The paper is based on a memorial talk held at the 2011 annual meeting of the Hungarian Psychological Association. The paper starts from the situation two generations ago and tries to characterize the methodological development since, and the central role of experimental psychology in this development towards sophistication and Westernization. This is followed by some institutional and substantial comments on the present day Hungarian experimental psychology, and the consequences thereof towards the general quality of psychology in Hungary.

This article is an attempt to show the richness of the phenomenon of storytelling as a narrative processed by deep brain structures due to the content conveyed in a fictional way, in the form of a story that gives the message more distinctive and persuasive power. Since information processing is a key phase in the process of gathering information and indirectly remembering it, both cognitive processes will also be characterized in terms of their acceleration by adapting the guidelines of neuroscience to create brain-friendly content. When explaining the mechanism behind the effectiveness of storytelling, two clues should be indicated. The first one refers to neuropsychology and the second to the discoveries of cognitive psychology, especially research on the properties of cognitive patterns and some theories of persuasion. In this article, the author will follow the first of the two indicated leads.

We come prepared to track events and objects, building our knowledge base while foraging for coherence. Classical pragmatism recognizes that the acquisition of knowledge is in part a contact sport (e.g. Peirce, Dewey). One of the aims of neuroscience is to capture human experience. One route to perhaps achieve this may be through the study of the visual system and its expansion in our evolutionary history. Embodied cephalic systems, as Dewey knew well, are tied to self-corrective inquiry. A philosophy of neuroscience needs to capture how such events are tracked, tested through experience, and subsequently modified in the brain to comprise a knowledge base.

Recently we are facing increasing application of neuroscience in law, however limited to criminal law and crime detection. The idea to implement neuroscience to trademark protection law is quite new and unexplored. There are however experiments that can make us see the problem in a different light. One of them certainly is Morrin/Jacoby experiment which points out how familiar trademarks can confuse consumers brain. Results of this experiment show that judge’s decision can be enriched with the idea of dilution. In connection with the above it seems understandable that pure idea of infringement ceases to be enough. Consequently, a trademark can be both infringed and diluted. Dilution is defined as an unconscious process which occurs when two or more marks use remarkably like logos, or have very similar names. Shall dilution be applied in law? It seems quite an interesting idea, yet it would lead to extreme inflation of law. Moreover, its theoretical bases are quite frail. Taking all the above mentioned doubts it seems reasonable to be reserved about such concepts.

Neuroaesthetics is an interdisciplinary science linking together research in the areas of philosophy, psychology, the history of art, and neuroscience. It is an element within the tendency towards embracing an experimental approach to aesthetics that emerged in the 19th century, and as such constitutes one of the oldest branches of experimental psychology. Those who work in this field are primarily concerned with the following: (a) the influence of neurological damage on changes in artistic creativity, (b) conducting quan titative research and experimentation in the realm of aesthetics, (c) making parallel observations about any relations of dependency that might hold between neuronal states and aesthetic experience. In the article below we mainly consider the last of these. The basic assumptions of classical experimental aesthetics, together with its connections with neuroscience, are first of all briefly presented. Then we outline the general characteristics of the theories of Semir Zeki and Vilayanur Ramachandran, the pioneers of neuroaesthetic research. Following on from this, we undertake a critical analysis of the theories presented, with respect to the adequacy of their way of construing aesthetic experience. We focus on methodological issues essential to the pursuit of neuroaesthetic research.

Deficiencies in economic paradigm tend to look for the alternative solutions. An important problem with this regard is the decision making process which is the essence of management. The achievements of modern science, particularly natural, unambiguously confirms that the decisions are quite often taken outside knowingly and situationally. This disproves the assertion of free will in taking decisions.

The scale of the cyberbullying problem is big and disturbing. Attempts are being made to eliminate and reduce this issue by seeking effective preventive solutions. Based on her analysis of the literature on mindfulness, the author points to the enormous potential of mindfulness-based programs in preventing cyberbullying threats. Numerous studies confirm that the practice of mindfulness is an effective program in the fight against stress, pain, and even illness; it improves mental and physical well-being. Mindfulness practitioners become more compassionate, milder, empathetic, they cope better with difficult situations, use positive thinking and behavior patterns, achieve calmness and confidence, and make positive changes in interpersonal relationships.

There is evidence that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with linguistic difficulties. However, the pathophysiology underlying these difficulties is yet to be determined. This study investigates functional abnormalities in Broca’s area, which is associated with speech production and processing, in adolescents with ADHD by means of resting-state fMRI. Data for the study was taken from the ADHD-200 project and included 267 ADHD patients (109 with combined inattentive/hyperactive subtype and 158 with inattentive subtype) and 478 typically-developing control (TDC) subjects. An analysis of fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), which reflects spontaneous neural activity, in Broca’s area (Brodmann Areas 44/45) was performed on the data and the results were compared statistically across the participant groups. fALFF was found to be significantly lower in the ADHD inattentive group as compared to TDC in BA 44, and in the ADHD combined group as compared to TDC in BA 45. The results suggest that there are functional abnormalities in Broca’s area with people suffering from ADHD, and that the localization of these abnormalities might be connected to particular language deficits associated with ADHD subtypes, which we discuss in the article. The findings might help explore the underlying causes of specific language difficulties in ADHD.

In this paper, the fact that there is no or little history in neuroethics is briefly considered. An open list of reasons explaining this fact is proposed as well as an open list of authors sensitive to history who adopt a critical attitude towards some bold claims expressed by a number of neuroethicists. These reflections are intended to make a humble case for more history in neuroethics.

The article describes some of the reasons why today in Italy, pedagogy and the Montessori method arise interest both in the academic context as well as among families. In the last century, at the beginning of the nineties, in the academic context, there was a more objective research of historiography on the human and intellectual experience of the Italian pedagogue that brought to the overcoming of the reconstruction through anecdotes. Nowadays families choose the Montessori method because they are looking for a school in which the specificity of each child is respected: the child is considered in the entirety of his person and not only as a pupil. Parents are searching for a school where interest is stirred up and knowledge is the result of a free personal discovery rather than the repetition of a learning already prepared. A democratic school that is neither authoritative nor competitive. The renewed interest for the Montessori method is also supported by the fact that some of its fundamental principles are confirmed by contemporary psychology. For instance, from present researches it emerges that more freedom and more choice, carried out in a prepared educational environment, contribute to better results in learning. Also neurosciences point out that there is a complete harmony between the way the brain represents numbers and the materials proposed by Montessori for the learning of maths.

This article analyses some of the most significant aspects of the exploratory adventure around the physiology of consciousness which the Polish writer Stanisław Lem provides in his science-fiction novels and essays. It is argued that the onto-epistemological and ethical problems associated with the complex mind-brain relationship, the sophisticated medical intervention devices that involve neuronal communication, and the challenges that humankind faces in view of the physical and intellectual evolutionary advance largely determine Lem’s perspective, which is shown to lie between fantastic inventiveness and plausible foresight.

The latest developments in neuroscience concern not only education but also other disciplines, i.e. psychology and philosophy. Interest in neuroscience in Poland is only beginning. The article deals with thought processes in the context of language teaching in school. We will find in it examples of good practices of employing exercises to improve working memory. The author lists the main factors which determine the normal functioning of the brain. The protracted digitisation of Polish schools may turn out to be beneficial for the future generations, for, as the latest research indicates, multitasking among teenagers causes irreversible changes in their brains.

In the 40 years since its first promulgation, contemporary eliminativism about intentional content has secured considerable additional support in the form of both neuroscientific findings and an absence of significant counter-evidence within the now greatly expanded study of the brain and its components. This paper reports some of the most telling of these results. Three serious is sues remain to be dealt with by philosophical proponents of eliminativism: claims that neuroscience's frequent use of the word “representation” requires or presupposes that neural circuitry actually carries such content, claims that the phenomenology of first-person introspection reveals the undeniable existence of intentional content, and arguments to the effect that eliminativism is self-refuting, contradictory or pragmatically paradoxical, owing to its claim that there are no true assertions. This paper addresses these three argu ments against eliminativism.

Punktem wyjścia do dyskusji na temat ewentualnej osobliwości badań naukowych prowadzonych przez psychologów w Polsce oraz kwestii publikowania przez nich prac w rodzimym języku jest otwierający niniejszy numer Roczników Psychologicznych artykuł Jerzego M. Brzezińskiego „O tym, co ważne, gdy myślimy o psychologii w Polsce". Zgadzając się z Autorem uważam, że badania psychologiczne, w odróżnieniu od praktyki psychologicznej, mają charakter globalny, przez co mówienie tu o osobliwości polskich badań nie ma specjalnego sensu, zwłaszcza w przypadku szeroko rozumianej neuronauki. Popieram także wyrażoną przez Brzezińskiego opinię, że oprócz publikowania wyników naszych prac w czasopismach anglojęzycznych winniśmy także opracowywać książki i artykuły w języku polskim. Prezentuję jednak stanowisko, że prace te powinny mieć przede wszystkim status podręczników akademickich i artykułów poglądowych, pisanych przez psychologów z bogatym dorobkiem naukowym, nie zaś studentów czy doktorantów.

Jerzy Brzeziński's article "On What Is Important When We Think of Psychology in Poland," opening this issue of Annals of Psychology, has served as background for the discussion on the potential idiosyncrasy of research conducted by psychologists in Poland as well as on the issue of publishing their scientific works in Polish. I agree with the Author that psychological research, in contrast to psychological practice, has a global character. Thus, speaking about any Polish specificity in this regard seems meaningless, especially when it comes to broadly considered neuroscience. I also agree with the opinion expressed by Jerzy Brzeziński that, in addition to publishing our research results in English, we should additionally write books and scientific articles in Polish. Nonetheless, I believe such works should rather have the status of academic textbooks or review articles, predominantly written by experienced researchers, not by graduate or Ph.D. students.

Aim. The primary aim of this paper is to present and discuss the Apple-Tree Model of Emotion-Involved Processing in the context of foreign language learning with regard to didactic, neuroscientific, and psychological viewpoints. The proposed model mirrors theories which emphasize the role of emotional experiencing in the process of learning and relate it to the enhancement of cognitive processes. The secondary aim of this paper is to propose examples of application of these theories and recent research findings – with the use of videos in foreign language learning both inside and outside of the classes. Methods. Along with several others, two studies (an action research and experiment), dealing with the role of emotional engagement and positive emotional stimuli, are discussed in more detail. Concerning the action research (Kamenická & Kováčiková, 2019), the subjects of this study were 31 non-native teenage secondary grammar school EFL learners (i.e., 17-18 years old). In this study, the role of emotional engagement in foreign language learning was observed – with regard to learners of various learning styles. Concerning the experiment (Kráľová, Kamenická, & Tirpáková, submitted for publication), it provided both quantitative and qualitative data. Its subjects were 82 non-native first-year university EFL students (i.e., 18-19 years old). The effect of application of positive emotional stimuli during the foreign language classes was observed – with regard to research participants’ vocabulary retention, emotional experiencing, and their autonomic stress response. The qualitative data gathered dealt with research participants’ subjective perception of emotionally competent stimuli applied, vocabulary recall, and experimental classes as such. Results. The analysis of the qualitative data suggests that emotional engagement leads to better motivation to learn among learners, including the reluctant ones. Moreover, the research outcomes suggest that emotionally competent stimuli might be considered as a universal key, when it comes to engagement of learners of various learning styles. Furthermore, the qualitative data analysis also indicates that learners especially appreciate learning the foreign language through topics which are not usually part of school curriculum. The statistical data analysis indicates that positive emotional experiences lead to the increase of both foreign language enjoyment and learners’ foreign language vocabulary retention. Conclusions. The research findings suggest that positive emotional stimulation of FL learners might lead to their increased motivation for learning as well as to better retention of new language items. Furthermore, they also confirm the significant role of the teacher in terms of regulation and responsibility for the learning atmosphere. As nowadays, the FL learning does not take place in classes only, the teachers’ managerial guidance and direction of learners becomes essential more than ever. With regard to these findings, several ideas how to guide learners’ FL learning both inside and outside of class, are proposed – with the use of videos, which are staggeringly omnipresent in everyday lives of nowadays’ society.

The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying opportunities for the application of EEG biofeedback therapy and neural therapy in children with mental disability and brain damage. The study was conducted by measuring the effects and functional changes after the intervention of neural therapy for 10 months as a pre-test and final test at the two children. To measure were used: Wechsler intelligence tests – WISC III, consisting of verbal and nonverbal parts, Meili intelligence tests, registration of observations aimed at identifying deficiencies in the partial functions of Brigitte Sindelar, and Test “Draw a man”. We also use estimates of the parents of these children who were to evaluate changes in the behavior of their children with the help of the Conners scale – questionnaire for parents and questionnaires for parents to EEG biofeedback therapy. Based on the evaluation results of the above tests it is stated that both clients had positive changes in the above subtests, focused on the identification of the individual components of sensory motor skills. In the Wechsler scale of intelligence for children – WISC III they showed improvement in five subtests. In the Meili intelligence test there was noted a positive change in both parts of the test, namely, in visual and in auditory memory. In the test on the detection of deficits in partial functions of Brigitte Sindelar came positive changes, both in visual and in auditory areas. In the Test “Draw a man” (Goodenough-Harris Drawing test) marked improvement in the substantial part of the test and the coordination of sensory motor skills. However, it should be noted that during neurotherapeutic sessions for these clients was provided appropriate comprehensive care that helps to improve general state and work of probands in their lives that undoubtedly, could contribute to the described positive changes. Based on our obtained data, we observe that the use of EEG-biofeedback therapy can be used to a much greater extent than it has so far been applied in practice. Present possibilities of using EEG-biofeedback therapy are focused primarily on the area of hyperactivity, impulsivity or attention. Our study suggests a new application of this therapy in special education. The contribution presents partial results of the projectVEGA 1/0789/14

Cognitive science and its philosophy have been far too long consumed with representation. This concern is indicative of a creeping Cartesianism that many scientists and philosophers wish to evade. However, their naturalism is often insufficiently evolutionary to fully appreciate the lessons of pragmatism. If cognitive neuroscience and pragmatism are to be mutually beneficial, the representational-friendly scientists and the anti-representational pragmatists need an alternative to representation that still accounts for what many find so attractive about representation, namely intentionality. I propose that instead of representations we philosophers and scientists begin thinking in terms of cultural affordances. Like Gibsonian affordances, cultural affordances are opportunities for action. However, unlike Gibsonian affordances, which are merely biological and available for immediate action in the immediately present environment, cultural affordances also present opportunities for thinking about the past and acting into the future-tasks typically attributed to representations.

Long recognized as a defining feature of religion, prayer, paradoxically, has received only sporadic empirical attention. Recent investigations in the U.S. and the Netherlands have sought to address this gap by exploring the topic of prayer in programmatic fashions, significantly advancing the state of the art in terms of measurement of the practice of private prayer. The present paper first offers one way to integrate and expand the contemporary prayer literature using a conceptual analysis of religion. Second, challenges and possibilities associated with moving from this synthetic definition to neuroimaging work are examined within the framework of social cognitive neuroscience
