Abstract:
Visual comparison between different-sized objects with respect to shape can be done by encoding one of the objects as a mental image, transforming the image to the size format of the other object, and then testing for a match (Bundesen, C., & Larsen, A. [1975]. Visual transformation of size. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1, 214-220). To identify the brain structures implicated in mental transformation of size, we measured the distribution of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by positron emission tomography (PET) in 12 normal subjects who compared random stimulus patterns with respect to shape regardless of variations in size in a one-back match-to-sample paradigm. Each subject was PET-scanned 12 times during repetitive injections of H215O. In one condition (three scans), all stimulus patterns were small. In a second condition (three scans), all stimuli were large. In the third condition (six scans), the stimuli alternated between small and large. Mental transformation of size should occur in the alternating-size condition but not in the fixed-size conditions. As expected, behavioral measures (reaction time [RT], d', β) were nearly the same for the two fixed-size conditions but mean RT was longer and d' smaller in the alternating-size condition. Changes in rCBF specific to mental transformation of size were estimated by contrasting the alternating-size with the fixed-size conditions by use of statistical parametric mapping (SPM96) at a threshold of p < .05 corrected for multiple comparisons. The detected brain structures implicated in mental transformation of size were primarily located in the dorsal pathways, comprising structures in the occipital, parietal, and temporal transition zone (predominantly in the left hemisphere), posterior parietal cortex (bilaterally), area MT/V5 (left), and vermis (bilaterally). Contrasts between the two fixed-size conditions showed significant effects in only the occipital cortex.

Abstract:
Brain regions involved in mental rotation were determined by assessing increases in fMRI activation associated with increases in stimulus rotation during a mirror-normal parity-judgment task with letters and digits. A letter–digit category judgment task was used as a control for orientation-dependent neural processing unrelated to mental rotation per se. Compared to the category judgments, the parity judgments elicited increases in activation in both the dorsal and the ventral visual streams, as well as higher-order premotor areas, inferior frontal gyrus, and anterior insula. Only a subset of these areas, namely, the posterior part of the dorsal intraparietal sulcus, higher-order premotor regions, and the anterior insula showed increased activation as a function of stimulus orientation. Parity judgments elicited greater activation in the right than in the left ventral intraparietal sulcus, but there were no hemispheric differences in orientation-dependent activation, suggesting that neither hemisphere is dominant for mental rotation per se. Hemispheric asymmetries associated with parity-judgment tasks may reflect visuospatial processing other than mental rotation itself, which is subserved by a bilateral fronto-parietal network, rather than regions restricted to the posterior parietal.

Abstract:
There has been a call for research that investigates the adaptive attachment styles of young people who enter into the criminal justice system (Casswell et al., 2012) as a means to understand their problematic behaviour and risk to mental health issues. There has also been a call for further measures of attachment working models (Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000) but little investigation into how to operationalise this. This study was a cross-sectional within-participants design that examined the reliability of using a mental simulation task (Huddy et al., 2012) to explore individual differences in attachment styles, as measured by the Psychosis Attachment Measure (PAM; Berry et al., 2006) in a young male offender population (n=55) who were incarcerated. Negative life events from infancy to young adulthood have been shown to increase the likelihood of individuals developing and maintaining an insecure attachment pattern (Hamilton, 2000) as well as increasing the likelihood of an individual attachment pattern changing from a secure to an insecure style (Waters, Weinfield & Hamilton, 2000). As such, participants’ experience of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) was also explored as a means to triangulate the findings on the PAM and mental simulation task. To our knowledge, this was the first time these factors have been examined together in this population. Non-parametric correlations revealed a significant relationship between attachment anxiety, but not attachment avoidance, and both negative and positive intent. No relationship was found between distress ratings and either attachment anxiety or avoidance. Higher incidents of ACEs was found to be associated to attachment avoidance and to negative intent ratings but not to attachment anxiety. The results do not support the use of the mental simulation task as a measure of internal working models of attachment; limitations of the study and its implications in relation to attachment theory and clinical work with young offenders are discussed.

Abstract:
Psychiatric inpatient services provide important care for individuals with serious mental health problems. Studies show that passivity and social disengagement prevail in inpatient settings, and the transition to outpatient care is associated with increased suicide risk. Behavioural Activation is an intervention that targets depression by increasing personally meaningful activities. Preliminary research shows that Behavioural Activation can be used in inpatient settings. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of Behavioural Activation for individuals in psychiatric inpatient settings, and in the transition between inpatient and outpatient care. Study I investigated inpatient activities and associated experiences. Study II was a pilot single-case experimental study of the feasibility and effectiveness of inpatient Behavioural Activation. Study III, was an interrupted time series evaluation of nursing-adapted Behavioural Activation across three wards. In Study IV Behavioural Activation in the transition from inpatient to outpatient care was compared to Supportive Therapy in a randomised controlled trial with 64 participants. The primary outcome was that of self-reported depressive symptoms and participants were followed up 12 months after treatment completion. Doing nothing was the most common inpatient activity, along with meal related activities. Passive and solitary activities were associated with negative distress and reward profiles. The preliminary evaluation of Behavioural Activation found high patient and staff satisfaction, and four of six participants showed improvement in depressive symptoms and functioning. After nursing-adapted Behavioural Activation was implemented on three wards, engagement increased. Avoidance decreased but later returned to baseline levels. Depressive symptoms and global clinical severity did not improve after nursing-adapted Behavioural Activations was introduced. The randomised controlled trial found that adding Behavioural Activation in the transition to outpatient care had a small, short-term, advantage over Supportive Therapy for self-reported depression. In conclusion, inpatient disengagement is associated with distress, and Behavioural Activation is a feasible intervention in inpatient settings that can be used by both trained therapists and nursing staff to increase patients’ treatment engagement. Behavioural Activation seems useful in targeting depressive symptoms in the transition from inpatient to outpatient care, a period associated with increased risk of suicide and clinical deterioration.

Abstract:
Eco-driving has the potential to reduce fuel consumption and therefore emissions considerably. Previous research suggests that drivers already possess a certain level of eco-driving capability, which they do not practise in their everyday lives. The studies reported in this thesis are based on a mental models approach, which enabled an in-depth exploration of eco-driving knowledge and skills and broadened the understanding of the underlying cognitive mechanisms. This thesis describes two driving simulator experiments aiming to measure, activate and ultimately interrupt eco-driving mental models in a variety of scenarios, relevant for safe and eco-driving. The studies used simple driving task instructions, text message interventions as well as a workload task. Changes in the participants’ behaviour and thoughts were analysed with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The results suggest that drivers have mental models of eco-driving on several levels, ranging from knowledge and strategies to tactics in specific situations to automated behaviour. However, in the first experiment they did not use them when they were instructed to ‘Drive normally’. In the second study text message primes and advice provided over two weeks were not able to replicate the effect of experimental instructions given directly before driving. Behavioural changes following these instructions were abandoned when performing a workload task, and not resumed afterwards. Future research needs to consider alternative methods to prompt drivers to use their existing eco-driving knowledge and skills. Studies with a larger number of participants, and in real-world settings can then validate findings. It is suggested to expand the mental models approach into other fields such as sustainable transport in general.

The present study aims at examining the correlation among different brain areas while the subjects performed an arithmetical task, and how these differ from the mental relations in the same subjects during a resting state. In order to this, both linear and nonlinear methods were used, i.e., both algorithms capable of detecting linear relations and algorithms capable of detecting correlations without assuming any type of parametric relationship between the signals were implemented. The first algorithm that was implemented was the cross-correlation function, which gives an estimate of how much two signals are linearly correlated, and estimates the delay between them, thus permitting to make inferences on causality. Furthermore, this algorithm was validated using the statistic method called surrogation, in order to test for the applicability of the algorithm on the signals that were to be processed. The next part of the study consisted on implementing two analogous algorithms, the coefficient of determination and the nonlinear regression coefficient. These coefficients both measure the fraction of reduction of variance that can be obtained by estimating the relationship between two signals according to a fitted line, the difference being that the former assumes a linear relation between both sets of samples and the latter doesn‟t previously assume any type of relationship between the signals. The main differences in correlation that were observed between the state of mental rest and between the arithmetic task performance were that in the former more brain sites were correlated, whereas during the task this synchrony was mainly verified between frontal and parietal areas, showing a decrease in the other locations. Furthermore, the estimates provided by the linear and nonlinear algorithms were very similar, suggesting that in this case the relationships among different neural networks were mainly linear, and thus validating the application of linear methods in this type of analysis in particular cases. Regarding the estimation of delays between signals and inferences on causality, no conclusive results were attained.

Abstract:
The area of cognitive research that has produced the most consistent sex differences is the area of spatial ability. Particularly, males usually perform better on mental rotation tasks than do females. One argument for these differences is that experience with spatial activity drives these differences, such that traditionally more masculine activities require more practice of spatial abilities. Another argument is biological in nature, such that there is either 1) a critical period of development that leads to differential lateralization of the brain, or 2) differential activation of the brain by circulating hormones. Performance on mental rotation tasks has been associated with right parietal activation levels, both during task performance and prior to performance during baseline recordings. The present study examined the relations among sex, age, EEG hemispheric activation (at the 10.5-13.5Hz. frequency band), and 2-dimensional mental rotation task ability. Nineteen eight-year-olds (10 boys) and 20 college students (10 men), had EEG recorded at baseline and while performing a mental rotation task. Men performed better on the mental rotation task than women, while there were no differences between boys and girls. After covarying for baseline EEG high alpha power values, EEG results during the mental rotation task indicated an interaction, with men exhibiting more activation (lower EEG power values at 10.5-13.5Hz) than women in the parietal and posterior temporal regions, while boys' and girls' power values 10.5-13.5Hz did not differ in the parietal or posterior temporal regions. Furthermore, during the baseline condition, men generally exhibited more activation (lower EEG power values at 10.5-13.5Hz) throughout all regions of the scalp. Results support the hypothesis that hormones, or hormonal influence, may result in a biological change which affects both brain activation and performance on mental rotation tasks.

Abstract:
Our gut microbiota is involved in human development, nutrition, and the pathogenesis of gut disorders, but has more recently been implicated as a possible mechanism in the pathophysiology of several brain disorders, including disorders of mood and affect, such as depression. Researchers have referred to this dynamic, bidirectional signaling pathway between the gut and the brain as the “gut-brain axis.” However, most research on this axis has been limited to rodent studies, and there has been little insight into the mechanism behind it. I propose that the kynurenine pathway, where tryptophan is converted to kynurenine, is a compelling mechanism mediating the gut microbiota’s influence on depression. Kynurenine is a metabolite associated with depression, and this pathway has been shown to be manipulated through probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) consumption. I propose to study a probiotic intervention in humans, which would assess tryptophan metabolism along the kynurenine pathway by measuring metabolites downstream of this pathway. Urine, feces and blood samples would be collected from two groups, control and probiotic treatment, on day zero and day thirty. Colonic biopsies would be obtained on day thirty, and various analyses would be run to measure metabolite concentrations from the collected samples. The results from this study will help clarify a mechanistic connection between gut microbes and depression via the kynurenine pathway. Additionally, findings could indicate that a probiotic intervention has the ability to influence depressive behavior via a two-pronged approach originating from the kynurenine pathway.

Abstract:
The authors are developing a hybrid walking rehabilitation system to realize the early recovery of walking ability, which includes both active movement training using walking rehabilitation machines and neurorehabilitation using mental imaginary of walking. In this study, the authors compared the activation of the motor area during real walking (RW), virtual walking (VW), and walking observation (WO) using fNIRS (functional Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy). VW was a first-person perspective imagery in which the subjects were shown moving scenes and imagined that they were actually walking in the scenes. WO was a third-person perspective imagery in which the subjects were instructed to imagine that they were walking at the same pace as the person in the video being shown to the subjects. Based on four subjects, results showed that the oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) in the motor area during both the VW and WO were on average higher than during the RW. This might be because it was not necessary to pay attention to the movements of the legs and feet during normal walking, whereas movement planning was required when the subjects imagined that they were walking similar to another person. There was no significant difference between the oxy-Hb during the VW and the WO. The importance of the stimulus diversity in the mental imagery of walking was suggested.

Abstract:
Over the last century, life expectancy has improved significantly in the United States—from 47 years for men and 49 years for women in 1900 to 76 years and 81 years, respectively, in 2017. Older people have altered mental function that can vary from subtle cognitive changes to dementia. Additionally in elderly patients cognitive function seems to worsen after a medical illness, hospital admission or major surgery. The cognitive neuroscience of aging is an emerging field of research. Clinically, older patients can show alteration in working memory, executive function, multitasking, speed of response, etc. Anatomically, age-related changes in the brain are primarily in the frontal lobe. However, in neuropathological diseases affecting cognition in elderly (Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, etc.), the changes are primarily in the temporal lobe. fMRI activation studies have revealed consistent changes in activation pattern with age. In younger persons, many activation-induced responses are lateralized—verbal activation is lateralized to the left and spatial memory activation is right lateralized. In the elderly, these activations induce a bilateral response. This is an age-related compensatory response. fMRI connectivity studies give a global perspective on mental function. The default mode network (DMN) is active in the resting “no task” state of the brain; with a task, activity decreases in the DMN. The elderly have less resting DMN activity than younger people, and their ability to decrease DMN activity during a task (which is essential for shifting attention and focusing on a task) is also less.

Abstract:
A vast majority of novices in universities predominantly utilize algorithmic mental processes to resolve assigned tasks and tests. Although algorithmic thinking is an essential part of human cognitive functions, experts on didactics call for methods, which develop also conceptual thinking in beginners. Currently, heuristic molecular modeling gains an important position in chemistry education since it inherently integrates several conceptual thinking principles. Herein, it is focused on computational analysis of eight potential immunomodulators prepared by Diels-Alder reactions to exemplify conceptualized chemistry learning. Keywords: conceptual learning, diels-alder cycloadditions, molecular modeling, RM1, activation energy.
