AbstractThe fundamental tenet of contemporary sociobiology, namely the assumption of a single process of evolution involving the selection of genes, is critically examined. An alternative multiple-level, multiple-process model of evolution is presented which posits that the primary process that operates via selection upon the genes cannot account for certain kinds of biological phenomena, especially complex, learned, social behaviours. The primary process has evolved subsidiary evolutionary levels and processes that act to bridge the gap between genes and these complex behaviours. The subsidiary levels are development, individual animal learning, and socioculture itself. It is argued that individual learning is pivotal to the derivation and biological analysis of culture. The differences between cultural and noncultural societies are stressed. It is concluded that such a multiple-level model of evolution can form the basis for reconciling opposing sides in the sociobiology debate.

AbstractThis paper presents the results of microprobe investigations of the Platinum-Group Elements (PGE) of the Selukwe Subchamber, Great Dyke, Zimbabwe. The PGE are associated with base metal sulphides in the uppermost pyroxenites of the Ultramafic Sequence of the Great Dyke. The following minerals have been indentified: bismuthotellurides (moncheite, maslovite, michenerite, kotulskite and polarite); arsenides (sperrylite); and sulphides and sulpharsenides (cooperite, laurite, braggite and hollingworthite). Platinum Group Minerals (PGM) occur in three distinct textural environments: (1) at the boundary of sulphides and silicates/hydrosilicates, (2) entirely enclosed within sulphides, and (3) entirely enclosed within silicate or hydrosilicate minerals. The stratigraphic distribution, environments and textures of the PGM have important genetic implications, and cannot be explained by a single process. A multi-process model for the petrogenesis of the PGE mineralisation in terms of complexation and intermediate compound formation is proposed. The primary mineralising events were due to orthomagmatic processes, but the observed textures are the result of microscale remobilisation of PGM components by trapped interstitial fluids (bydromagmatic processes).

Processing Mechanisms

Popular dual-process models of thinking have long conceived intuition and deliberation as two qualitatively different processes. Single-process-model proponents claim that the difference is a matter of degree and not of kind. Psychologists have been debating the dual-process/single-process question for at least 30 years. In the present article, I argue that it is time to leave the debate behind. I present a critical evaluation of the key arguments and critiques and show that—contra both dual- and single-model proponents—there is currently no good evidence that allows one to decide the debate. Moreover, I clarify that even if the debate were to be solved, it would be irrelevant for psychologists because it does not advance the understanding of the processing mechanisms underlying human thinking.

The Way

A rationale for the application of a stage process model for the language-disordered child is presented. The major behaviors of the communicative system (pragmatic-semantic-syntactic-phonological) are summarized and organized in stages from pre-linguistic to the adult level. The article provides clinicians with guidelines, based on complexity, for the content and sequencing of communicative behaviors to be used in planning remedial programs.

Emotional arousal induced after learning has been shown to modulate memory consolidation. However, it is unclear whether the effect of postlearning arousal can extend to different aspects of memory. This study examined the effect of postlearning positive arousal on both item memory and source memory. Participants learned a list of neutral words and took an immediate memory test. Then they watched a positive or a neutral videoclip and took delayed memory tests after either 25 minutes or 1 week had elapsed after the learning phase. In both delay conditions, positive arousal enhanced consolidation of item memory as measured by overall recognition. Furthermore, positive arousal enhanced consolidation of familiarity but not recollection. However, positive arousal appeared to have no effect on consolidation of source memory. These findings have implications for building theoretical models of the effect of emotional arousal on consolidation of episodic memory and for applying postlearning emotional arousal as a technique of memory intervention.
