SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Associate Professor Richard Ramsey (Department of Psychology – Macquarie University)
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Richard RamseyDepartment of Psychology – Macquarie University\nTitle: Perceiving and Interacting with Social Agents: Insights from Brain and Behaviour \nAbstract: The ability to perceive and interact with others typically occurs in an effortless manner\, but is underpinned by complex cognitive and neural processes. In this talk\, I review recent evidence from behavioural and brain imaging studies that uncover deeper insight into social cognition and brain function. Using examples from person perception and theory-of-mind paradigms\, as well as work investigating individual differences and loneliness\, I highlight the importance of considering distributed and connected brain circuits when aiming to understand how we perceive and interact with others in a social world.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Laureate talks by Prof Olivier Piguet & A/Prof Damian Birney (School of Psychology – University of Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special two-part colloquium\, with Laureate talks by two grant winners in our School:Prof Olivier Piguet\nHuman hippocampus subregions organisation and associative memory processes.\nThis proposal will investigate the hippocampus\, a highly inter-connected structure containing many subregions. Although considered the memory centre of the brain\, we still do not know the exact roles of these subregions during memory processes. Using novel brain neuroimaging acquisition methods and analyses\, this project aims to map the internal structure and functions of the hippocampus and its functional networks under different memory conditions and how these functions change with age. The intended outcome of this proposal is to provide the foundations for the first integrated model of human memory and its biological basis and to generate a benchmark against which future development of memory interventions and retraining can be measured.\n \nA/Prof Damian Birney\nA paradigm shift in understanding cognitive flexibility.\nThe project aims to model cognitive flexibility as a dynamic process within people that varies across situations and occasions using advanced data analytics. Significance: The project intends to generate new knowledge in intelligence theory using recent advances that overcome known theory-testing limitations that have historically been ignored. Expected Outcomes: An authentic account of cognitive flexibility and a new paradigm for developing and testing models of dynamic change within people. Benefits: Dynamic models are needed to understand authentic problem-solving and cognitive function. The advances benefit research and applied areas where dynamic processes are important\, including education\, work\, and cognitive aging.\n \nPlease join us on Friday 5th November at 3pm online at: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/81648124363.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Professor Emerita Phyllis Butow: How hard should we try? Evaluating implementation strategies for embedding an anxiety/depression clinical pathway into routine oncology practice
DESCRIPTION:Professor Emerita Phyllis Butow (USYD)Bio\nProf Phyllis Butow (BA(Hons)\, MPH\, MClinPsych\, PhD) is Emeritus Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney. She founded the Australian Psycho-Oncology Co-operative Research Group (PoCoG) and the Centre for Medical Psychology and Evidence-based Decision-making (CeMPED). Prof Butow has worked for over 30 years leading research in health professional-patient communication and Psycho-Oncology. She has conducted research on psychosocial issues in cancer genetics\, doctor-patient communication\, patient involvement in cancer consultations and decision-making (including informed consent)\, interventions to reduce fear of cancer recurrence\, implementation of clinical pathways for anxiety and depression in cancer patients\, and disparities in outcomes and needs of immigrants with cancer. She has won many awards\, including the International Psycho-Oncology Society Bernard Fox award for outstanding contribution to Psycho-Oncology research in 2009\, the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia Tom Reeve award for outstanding contribution to cancer care in 2011\, NSW Cancer Researcher of the year in 2012\, and an Order of Australia (AM) in 2014.\nHow hard should we try? Evaluating implementation strategies for embedding an anxiety/depression clinical pathway into routine oncology practice\nAbstract\nBackground: Evidence on the efficacy of psychosocial oncology interventions is mounting\, yet their inclusion in routine clinical practice remains low. Optimal strategies to facilitate implementation of evidence-based clinical pathways are unclear. Implementation science must guide the next wave of research in our discipline. We developed a clinical pathway for anxiety/depression (the ADAPT CP) and resources to support it\, including health professional (HP) training\, an online patient intervention and HP and patient portals to facilitate the process. We evaluated two implementation strategies (core versus enhanced) to facilitate implementation of the ADAPT CP in routine care.\nMethods: Twelve cancer services in NSW Australia were cluster randomised\, stratified by service size\, to a core (standard) versus enhanced (more proactive\, ongoing support by the research team) implementation strategy for the ADAPT CP over 12 months. All patients at participating sites were offered the ADAPT CP as part of routine care\, and if agreeable\, completed screening measures at regular intervals. They were allocated a severity step for anxiety/depression from one (minimal) to five (severe) and recommended management appropriate to their severity step. Staff completed questionnaires and interviews prior to\, and at 6 and 12 months after implementing the ADAPT CP. Health economic data were collected.\nResults: Of 1\,280 registered patients\, 696 (54%) completed at least one screening\, and there were 1\,323 screening events (883 in core and 440 in enhanced services) in total. Adherence was high for screening\, moderate for referral and low for checking uptake and progress. Adherence was significantly higher when anxiety/depression step was less severe\, and in the enhanced versus control arm (p=.02) for step 3 anxiety/depression and trending to significance for step 4. Anxiety/depression dropped significantly between screens. Health service costs (attending medical appointments\, use of drugs) were lower in patients following registration on ADAPT CP. The cost of implementing ADAPT CP for individual services was approximately $12\,000 a year. Staff perceived the CP as of high value\, acceptable\, appropriate\, fit for purpose for services and a catalyst for change. However\, timing screening was difficult\, online screening was challenging and burdensome\, and referral pathways were sometimes unclear.\nDiscussion: These results support ongoing implementation effort for the first year of implementation to ensure successful uptake of new clinical pathways in over-burdened clinical services. We need to understand the barriers and facilitators of uptake for psychosocial oncology interventions\, and ensure that appropriate resourcing is allocated for this purpose.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Prof Sally Andrews Memorial Lecture on Cognitive Psychology: Prof Erik Reichle (Macquarie University)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Erik Reichle (Macquarie University) \n\n\n\nProfessor Sally Andrews Memorial Lecture on Cognitive Psychology: Towards a Model of the Reconstructed Self \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nOur sense of self is dependent upon our experiences and how the “thread” of our autobiography is reconstructed from memories of our contextually rich experiences.  In this talk\, I will describe how an instance-based model of human memory\, MINERVA 2 (Hintzman\, 1986)\, can be used as a framework for understanding how this happens.  I will report simulations that show how autobiographical sequences can be generated from discrete memories of unrelated episodes\, and how the basic processes of encoding\, storage\, and retrieval can give rise to distortions of self (e.g.\, dissociative identity disorder; Boag\, 2024). \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nErik D. Reichle received a BS in psychology from Iowa State University and a PhD in cognitive psychology from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst.  Since 2017\, he has worked at Macquarie University where he is a professor of cognitive psychology.  His research uses computer modelling\, eye-tracking\, and brain-imaging to understand the mental processes that support skilled reading and how those processes are influenced by languages and writing systems.  He has published more than 120 articles on these topics and has recently authored two books: Computational models of reading: A handbook (Oxford University Press) in 2021\, and The psychology of reading: Insights from Chinese (Cambridge University Press) in 2024.
