as by outlining the methodological and clinical limitations of web-based Rorschach application that could be addressed in future research.

Abstract:

Forty-two younger adult college students (ages 17–28) and forty-two older adult college alumni and their spouses (ages 60–82) participated in a two-session study. During the questionnaire session, subjects completed background information, self-ratings of health and activity, and questionnaires related to daydreaming activity and current concerns in the natural environment. During the experimental session, subjects participated in four ten-minute thought-sampling periods consisting of two puzzle and two relaxation periods. The mean number of current concerns reported on questionnaires was higher among younger than older adults. Moreover, younger adults reported engaging in more daydreaming as well as having more visual imagery in those daydreams than older adults. The mean proportions of stimulus-dependent evaluative thoughts and attention-control utterances elicited during thought-sampling were higher among older than younger adults. The mean proportions of evaluative thoughts and attention-control utterances were higher during the two puzzle sessions than during the two relaxation sessions. There were no age differences in stimulus-independent thought or number of designs attempted, although younger adults completed more easy and difficult puzzles than older adults. There were few gender differences in problem-solving stream of consciousness. The results support the efficacy of a multidimensional approach to the definition and assessment of imagery.

Abstract:

Decolonizing debates have the potential to revitalize fashion studies by placing greater emphasis on the way we practise, and the conditions under which we see, hear and speak about fashion imagery. Decolonializing projects and anti-racist activism suggest new methodologies and transformational insights, which are riddled with contradictions and personal vulnerabilities. This article reflects on museums and fashion photography as spaces of decolonial reckoning and paradox. Understanding and coming to terms with positionality, a crucial factor in decolonial praxis, emerges as a continually unfolding process of action and compromise in which the researcher may ultimately ground herself.

Abstract:

Through developing intelligent system of human-like thinking, national defense, economic, education, culture and so on will be impact. Constructing intelligence system of human-like intelligent mainly lies in how to effectively imitate the approach with which human use imagery to cognize. From psychological point of view, the process of cognitive is the transformation process of objects and attributes. Based on this thought, imagery of conceptual network is constructed based on imagery concept and attribute to store the overall planning information of imagery object conceptual. According to imagery conceptual network we build, calculus method imagery of conceptual network based on revision calculus is proposed to guide filling and revision of the nodes of imagery of conceptual network. According to the instance calculus given in the paper can be seen, the calculus method imagery conceptual network can fill and revise the nodes of imagery conceptual network, which can effectively imitate storing imagery and induction imagery of the human brain.

Full text

Abstract:

abstractNatural language syntax has previously been thought to reflect abstract processing rules independent of meaning construction. However, grammatical categories may serve a functional role by allocating attention towards recurrent topics in discourse. Here, we show that listeners incorporate grammatical category into imagery when producing stick figure drawings from heard sentences, supporting the latter view. Participants listened to sentences with transitive verbs that independently varied whether a male or a female character (1) was mentioned first, (2) was the agent or recipient of an action, and (3) was the grammatical subject or object of the sentence. Replicating previous findings, we show that the first named character as well as the agent of the sentence tends to be drawn to the left in the image, probably reflecting left-to-right reading direction. But we also find that the grammatical subject of the sentence has a propensity to be drawn to the left of the object. We interpret this to suggest that grammatical category carries discursive meaning as an attention allocator. Our findings also highlight how language influences processes hitherto thought to be non-linguistic.

Abstract:

The present research tested the effects of failure imagery on the structure of conscious thought. Based on prior research which shows that (a) individuals high in activity inhibition (as measured by the picture-story exercise) tend to suppress negative mood-relevant thought and (b) suppression can be accomplished by shifting to a low level of thinking, it was assumed that failure imagery induces a shift toward low-level thinking in individuals high in activity inhibition. Participants had to imagine either successfully achieving two important goals they were currently pursuing or failing to do so. After the imagination task, they were asked to work on a stream-of-consciousness writing task. Protocols were analyzed for self-reflectivity (operationalized as the frequency of using the pronoun “I”) and awareness of emotions. The lowest level of self-reflectivity was found among individuals high in activity inhibition who imagined a failure of goal pursuit. This result is discussed with respect to the long-term consequences of suppressing negative mood-relevant thought.

Abstract:

Oral imagery was examined in the Rorschach protocols of 60 female subjects, 30 who experienced at least one nightmare per week and 30 who had no more than one nightmare in the past year. Mean number of oral responses did not differ between the groups. In subjects with nightmares, Rorschach orality was significantly related to many personality measures, including state and trait anxiety, Beck Depression Inventory scores, five subscales of a schizotypy inventory, the Rorschach penetration score, and two measures of pathological thinking on the Rorschach. In the 30 subjects without nightmares, the number of significant correlations did not exceed that expected by chance. The results are discussed within the context of empirical and theoretical reports about the links between the oral personality and pathological behavior.

Abstract:

Cognition is not always directed to the events in the here and now and we often self-generate thoughts and images in imagination. Important aspects of these self-generated experiences are associated with various dispositional traits. In this study, we explored whether these psychological associations relate to a common underlying neurocognitive mechanism. We acquired resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from a large cohort of participants and asked them to retrospectively report their experience during the scan. Participants also completed questionnaires reflecting a range of dispositional traits. We found thoughts emphasizing visual imagery at rest were associated with dispositional tendency towards internally directed attention (self-consciousness and attentional problems) and linked to a stronger correlation between a posterior parietal network and a lateral fronto-temporal network. Furthermore, decoupling between the brainstem and a lateral visual network was associated with dispositional internally directed attention. Critically, these brain–cognition associations were related: the correlation between parietal–frontal regions and reports of visual imagery was stronger for individuals with increased connectivity between brainstem and visual cortex. Our results highlight neural mechanisms linked to the dispositional basis for patterns of self-generated thought, and suggest that accounting for dispositional traits is important when exploring the neural substrates of self-generated experience (and vice versa ). This article is part of the theme issue ‘Offline perception: voluntary and spontaneous perceptual experiences without matching external stimulation’.

Abstract:

AbstractAction-based theories of cognition place primary emphasis upon the role that agent-environment coupling plays in the emergence of psychological states. Prima facie, mental imagery seems to present a problem for some of these theories because it is understood to be stimulus-absent and thus thought to be decoupled from the environment. However, mental imagery is much more multifaceted than this “naïve” view suggests. Focusing on a particular kind of imagery, comparative mental imagery generation, this paper demonstrates that although such imagery is stimulus-absent, it is also stimulus-sensitive. Exhibiting stimulus-sensitivity is sufficient for a process to qualify as coupled to the environment. The notion of variant coupling is explicated as the coupling of a cognizer’s perceptual system to variant environmental information. By demarcating the categories of stimulus-absent and stimulus-sensitive cognition, and variant and invariant coupling, this paper expands the conceptual apparatus of action-based theories, suggesting not only a way to address the problem that comparative mental imagery generation presents, but perhaps a way to account for other forms of imagery too.

Abstract:

Hippocampal–medial prefrontal interactions are thought to play a crucial role in mental simulation. Notably, the frontal midline/medial pFC (mPFC) theta rhythm in humans has been linked to introspective thought and working memory. In parallel, theta rhythms have been proposed to coordinate processing in the medial temporal cortex, retrosplenial cortex (RSc), and parietal cortex during the movement of viewpoint in imagery, extending their association with physical movement in rodent models. Here, we used noninvasive whole-head MEG to investigate theta oscillatory power and phase-locking during the 18-sec postencoding delay period of a spatial working memory task, in which participants imagined previously learned object sequences either on a blank background (object maintenance), from a first-person viewpoint in a scene (static imagery), or moving along a path past the objects (dynamic imagery). We found increases in 4- to 7-Hz theta power in mPFC when comparing the delay period with a preencoding baseline. We then examined whether the mPFC theta rhythm was phase-coupled with ongoing theta oscillations elsewhere in the brain. The same mPFC region showed significantly higher theta phase coupling with the posterior medial temporal lobe/RSc for dynamic imagery versus either object maintenance or static imagery. mPFC theta phase coupling was not observed with any other brain region. These results implicate oscillatory coupling between mPFC and medial temporal lobe/RSc theta rhythms in the dynamic mental exploration of imagined scenes.

Abstract:

While studies in Johannine ethics continue to develop through analysis of broad ethical instructions, this paper contributes to the conversation by conveying the belief of participatory victory that seems to inform the ethical instruction of the author of 1 John. That is, in the midst of the cosmic conflict in which John and his fellow believers find themselves, John speaks from the vantage point of one who participates in the victory of Jesus to other participants in that victory. Though there is no explicit statement of this notion of participating in the victory of Jesus, its influential place in the authorial framework is discernible at several points in the text, such as when John uses the terminology and imagery of victory, uses the terminology and imagery of participation, and particularly when he converges these two streams of thought.

Abstract:

A questionnaire was administered to 42 undergraduates to study what they thought about the role of mental images in memorizing, problem-solving, musing, and everyday-life activities. Analysis showed that, according to students' conceptions, imagery is more useful in undirected than in directed thinking and that the efficacy of visual images is rated higher when they are employed to represent mentally concrete than abstract material.

Abstract:

Noopolitics is a neologism that designates how minds (nous) come to think collaboratively at the scale of populations, a phenomenon facilitated by increasingly sophisticated information societies and their capacity for instantaneous electronic communications. Noopolitics complements the already well-established term biopolitics, which designates how the lives and deaths, and general health and well-being of individuals are managed at the scale of populations through practices of governance. What happens when a noopolitics rigidifies, what kinds of effects does it produce? A dogmatic Image of Thought understood as an ossified status quo takes hold, over-determining how people think together and about themselves, and about their worlds, including their local environment-worlds. In relation to an expanded understanding of the spatialities of feeling that architecture contributes to, this essay will focus in particular on the noopolitics at work in the production of architectural imagery where it becomes indistinguishable from real-estate imagery. The compelling case this essay will address is the emergence of the styled real-estate image in the Stockholm context where a large proportion of rental properties have been quite abruptly released onto the real-estate market place over just the last ten years. What is remarkable about the flood of images that have been made available for consumption is their consistency, even their homogeneity, and while Stockholm, with a focus on the inner city island of Södermalm, may prove to be a special case, what is aptly demonstrated through a noourbanography that attempts to map these images is how a dogmatic Image of Thought has taken hold that drives what a local population comes to expect in terms of the curation of their homes and local neighbourhoods.

Abstract:

This is a single case study of obsessional thought disturbance in a currently employed Vietnam veteran who experienced traumatic stress during and subsequent to his tour of duty in Vietnam. It was hypothesized that with the diagnostic indicators present a systematic desensitization model with muscle relaxation, covert imagery, cognitive disputation and self-monitoring would offer relief to the patient's obsessive-compulsive features and allow maintenance of employment. Cognitive disputation, especially with spouse participation addressing the irrational belief system, proved to be a very effective component in the treatment program. The patient learned effective coping skills to guard against future obsessional thought disturbance and has been able to maintain gainful employment.

Abstract:

Two studies investigated the similarity of metronome settings to perceived and imagined familiar songs by subjects unselected for musical ability. In Study 1, mean tempo settings in the two tasks were about 100 beats per minute. Songs with slower perceived tempos tended to be faster in the imagery task and vice versa. In Study 2, subjects set fastest and slowest acceptable tempos for the same set of songs in the imagery mode. These settings were positively correlated with the preferred tempo for the song. Most subjects thought that there were limits on how fast or slow a song could be imagined. These results suggest that tempo is explicitly represented in auditory imagery.

Abstract:

This research is dedicated to the analysis of some verbal phraseological units, in which an object is expressed by the abstract substantive 'thought', from the perspective of motivational-imagery component. The article presents the results of study of the motivational-imagery component in the semantics of a number of verbal phraseological units with the abstract name 'thought', which is based on linguoculturological method developed by V. N. Telia and her supporters and presented in the “Large Phraseological Dictionary of the Russian Language”. The author explores the phraseological units within the framework of Chinese linguoculture for more determining the characteristics the Russian units. For this analysis, the author filtered out the phraseological units contained in the Russian National Corpus (https://ruscorpora.ru/new/), which include the abstract noun ‘thought’ that performs the function of the object of action, and the verbs “come / reach / run into / lead / point. The following conclusions were formulated: 1) the considered phraseological units reflect the metaphorical understanding of thought as a static object that outside the human body, the move towards which is performed by an individual, especially active is in relation to thought; 2) all phraseological units analyzed in the article demonstrate that thought is described as an intellectual product acquired by a human either through targeted mental activity, or influenced by external circumstances; 3) in general, the phraseological units under review act as a stereotypical representation on thought process of a person under the influence of certain external or internal factors.

Abstract:

Most scholarship on the life and thought of Walter Benjamin does not seriously engage the phenomenon of religion or the philosophy of religion in his thought. While some scholarship considers Benjamin a German-Jewish thinker, placed in the company of luminaries such as Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, and Gershom Scholem, most readers assume that Benjamin’s secular identity motivated most of his inquiries and critical thinking. However, focusing on a secular sensibility obscures important elements of religious traditions in Benjamin’s writings. In fact, Benjamin suggested that widely contemporary institutions like capitalism, art, and even at times science contained poignant traces of religion and religious thought. In this article, I examine these traces by revisiting his montage of quotation, which, I argue, is where we see the most salient aspects of the use of Judaism in Benjamin’s thought. His desire to secularize life was inexorably related to his interpretations of experience and of Judaism. I will argue that not only did Benjamin, in fact, use Jewish theological language and imagery through his montage of quotation, but also, he used this method to secularize contemporary theological-political-aesthetic paradigms. I will also argue that this method—primarily understood through his idiosyncratic use of Jewish imagery—is critical to the writing of history.

Abstract:

Speaking, by being a part of the paradigm of linguistic communication, with the help of the emotionally expressive coloring of the word conveys the imagery of human thought. The Kazakh people attached particular importance to oral transmission and intelligible presentation of thought. Therefore, the oral conversational style, nature and oratory of Kazakhs have always been distinguished by originality and artistry. These questions in oral speech are reflected through the word. The article examines the features of the speaking process in theoretical and pragmatic aspects of the word. The main goal is to analyze conceptual and semantic problems aimed at understanding the word as a communicative unit. The actual problems of the speaking process today are the issues of the two-sidedness of the speech act, the ways of communicating thoughts and the use of language norms.

Abstract:

Organizational values, as a subset of organizational culture, provide behavioral guidelines for employees in organizations. This article proposes that metaphorical imagery can heighten the usefulness of corporate values as guideposts for behavior. The concepts which govern thought also govern everyday action. Metaphor can dominate thought by positioning perception, causing individuals to see some things to the exclusion of others. Managerial implications for the implementation of change are noted, and a process for change is suggested.

Abstract:

AbstractBackground:Imagery rescripting (IR) is an effective intervention for social anxiety disorder (SAD) that targets memories of distressing formative events linked to negative self-imagery (NSI). IR is thought to update unhelpful schema by addressing the needs of the younger self within the memory. An accumulating body of evidence indicates that by modifying NSI, IR can significantly affect distressing imagery, memory appraisal, and beliefs about the self.Aims:This systematic review aims to critically evaluate and synthesise literature investigating the existing research on the effects IR has on NSI in SAD.Method:A systematic electronic search of Academic Search Complete, ProQuest, Medline, Scopus and PubMed was performed in February 2021 using pre-defined criteria. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review.Results:Analysis of the reviewed articles’ findings identified three main themes: Changes to negative self-images, Memories linked to images and Encapsulated beliefs. IR was associated with significant decreases in image distress, image vividness, memory vividness, memory distress, and encapsulated beliefs. Although reductions were found with image frequency, they were non-significant. Interpretation of results is limited by the small number of studies.Conclusions:IR appears to effectively alter images, memories and beliefs in SAD in as little as a single session. The findings indicate that IR could be utilised as a cost-effective intervention for SAD. However, additional studies and longer-term follow-ups are needed.
