{"title":"Language in PTSD","authors":"Lea Elias Isen, Kasper Boye","doi":"10.19090/slm.6.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19090/slm.6.7","url":null,"abstract":"This pilot study investigates whether individuals with PTSD (IWPs) – in general and during flashbacks – exhibit linguistic deficits reminiscent of Broca’s aphasia. The study is motivated by research documenting Working Memory (WM) deficits in IWPs as well as lower activity in Broca’s area (BA 44-45) during flashbacks specifically. A novel theory suggests that Broca’s aphasia arises from general resource reductions – likely in WM capacity – prompting more economical language production. If this theory is correct, it predicts a similar response in other groups experiencing resource reductions, e.g. IWPs. In the present study, we analyzed the language of two IWPs and two matched con­trols across three comparisons: (1) IWP in flashback vs. not in flashback, (2) IWP not in flashback vs. control and (3) IWP in flashback vs. control. We found significant differences in terms of variables associated with Broca’s aphasia when IWPs were compared to controls as well as when compared to themselves while not experiencing flashback. The results support the idea of a temporary language deficit during flashback as well as a milder deficit in IWPs in general. The results additionally support the novel theory of Broca’s aphasia in so far as predictions derived from the theory were confirmed.","PeriodicalId":35564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mind and Behavior","volume":"1 6","pages":"29-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"http://slm.ff.uns.ac.rs/index.php/slm/article/download/7/7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stories told in case studies and textbooks often follow a hero narrative, where a manager or organization triumphs against the odds. However, this essay argues the structure of hero narratives removes complexity and disconfirming information, therefore failing to prepare students for workplace realities. I therefore explore possibilities of a form of story first developed in medieval Spain, known as the picaresque, as a pedagogical tool for management education. By comparing and contrasting hero and picaresque stories of Steve Jobs at Pixar Animation, I show how the picaresque presents a nonlinear and fragmented portrait of life in organizations, offering management educators a pedagogical tool for developing critical thinking skills and exploring the complex and ambiguous nature of life in organizations.","PeriodicalId":35564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mind and Behavior","volume":"49 6","pages":"839-867"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147922908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study has empirically explored the relationship between workplace Spirituality and Job Performance with a focus on mediating role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The framework of the study further incorporated and tests the moderating role of Organizational Commitment between Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Job Performance. This quantitative-hypothesis-driven research employs a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 250 employees of the public sector organizations through the convenience sampling technique. The data gathered has been analyzed using statistical tools through regression analysis to test the hypotheses of the study. The results reflect that workplace Spirituality has a positive impact on Job Performance and Organization Citizenship Behavior positively mediates the relationship between workplace Spirituality and Job Performance. This study further proves the moderating role of Organizational Commitment between Organization Citizenship Behavior and Job Performance. Being an extension of previous researches, this study highlights the significance of workplace Spirituality in enhancing Job Performance. Furthermore, human resource management practitioners need to understand, recognize the influence and role of workplace Spirituality, Organization Citizenship Behavior, and Organizational Commitment ineffective functioning of their organizations. As these are the missing links that are expected to exploit and improve the competence and effectiveness and ultimately the performance of the employees and the organization as well.","PeriodicalId":35564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mind and Behavior","volume":"2 2","pages":"97-112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://charisma-jwb.com/index.php/jwb/article/download/83/38","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Snyder","doi":"10.31234/osf.io/8z9p2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/8z9p2","url":null,"abstract":"A straightforward explanation of fundamental tenets of quantum mechanics concerning the wave function results in the thesis that the quantum mechanical wave function is a link between human cognition and the physical world. The reticence on the part of physicists to adopt this thesis is discussed. A comparison is made to the behaviorists’ consideration of mind, and the historical roots of how the problem concerning the quantum mechanical wave function arose are discussed. The basis for an empirical demonstration that the wave function is a link between human cognition and the physical world is provided through developing an experiment using methodology from psychology and physics. Based on research in psychology and physics that relied on this methodology, it is likely that Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen’s theoretical result that mutually exclusive wave functions can simultaneously apply to the same concrete physical circumstances can be implemented on an empirical level.

Bitbol","doi":"10.5860/choice.189379","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5860/choice.189379","url":null,"abstract":"Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy. Evan Thompson. New York: Columbia University Press, 2014, 496 pages, $32.95 hardcover.Consciousness is like no other object of study. In fact, it is no object at all, but rather the precondition for anything to be taken as an object of attention or thought. This unique status makes it ver y unlikely that ordinar y, one-dimensional, objectif ying strategies of research may bring much light to the nature and origin of consciousness (at least if these strategies are used in isolation). Consciousness must be approached from within, at least as much as from without, from the midst of lived experience, at least as much as from an objective scientific vantage point. Consciousness must be apprehended from where it is, not only from where one hopes to contemplate it. Prioritizing this lived, embodied, approach to consciousness is the program of phenomenology, as Edmund Husserl and his lineage defined it. Articulating the lived domain of phenomenology with the scientific study of objective correlates of mental structures, and buttressing the study of one onto the study of the other, is the extended program of neurophenomenology as developed by Francisco Varela. Some philosophers of mind also advocated such a balanced attitude, by prescribing a triangulated approach to consciousness (Flanagan, 1993) or a \"reflective monist\" theory of consciousness (Velmans, 2009). But, unlike neurophenomenologists, they did so shyly since they fell short from prescribing an extensive methodology of first-person inquiry, and adopted a kind of non-committal metaphysical standpoint instead.Evan Thompson makes full use of the neurophenomenological strategy, in his remarkable book Waking, Dreaming, Being : Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy, which will soon be considered a landmark and a tipping point in consciousness investigations. He systematically confronts data from cutting-edge neurocognitive science with various sources of knowledge about the corresponding lived experiences; and he carefully extracts from each one of these approaches the most relevant information to make sense of the other one. True, the best possible neurophenomenological methodology would include experimental control on both sides of the first-person/third-person divide, but even though this requirement is not fulfilled in some of the cases studied by Thompson, his intellectual mastery of the subject is such that he offers a convincing compensation for it.Yet, Thompson's most admirable achievement is probably not this one. It can rather be found in his thorough exploration of a host of so-called \"altered states of consciousness,\" from lucid dreaming to near-death experiences. It can also be found in Thompson's masterly use of texts from the Indo-Tibetan civilizational area, which most valued the methodic culti vation of these states and the study of the corresponding experiences.
