The fitness of human sociobiology: the future utility of four concepts in four subdisciplines.

Reported here are the results of a survey inquiring into the rate of acceptance of four sociobiological concepts in regard to their usefulness for future research. Included in the survey were members of four subdisciplines: animal behavior (biology), biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and developmental psychology. Three types of institutions were included: universities, four- and five-year colleges, and community colleges. A total of 1,631 responses are reported with the degree of acceptance varying from highest to lowest as follows: biology, biological anthropology, developmental psychology, and cultural anthropology. These variations are related to the central concepts of each subdiscipline.

Psychophysiological responses in closed head injury.

This study compared the psychophysiological parameters involved in the processing of bisensory memory tasks and their recall in a group of 30 adult patients with closed head injury and a group of 29 normal controls. Utilizing an automated on-line computerized system, continuous recording of heart rate, galvanic skin response and respiration were carried out during four intersensory, experimental conditions. Differences among the physiological and performance measures employed, the interaction of the modality of the task (auditory or visual) and the recall parameters (serial or paired) were observed in the set of experimental conditions. The findings in the present study were discussed in the context of the cortical control of the autonomic nervous system.
