Cybersecurity and Cognitive Science provides the reader with
multiple examples of interactions between cybersecurity, psychology
and neuroscience. Specifically, reviewing current research on
cognitive skills of network security agents (e.g., situational
awareness) as well as individual differences in cognitive measures
(e.g., risk taking, impulsivity, procrastination, among others)
underlying cybersecurity attacks. Chapters on detection of network
attacks as well as detection of cognitive engineering attacks are
also included. This book also outlines various modeling frameworks,
including agent-based modeling, network modeling, as well as
cognitive modeling methods to both understand and improve
cybersecurity.
Practical Ethics for Effective Treatment of Autism Spectrum
Disorder, Second Edition is for behavior analysts working directly
with, or supervising those who work with, individuals with autism.
The book addresses the principles and values that underlie the
Behavior Analyst Certification Board's (R) Professional and Ethical
Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts and factors that affect
ethical decision-making. In addition, the book addresses critical
and under-discussed topics, including scope of competence,
evidence-based practice in behavior analysis, how to collaborate
with professionals within and outside one's discipline, and how to
design systems of ethical supervision and training customized to
unique treatment settings. Across many of the topics, the authors
also discuss errors students and professionals may make during
analyses of ethical dilemmas and misapplications of ethical codes
within their practice. New to this revision are chapters on Quality
Control in ABA Service Delivery, Ethical Issues in ABA Business
Management and Standardizing Decision-making in ABA Service
Delivery.
Web-based research methodology has evolved since the development of
the world wide web in the 1990s and has proliferated and
diversified with layers upon layers of new major developments in
internet technology and life generally (e.g., search engines,
social media, smartphones, Open Science). This volume presents a
selection of state-of-the-art contributions on web-based research
in psychology. Expert authors explore research methodology,
including new methods made possible through the web or research
that cannot be done without the web. In addition, research ethics,
which have special characteristics in the online research
environment, are addressed to varying degrees, including deception
and inclusivity. Further topics presented range from how web-based
research can advance our knowledge on perception to the adoption of
Open Science (including sharing data, materials, and
preregistrations), as well as how behavior is observed in web-based
research. This collection of contributions is a showcase of the
creativity of researchers to find nifty new ways to harness the web
to advance psychological research.
Mental Health in a Digital World addresses mental health
assessments and interventions using digital technology, including
mobile phones, wearable devices and related technologies. Sections
discuss mental health data collection and analysis for purposes of
assessment and treatment, including the use of electronic medical
records and information technologies to improve services and
research, the use of digital technologies to enhance communication,
psychoeducation, screening for mental disorders, the problematic
use of the internet, including internet gambling and gaming,
cybersex and cyberchondria, and internet interventions, ranging
from online psychotherapy to mobile phone apps and virtual reality
adjuncts to psychotherapy.
A rich guide for understanding the evolving research landscape in
psychology, including changes to core research ethics concepts such
as informed consent, privacy, and risk of harm. This handbook
offers a thorough and authoritative discussion of the ethical
issues in conducting research with human participants. Each chapter
poses an important ethical question, considers the relevant factors
for addressing the question, and presents guidance for
investigators. Topics include: informed consent, deception,
risk/benefit ratio, data security, authorship, conflicts of
interest, fairness and equity when collaborating with researchers
in resource-poor settings, and more. While psychological research
with humans still takes place in the investigator's laboratory and
field, there is an increasing trend toward multiple investigators
and interdisciplinary research projects owing to the complexity of
modern research questions. Furthermore, technology has changed
dramatically and affects all psychological researchers, whether
they are working individually or in large teams. With its
comprehensive scope and practical guidance, this book will serve as
an invaluable aid to understanding and navigating the ethical
challenges that confront new and seasoned researchers alike.
The aim of this book is to provide insight into the principles of
operation of the cerebral cortex. These principles are key to
understanding how we, as humans, function. There have been few
previous attempts to set out some of the important principles of
operation of the cortex, and this book is pioneering. The book goes
beyond separate connectional neuroanatomical, neurophysiological,
neuroimaging, neuropsychiatric, and computational neuroscience
approaches, by combining evidence from all these areas to formulate
hypotheses about how and what the cerebral cortex computes. As
clear hypotheses are needed in this most important area of 21st
century science, how our brains work, I have formulated a set of
hypotheses about the principles of cortical operation to guide
thinking and future research. The book focusses on the principles
of operation of the cerebral cortex, because at this time it is
possible to propose and describe many principles, and many are
likely to stand the test of time, and provide a foundation for
further developments, even if some need to be changed. In this
context, I have not attempted to produce an overall theory of
operation of the cerebral cortex, because at this stage of our
understanding, such a theory would be incorrect or incomplete.
However, many of the principles described will provide the
foundations for more complete theories of the operation of the
cerebral cortex. This book is intended to provide a foundation for
future understanding, and it is hoped that future work will develop
and add to these principles of operation of the cerebral cortex.
The book includes Appendices on the operation of many of the
neuronal networks described in the book, together with simulation
software written in Matlab.
