    This study assessed whether symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), health anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty were associated with distress in members of the Ménière's Society (n = 800), and compared the extent of anxiety, depression, intolerance of uncertainty and health anxiety with a healthy control group (n = 484). PTSD symptoms were associated with anxiety, depression, and handicap. Health anxiety was associated with anxiety and depression. Intolerance of uncertainty was directly associated with anxiety; its association with depression and handicap was mediated by PTSD symptoms. The Ménière's group reported more anxiety, depression, and health anxiety than the control group, but were not more intolerant of uncertainty. More than half of the Ménière's group reported experiencing partial or full PTSD symptoms. As PTSD, health anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty are modifiable with psychological treatment, we advise that clinicians should screen patients with Ménière's disease who are particularly distressed

    Investigating the Influence of Language Evolution on Perception of a Continuous Meaning Space

    There has been a recent resurgence in psycholinguistic experimental studies testing linguistic relativity – the view, associated with Benjamin Lee Whorf (1956), that the language we speak influences our perception and understanding of the environment. Furthermore, recent experimental work in evolutionary linguistics in the Iterated Learning Model applied to humans (e.g., Kirby, Cornish, & Smith, 2008) has proved to be successful at explaining how language transmission can shape its properties. In light of these findings, the research presented here unprecedentedly embarks on testing linguistic relativity from an evolutionary perspective. It is demonstrated that language transmission of two qualitatively different languages evolved in the experiment by Matthews, Kirby, & Cornish (in prep.) – one that promotes the distinction between rotated and unrotated shapes and the other that does not – influences perception of these shapes. This finding suggests that language evolution shapes the conceptual system (semantics) in the speakers’ minds by propagating the ways the world should be perceived and interpreted within a given speech community
