Mentalization is defined as the human capacity to reflect upon one's own or others’ behaviors in terms of underlying mental states and intentions. Several concepts mentalizing exist, which differ content, assessment, clinical prediction. The present study examines relationship between three main mentalizing, namely, reflective functioning (RF), parental (PRF), Mind-Mindedness (MM), mothers with...

Although the Kalman filter (KF) is widely used in practice, its estimated results are optimal only when the system model is linear and the noise characteristics of the system are already exactly known. However, it is extremely difficult to satisfy such requirement since the uncertainty caused by the inertial instrument and the external environment, for instance, in the aided inertial navigation...

One of the most distinctive characteristics of humans is our capacity to learn from what other people tell us. Often new information is provided about an entity that is not present, requiring incorporation of that information into one’s mental representation of the absent object. Here we present evidence regarding the emergence of this vital ability. Nineteenand 22-month-old infants first learn...

The article begins with a discussion about what might constitute consciousness in entities other than oneself and the implications of the mind–brain debate for the possibility of a conscious machine. While referring to several other facets of the philosophy of mind, the author focuses on epiphenomenalism and interactionism and presents a critique of the former in terms of biological evolution. ...

When sequences of discrete events, or other units, are independently coded by two coders using a set of mutually exclusive and exhaustive codes, but onset times are not preserved, it is often unclear how pairs of protocols should be aligned, yet such alignment is required before Cohen’s kappa, a common agreement statistic, can be computed. We describe a method—based on the Needleman and Wunsch ...

Ironic utterances promise an expected meaning that never arrives, and deliver instead a meaning that exposes the failure of our expectations. Though they can appear contextually inappropriate, ironic statements succeed when they subvert their context of use, so it is the context rather than the utterance that is shown to be incongruous. Every ironic statement thus poses two related questions: t...

A review of the most prominent late nineteenth century evolutionist writings, focusing on Charles Darwin, reveals that a major plank of evolution theory was the belief of intellectual and physical inferiority of women. This belief resulted from a logical deduction of the natural selection world view: men were exposed to far greater selective pressures than women, especially in war and competiti...

The construct of motivational readiness is introduced and explored. Motivational readiness is the willingness or inclination, whether or not ultimately realized, to act in the service of a desire. Building on prior relevant conceptions which include, among others, animal learning models (Hull, 1943; Spence, 1956; Tolman, 1955), and personality approaches (e.g., Atkinson, 1964; Lewin, 1935), a g...

22 The development of a successful vaccine against HIV-1 likely requires 23 immunogens that elicit both broadly neutralizing antibodies against envelope 24 spikes and T cell responses that recognize multiple viral proteins. HIV-1 virus like 25 particles (VLP), because they display authentic envelope spikes on the particle 26 surface, may be developed into such immunogens. However, in one way or...
