Psychological properties

Ketchum et al. (189) reported che results of field tests in which two groups of four men each were exposed on different days to clouds of an aerosolized solution of 3-quinuclldinyl benzilate in chloroform. After exposure to che cloud, the subjects were raced on their performances in a variety of tests of physiologic and psychologic properties. Baseline performances in these tests had been recorded after 12-20 practice runs before exposure the five best scores in che practice runs were averaged as the baseline scores. A dry run before che actual experiment incorporated all features of the experiment except Che exposure che scores on che test battery... 

Is it possible to localize memory No. This is because having a memory is a psychological property of a person, or an animal, as a whole. In other words, as brains do not have memories, one cannot localize them in the brain. However, maybe one can localize those neuronal changes necessary and sufficient for a particular change in behaviour Thus, the trick is to not try to localize a psychological process ( memory ), but the substrate of its behaviour corollary (the memory trace ). 

Psychological Properties. The products are all palatable, with the exception of the crude sugars which have a bitter flavor, objectionable to most people. The low conversion sirups, around 30 dextrose equivalent, are practically tasteless. As hydrolysis progresses to 35 to 38 D.E., some sweetness is developed. This increases to and through the 60 D.E. product but thereafter is obscured by the increasing bitterness. 

If supervenience holds, psychological properties make a difference to the causal relations of an event, for they matter to the physical properties, and the physical properties matter to causal relations. It does nothing to undermine this argument to say But the mental properties make a difference not as mental but only because they make a difference to the physical properties . Either they make a difference or they don t if supervenience is true, they do (1993 14). 

Descartes s difficulties arose from the duality of mental and material substances. Current mainstream physicaUsm, which calls itself nonreductive physicahsm, runs into parallel difficulties on account of its commitment to the duality of psychological and physical properties — or its failure to make a reductionist commitment for psychological properties, (p. 46)... 

The use of aromas goes back to ancient times, as implied by the nearly 200 references in the Bible relating the use of aromas for mental, spiritual and physical healing (Perry and Perry 2006). It is currently accepted that aromas and some of its individual components may in fact possess pharmacological and/or psychological properties, and in many instances the overall effect is likely to result... 

MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR THE SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF DANGER... 

Despite all the snags, an attempt is being made to compare a huge variety of different risks (with the help of various research institutes). The method makes allowance for the social and psychological properties of risks. Multidimensional risk comparison has thus been institutionalised. It is nevertheless striking how unknown the National Risk Assessment is in the Netherlands, even though it is cited as an exemplary in international circles (see textbox 3.3). The NRA is po-... 

We have arrived at five reference points for dealing with potential threats across the entire spectrum of risks and uncertainty 1) intertwine opportunities and threats 2) make allowance for the social and psychological properties of danger 3) utilise risk comparisons in order to ease the political appraisal process ... 

Some of the most extensive studies carried out so far on the psychological properties of adrenochrome are those of Grof, Vojtechovsky, Vitek and their co-workers [373-376] in Czechoslovakia. Adrenochrome in doses of...
