DENNIS ROBERTSON ON UTILITY AND WELFARE IN THE 1950s
No full textThe paper investigates Dennis Robertson's effort to defend the Cambridge utilitarian tradition against the so-called "new welfare economics" in the 1950s. Robertson's sustained and isolated endeavor to rescue Marshallian cardinal utility attracted the attention of economists at the time. According to Robertson, welfare economics should be based on cardinal utility, and the ordinalist revolution in the consumer and welfare theories should be rejected. It was only by sticking to the study of the economic or material aspects of welfare under the assumption of measurable utility that the economist would regain its ability to approach economic welfare as an objective of economic policy.
Aripiprazole in the treatment of challenging behaviour in adults with autism spectrum disorder
No full textBackground Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with repetitive behaviours and often also with hyperactivity, aggression, self-injurious behaviour, irritability and lability of mood. There is emerging evidence that aripiprazole, an antipsychotic with partial agonist dopaminergic effect, may be effective in the treatment of these challenging behaviours. Nevertheless, there is little evidence for their efficacy in adults with ASD. Objectives The aim of this article is to present preliminary data on the use of aripiprazole in the treatment of challenging behaviour in the setting of ASD. Methods We present a consecutive series of five inpatients of normal intelligence with challenging behaviour associated with ASD, diagnosed according to ICD-10 criteria, which was resistant to treatment with other medical and behavioural interventions and which was treated with aripiprazole. Results Four out of five patients were classified as "much improved" or "very much improved" according to the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale. Aripiprazole caused akathisia, at a dose of 30 mg in the one patient who was not classified as a responder but was otherwise well tolerated. Conclusions This is the first case series of adults with ASD presenting with challenging behaviour who have been treated with aripiprazole. While the results are promising, controlled trials are required to confirm the findings
Believing what you feel: Using proprioceptive feedback to reduce unilateral neglect
No full textUnilateral spatial neglect declines when participants reach to grip the center of long metal rods compared with when they point to the perceived center, suggesting that visuomotor control systems are less affected by neglect than other representational systems (I. H. Robertson, D. Nice, & B. Hood, 1995). In this study, 16 participants with unilateral left neglect actually picked up rods, and we predicted short-term improvements in neglect because of induced conflict between a phenomenally symmetrical visual world on the one hand and a proprioceptively conveyed rightward-biased world on the other. With participants serving as their own controls, significant short-term improvements in neglect were found on 2 out of 4 neglect tasks after participants experienced proprioceptive feedback discrepant from the judgments they made on the basis of visual information alone
Studying space representation within a neuropsychological perspective
No full textThis special issue is in honour of Luigi (better known as Gino) Pizzamiglio, who devoted his long and productive scientific career to neuropsychological research and made significant contributions in areas ranging from phonology and language to space perception and human navigation. His approach is characterized by a highly innovative combination of experimental methods deriving from psychology, phonology, and cognitive neuroscience to study the disorders of individuals with circumscribed cerebral lesions and particular genetic profiles. With the advent of neuroimaging techniques, Gino began to use these methods to make further important contributions in the areas of neglect, human navigation, and representation of action. This all took place in parallel with his enduring interest in using experimental paradigms to study recovery and rehabilitation following brain damage
