EUROIMAGING N ORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY F Structuralneuroimaging Types of lies - provides images of the anatomy - CT, CAT are used to identify abnormality and injury Concealing - MRI - uses harmless magnetic fields to vibrate atoms - Withholding information Functionalneuroimaging Falsifying - Provides images of how the brain works. - Presenting false information as if it were true - PET - produces colour images showing brain activity and Misdirecting function, used to record the level of activity in different - acknowledging an emotion but misidentifying what caused brain areas that emotion NEUROPSYCHOLOGY -how the brain and nervous system relate to ELEMENTS behaviour and cognition - Subjective experience- different stimuli trigger a uniques The main aspect is to influence the brain's structure and function. response person to person Left hemisphere - expressive behaviours - manifestation of anindividual's - Receives and processes sensations from the right side of emotions, feeling or psychological state the body - physiological arousal- changes in the body in response - Controls voluntary movement to a stimuli preparing us for action Verbal tasks, Analysis, Logical reasoning Bystander effect Right hemisphere - Refers to to the idea that the greater number of people - Receives and processes sensations from the left side of means the less likely they are to help a person in distress the body Experimenter bias - Control movement left side of body - An unwanted influence on participants performance - Non verbal tasks The lucifer effect - Creativity, fantasy, appreciation of art and music, - The transformation of a person's character causing Recognising emotions Frontal - voluntary movements good people to commit bad behaviour Parietal - receives and processes information Ethics Occipital - primary receiver sensory information - Refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary temporal lobe - receives info for both ears when carrying out research - Withdrawal rights, Use of deception, Confidentiality, Voluntary participation, Debriefing, Informed procedures Mental impairment - A legal term that refers to a person having a mental disorder or intellectual disability - Offender profiling unction- contralateral - left side controls right vice versa F - Is an investigation tool used by law enforcement, to BRAIN DAMAGE identify likely suspects and to analyse patterns that - refers to impairments, interferes. - Acquired brain injury - strokes (CT) might predict the future offences or victims - Insidious onset - Stereotypes - Sudden onset Classical conditioning- is learning through association - Neurodegenerative disease - NO CURE where two stimuli are linked together to produce a new Biological changes learned response - Physical changes - reduced movement Operant conditioning- a theory of learning where behaviour - (facial expressions, hand eye coordinations) is influenced by its consequences. (rewards and punishment) Psychological changes - Emotion, personality, cognition, behaviour Expert witness - Lack of empathy, emotional responsiveness - Specialised in knowledge, skills or experience Social change - May be hired by defence or prosecution - Breakdown in relationships, personality changes eyewitness - Spatial neglect - The person their first hand experience, not allowed Neuroplasticity to express opinion - The brain is adaptive False accusations - Change due to experience and environment - Sensory and motor areas seem to be adaptive - Is a claim or allegation of wrongdoing that is untrue NEURONS and or otherwise unsupported by facts - Soma (cell body), nucleus, dendrite, axon, axon terminal, Stanford prison experiment myelin sheath - Deindividuation - removing one's sense of self to - Used to process, transmit and receive info make them feel anonymous Parasympathetic nervous system - Dehumanisation- is to deprive someone of - To relax and reduce your bodies activities human qualities, personality or dignity GSR- the change in the skin's electrical properties due to emotional arousal and stress IV- the variable that stands alone and doesn't change by other variables. DV- what changes as a result of the independent variables manipulation. Subjective experience - How a person understands and interprets an event, and the emotional impact it has on them. Obedience to authority - In a hierarchical society people obey instructions from those who have higher authority.
