The psychological investigation of heroism is relatively new. At this stage, inductive methods can shed light on its main aspects. Therefore, we examined the social representations of Hero and Everyday Hero by collecting word associations from two separate representative samples in Hungary. We constructed two networks from these word associations. The results show that the social representation...

It is a pleasure to recommend the second edition of this book. I can only repeat what I have said about the first edition that it represents excellent value for money. I think the authors are to be congratulated on the content and presentation, and their bravery in publishing a book on techniques should not be under-estimated, as virtually every radiologist has an individual approach to each ex...

The fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien has captivated readers for the past five decades, perhaps because it portrays a world so drastically different from our own. Middle-earth is indeed informed by vestiges of an ancient tradition, preserved in the mythologies of different cultures. One very good example of this is Tolkien‟s theory of courage, which he gleaned from Old Norse myth and discussed in his l...

More than 4 years have elapsed since the publication of the Clinical Outcomes Utilizing Revascularization and Aggressive Drug Evaluation (COURAGE) trial,1 which led to rampant speculation regarding its potential impact on clinical practice. As memories of the heated rhetoric that punctuated that debate fade, we are now in a position to look back with calmer heads and use observational data to s...

This paper argues against the complete elimination of logical introduction rules from the pragmatic inference system. To maintain the consistency of the inference system as a whole, which is meant to support one’s truth-based judgment over propositions, the inference system should have access to both introduction and elimination rules. I show that the inclusion of introduction rules in the prag...

Referring expressions with vague and ambiguous modifiers, such as “a quick visit” and “the big meeting,” are difficult for computers to interpret because their words’ meanings are in part defined by context, which changes throughout the course of an interpretation. In this paper, we present an approach to interpreting context-dependent referring expressions that uses dynamic binding. During the...

In a conversation, a speaker sometimes has to refer to an object that is not previously known to the hearer. This type of reference occurs frequently in dialogues where the speaker is giving directions to a particular place. To make a reference, the speaker attempts to build a description of the object that will allow the hearer to identify it when she later reaches it. This thesis presents a c...

Primatological and archeological evidence along with anthropological accounts of hunter-gatherer societies indicate that lethal between-group violence may have been sufficiently frequent during our ancestral past to have shaped our evolved behavioral repertoire. Two simulations explore the possibility that heroism (risking one’s life fighting for the group) evolved as a specialized form of altr...
