Children, credibility, and testimonial injustice
According to Miranda Fricker (2007), a person suffers testimonial injustice when they suffer a wrongful credibility deficit—that is, when their assertions are met with undue skepticism. As yet, there is no discussion of testimonial injustice against the elderly. There is, however, an emerging discussion of testimonial injustice against children. That is my interest here. Some recent authors claim that children are subject to systematic testimonia…
The Ontology of Emotions
This collection has a broader scope than one might expect based on its title. Of the ten contributions (all original works), five squarely focus on the ontology of emotions but the other five meet that description only loosely. The first two chapters are not really about emotions. Each sketches a broad ontological view that the author has defended in a recent book—from William Jaworski, hylomorphism about the mind, and from John Heil, disposition…
Functionalism and the Problem of Occurrent States
In 1956 U. T. Place proposed that consciousness is a brain process. More attention should be paid to his word ‘process’. There is near-universal agreement that experiences are processive—as witnessed in the platitude that experiences are occurrent states. The abandonment of talk of brain processes has benefited functionalism, because a functional state, as it is usually conceived, cannot be a process. This point is dimly recognized in a well-know…
The Properties of One: Facial Memory and the Isolation Effect
In an experiment testing the extension of the von Restorff/isolation effect to feature recognition, observers viewed a study set of 20 faces with 0, 1, 2, or 4 distinctive stimuli on each face. In Experiments 1 and 2, the stimuli were black spots (simple, distinctive stimuli), and in Experiments 3 and 4 they were inverted es (complex, distinctive stimuli). Observers then viewed a test set containing 20 study-set and 20 distractor faces. In 2 of t…
The Properties of One: Single Distinctive Stimuli and Their Effects
In the presence of 1 simple, distinctive stimulus, memory of its context (a face or page of text) is better than with 0, 2, or more such stimuli. According to the von Restorff (Wallace, 1965) or isolation effect (von Restorff, 1933, cited in Koffka, 1935), the salience and memory effect of a single distinctive stimulus is a feature of perception. The isolation effect has commonly been found in memory for distinctive stimuli themselves but not for…
