The words come in a rapid, random progression on the computer screen: "POET," "BEACH," "ATTENDANT," "JURY," "CAVE" … there are 15 in all. I’m watching them tick by one by one, slightly panicked that I am going to forget them. The screen goes dark, and I’m now supposed to write down as many of the words as I can quickly recall. I am annoyed when I manage only five words.
Pat Turk says not to worry, that this is fairly typical. Turk is director of business development for Cognitive Drug Research, a British firm that uses automated tests to gauge how well we think. I will be compared on this test and several others with people my age and to those who are younger and older. I have to admit to certain nervousness. The results from their tests are recognized “end points” by the Food and Drug Administration to determine if new brain medications work, which means that the drug industry has billions of dollars in potential revenues riding on them.

Modern cognitive tests originated through the work of James McKeen Cattell who coined the term "mental tests". They followed Francis Galton's development of physical and physiological tests. For example, Galton measured strength of grip and height and weight. He established an "Anthropometric Laboratory" in the 1880s where patrons paid to have physical and physiological attributes measured. Galton's measurements had an enormous influence on psychology. Cattell continued the measurement approach with simple measurements of perception. Cattell's tests were eventually abandoned in favor of the battery test approach developed by Alfred Binet.

External links[edit] Satisficing. Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met.[1] This is contrasted with optimal decision making, an approach that specifically attempts to find the best alternative available. The term satisficing, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice,[2] was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in 1956,[3] although the concept "was first posited in Administrative Behavior, published in 1947.
"[4][5] Simon used satisficing to explain the behavior of decision makers under circumstances in which an optimal solution cannot be determined. In decision-making[edit] In decision making, satisficing explains the tendency to select the first option that meets a given need or select the option that seems to address most needs rather than the “optimal” solution. Example: A task is to sew a patch onto a pair of jeans. Example: A group spends hours projecting the next fiscal year's budget. See also[edit]
U of M : Impulse Control Disorders Clinic. Body-focused repetitive behavior. Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB) is an umbrella name for impulse control[1] behaviors involving compulsively damaging one's physical appearance or causing physical injury.[2] The main BFRB disorders are:[3] Trichotillomania, compulsive hair pullingOnychophagia, compulsive nail bitingDermatillomania, compulsive skin pickingTrichotemnomania, compulsive hair cutting BFRB disorders can also include Dermatophagia (compulsive skin biting), biting the insides of the cheeks, lip picking, blemish squeezing, and Rhinotillexomania (compulsive nose picking).[2] BFRB disorders are not generally considered obsessive-compulsive disorders.[3] Causes[edit] The cause of BFRBs is unknown.
Onset[edit] BFRBs most often begin in late childhood or in the early teens.[2] Prevalence[edit] Treatment[edit] Treatment can include behavior modification therapy, medication, and family therapy.[1][2] See also[edit] References[edit] Notes. Cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including mood, anxiety, personality, eating, substance abuse, tic, and psychotic disorders. Many CBT treatment programs for specific disorders have been evaluated for efficacy; the health-care trend of evidence-based treatment, where specific treatments for symptom-based diagnoses are recommended, has favored CBT over other approaches such as psychodynamic treatments.[3] However, other researchers have questioned the validity of such claims to superiority over other treatments.[4][5] History[edit] Philosophical roots[edit] Precursors of certain fundamental aspects of CBT have been identified in various ancient philosophical traditions, particularly Stoicism.[6] For example, Aaron T.
Behavior therapy roots[edit] At the same time this of Eysenck's work, B.F. The emphasis on behavioral factors constituted the "first wave" of CBT.[15] Cognitive therapy roots[edit] Behavior and Cognitive Therapies Merge[edit] Behavior modification. Description[edit] The first use of the term behavior modification appears to have been by Edward Thorndike in 1911.
His article Provisional Laws of Acquired Behavior or Learning makes frequent use of the term "modifying behavior".[1] Through early research in the 1940s and the 1950s the term was used by Joseph Wolpe's research group.[2] The experimental tradition in clinical psychology[3] used it to refer to psycho-therapeutic techniques derived from empirical research. It has since come to refer mainly to techniques for increasing adaptive behavior through reinforcement and decreasing maladaptive behavior through extinction or punishment (with emphasis on the former). Behavior modification is a form of Behavior therapy now known as Applied behavior analysis. Martin and Pear indicate that there are seven characteristics to behavior modification,[4] They are: Some areas of effectiveness[edit] Behavior modification programs form the core of many residential treatment facility programs. Body dysmorphic disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder (also known as BDD, body dysmorphia, dysmorphic syndrome, or dysmorphophobia), is a disorder that involves belief that one's own appearance is unusually defective and is worthy of being hidden or fixed.[1] This belief manifests in thoughts that many times are pervasive and intrusive.
Besides the main version of BDD, the DSM-I also describes a delusional version of the disorder which can involve delusions of reference, whereby one believes, for instance, that passersby are pointing at the flaw.[1][2] §Symptoms[edit] §Diagnosis[edit] §Treatment[edit] Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is thought to be an effective treatment for BDD.[13][14] A meta-analysis found CBT more effective than medication after 16 weeks of treatment.[15] CBT may improve connections between the orbitofrontal cortex and the amygdala.[16] §History[edit] §Research[edit] §See also[edit] §References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Cororve, Michelle; Gleaves, David (August 2001).
