Learning the lie of the land: How people construct mental representations of distributions.
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn
December 2024
School of Psychology, UNSW Sydney.
An unexamined assumption in many studies of learning and decision making is that people learn underlying probability distributions. However, the acquisition of distributional knowledge is rarely the focus of investigations. We report five experiments ( = 580 adults) that provide this focus and highlight the factors that impact people's ability to accurately learn and reproduce underlying distributions.

Article Synopsis
- The paper examines the diverse theories surrounding the concept of the body in social gerontology, highlighting varying assumptions about embodiment and the physical body.
- It advocates for a comprehensive approach to understanding embodiment in later life that embraces ambiguity, potentially resolving confusing conceptual differences.
- Based on interviews with 16 participants aged 65 and older, the study introduces the idea of "bodily responsivity," revealing four ways older individuals engage with their experience of aging: as "bodily I," "bodily it," "bodily you," and "bodily we."
The Human Body is the Collective Unconscious: Archetypal Images as Innate Embodied Metaphors.
J Anal Psychol
June 2024
Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
For a significant part of its history, archetype theory has been undermined by criticisms containing unexamined Cartesian assumptions. Such assumptions treat all cognition as disembodied, consisting of mere manipulation of abstract, inherently meaningless signs mimicked from verbal instruction or cultural learning. Since the 1980s, due to the results of many independent disciplines, however, this view is being replaced with one of embodied cognition.

J Anal Psychol
April 2024
USA.
An oft-repeated and largely unexamined assumption in Jungian psychoanalysis is the notion of "analyzability", that is, of an individual's ability or present capacity to think symbolically. It is often taught that if someone is unable to think symbolically, a depth analysis is not possible. Such an individual may be more aptly suited for supportive psychotherapy, the argument goes, an experience that may very well lead to the development of the ego's capacity for symbolic thought but is not, in and of itself, a Jungian analysis.

Soc Sci Med
February 2024
School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Rationale: Maternal fetal surgery (MFS) has developed rapidly since the 1960s and centers for fetal diagnosis and therapy (CFDT) have proliferated. As a result, CFDT clinicians have intervened with fetuses through pregnant bodies for decades, yet the patienthood status of the fetus and its implications for the pregnant person's autonomy have been relatively unexamined.
Objective: Our overall research aims were threefold: (1) to explore how clinicians train for and provide counseling for MFS; (2) to examine how clinicians assess fetal patienthood and its implications; and (3) to understand clinicians' professed needs and their recommendations for education and training for the provision of MFS counseling.
