Putting the lie on the control condition for moral responsibility

In “Control, Responsibility, and Moral Assessment” Angela Smith defends her nonvoluntarist theory of moral responsibility against the charge that any such view is shallow because it cannot capture the depth of judgments of responsibility. Only voluntarist positions can do this since only voluntarist positions allow for control. I argue that Smith is able to deflect the voluntarists’ criticism, but only with further resources. As a voluntarist, I also concede that Smith’s thesis has force, and I close with a compromise position, one that allows for direct moral responsibility for the nonvoluntary, but also incorporates a reasonable control condition.

整字、部件与笔画对笔画构成汉字的影响

该研究采用笔画构成汉字的实验范式,利用整字、部件、笔画作为启动材料考查了笔画构成汉字过程中整体与部分之间的关系。实验中要求被试用给出的笔画组（四划或五划）构成汉字,并且判断笔画组是否能够构成一个真实的汉字。结果发现整字在笔画构成汉字的实验过程中起到最为关键的作用。其次是笔画存在着明显的启动效应,部件的启动效应最弱。结论：在笔画构成汉字的过程中,主要以整字加工为主,笔画加工也起到了重要作用。     

不同阅读形式下拼音对儿童汉字学习和阅读动机的长期影响

本研究以176名一年级小学生为研究对象,通过为期一年的教学实验研究,探讨了在分享阅读和独立阅读条件下,拼音对儿童汉字学习和阅读动机的影响。结果发现:(1)在分享阅读条件下,学生的汉字学习效果不受阅读材料注音方式的影响;在独立阅读条件下,拼音能促进中低能力儿童的汉字学习。(2)分享阅读组儿童的阅读动机高于独立阅读组;长期阅读全文注音材料的儿童,其阅读效能感明显低于阅读无拼音材料的儿童。     

Creating Character: Aristotle on Habituation,the Cognitive Power of Emotion,and the Role of Prudence

For Aristotle creating a virtuous character means habituating a stable emotional state or disposition (hexis), which enables the agent to feel and act rightly, and to have the intellectual virtue prudence (phronēsis) complete this habituation. But because feeling or emotion (pathos) is a passive state, it is not clear in what way we can make ourselves be affected correctly. This paper tries to solve this apparent difficulty by emphasizing the cognitive power of emotion. It also examines the role of prudence in the acquisition of ethical virtue, supporting an anti-intellectualist understanding of practical motivation.     

文盲与非文盲汉字字形和语音加工的脑机制

利用功能性磁共振成像(fMRI)技术探讨文盲和非文盲汉字字形和语音加工脑机制的差异。实验1使用汉字字形和图形比较了中国人文盲和非文盲字形加工过程脑机制的左侧差异。实验2使用汉字语音和纯音比较了文盲和非文盲语音加工过程脑机制的双侧差异。结果表明文盲与非文盲汉字字形和语音加工脑机制不同,且非文盲的脑活动强。     

低频汉字词语的反知觉干扰效应

为了考察记忆的知觉干扰效应机制,实验采用“学习-测验”范式,探索了在不同程度视觉干扰条件下,再认测验里低频汉字及双字词的记忆成绩。结果发现：（1）在对低频汉字的记忆中,知觉干扰条件引起了“反知觉干扰效应”,知觉干扰条件削弱了对汉字的记忆;（2）低频双字词不存在记忆的“反知觉干扰效应”。结果可以解释为,记忆的知觉干扰效应反映语音加工优势。     

脑神经系统的非线性动力学特征及方法论

脑神经系统的非线性动力学特征是:它具有非线性、混沌性、突变性、自组织性及不可逆性等.脑神经系统是人类生命的中枢系统,这个系统是一个非线性动力学的复杂系统,由一个远离平衡态的耗散结构,综合构成了脑神经系统的整体性、复杂性.从方法论的角度对脑神经系统的整体性、复杂性进行了思考,并提供了一个方法论的理论框架,及具体的技术方法.     

视角对高频汉字识别的影响

用EyeLinkII型眼动仪为实验设备 ,以汉字与双眼形成的视角为自变量 ,研究了视角对高频汉字识别的影响特点。本实验中的视角分为 7个水平 :2°、4°、7°、1 0°、1 3°、1 6°、1 9° ,通过自编程序 ,计算出固定距离条件中不同视角下汉字的大小 ,呈现在计算机屏幕上 ,要求被试发声识别汉字。通过对反应时、注视时间、注视次数、眼跳时间、眼跳次数、眨眼时间、眨眼次数的分析。结果发现 :不同视角条件下的反应时总体差异不显著 ,反应时随视角的变化曲线为抛物线 ,开口向上 ;汉字识别的最适宜视角为 1 0°～ 1 1°。     

Use of the ABA fear renewal paradigm to assess the effects of extinction with co-present fear inhibitors or excitors: Implications for theories of extinction and for treating human fears and phobias

In four experiments using albino rats in an ABA fear renewal paradigm, we studied conditioned fear in the A test context following extinction in Context B. Conditioned suppression of operant responding was the index of fear. In Experiments 1-3, we found that extinguishing a feared cue in compound with a putative conditioned inhibitor of fear led to more fear in the test context than did a conventional extinction procedure. In Experiments 4a and 4b, we found that extinguishing three feared cues in compound required one third the time and generally led to less fear to the cues in the test context than did the extinction of each cue separately. Thus, fear in the test context seems to vary inversely with the values of co-present cues during extinction in Context B. Results imply that cue value is actually reduced by extinction procedures rather than merely being opposed by a growing inhibitory process. Implications for theories of renewal and for clinical practice are discussed.     

大学生性格优势对主观幸福感的影响:优势运用和压力性生活事件的作用

采用整群抽样法对重庆市和河南省某两所大学800名大一至大三年级学生进行问卷调查,建立结构方程,考察性格优势、优势运用、压力性生活事件和主观幸福感的关系。结果发现：（1）优势运用在性格优势和主观幸福感之间起部分中介作用,即性格优势既对主观幸福感产生直接影响,也通过优势运用对主观幸福感产生间接影响;（2）压力性生活事件调节优势运用的中介作用,即优势运用对主观幸福感的影响随着个体所体验到的压力性生活事件的增加而提升;优势运用对主观幸福感起着有调节的中介作用。
