Oedipus Myth versus Oedipal Science
No full textThis communication addresses a critical therapeutic issue in psychoanalysis by advocating for the replacement of the term “Oedipus complex” with “Oedipal complex.” I reveal the inherent contradictions within the traditional term, examine its detrimental effects on therapeutic outcomes, and present the alternative “Oedipal complex” as a more advantageous and scientifically sound option. After analyzing passages where Freud conflates the real patient with the mythical figure of Oedipus and acknowledges the pivotal role of names in psychological processes, I employ an engineering technique to support the integration of the adjective “Oedipal” into psychoanalytic discourse. Additionally, I explain how the term “Oedipal complex” is more consistent with the philosophy of science. My contribution addresses intellectual resistance to Freud’s theories and the analysand’s “refusal to heal,” proposing that adopting the refined term could significantly impact the future of psychoanalytic theory and practice. The potential impact of this shift on therapeutic efficacy is considerable

The role of event number and duration in time-compressed memory replay
No full textRemembering the unfolding of past experiences usually takes less time than their actual duration. In this study, we examined the extent to which this temporal compression in memory depends on the number and duration of events that need to be maintained in a sequence. Participants were asked to watch and then mentally replay short videos depicting one, two, or three continuous events (i.e., people performing continuous actions in an uninterrupted way), each lasting 3, 6, 9, or 12 s. Across two experiments, we computed indices of remembering duration and temporal compression for each event. Results showed that event remembering duration was close to the actual event duration for short events, but smaller for longer ones (i.e., temporal compression was not systematic but occurred selectively depending on event duration). Furthermore, events were mentally replayed more quickly when they were part of a sequence of several events than when they were presented alone, and this decrease in the duration of event recall with the number of events was more pronounced for longer events. Exploratory analyses revealed that individual differences in memory compression were predicted by visual imagery capacity. These results suggest that working memory capacity in representing naturalistic events is limited by both the number and duration of events to be retained, which may in part explain why the unfolding of events is temporally compressed in episodic memory

No full textComprehensive exploration of visual working memory mechanisms using largescale behavioral experiment
No full textTwo decades of research on visual working memory have produced substantial yet fragmented knowledge. This study aims to integrate these findings into a cohesive framework. Drawing on a large-scale behavioral experiment involving 40 million responses to 10,000 color patterns, a quasi-comprehensive exploration model of visual working memory, termed QCE-VWM, is developed. Despite its significantly reduced complexity (57 parameters versus 30,796), QCE-VWM outperforms neural networks in data fitting. The model provides an integrative framework for understanding human visual working memory, incorporating a dozen mechanisms—some directly adopted from previous studies, some modified, and others newly identified. This work underscores the value of large-scale behavioral experiments in advancing comprehensive models of cognitive mechanisms
Investigating the impact of motivation on food-specific inhibitory control
No full textThe aim of this project is to identify if the motivation to eat healthy food compared to tasty but unhealthy food impacts food-specific inhibitory control. We want to induce motivation to choose healthy and tasty food to the participants to explore how their motivation may change their food-specific inhibitory control performance. Please note that pilot sample was mistakenly noted as N=6, we had sample of N=8 in the pilot study
