Although the majority of people value the idea of helping others, they often take no particular action. In two field studies we investigated the impact of differently justified requests for spontaneous charity donations and for antisocial behavior like stealing. In the experiments, unwatched stands with cookies and money jars were placed on a crowded city square with one of three different notes: (1) detailed prosocial justification, (2) general justification or (3) no justification. After testing almost 500 participants, we show that mere general arguments can both increase prosocial behavior and decrease antisocial behavior. Additionally, detailed prosocial justification augments generosity, causing people voluntarily to pay more than required. We conclude that prosocial (compliance with request) and antisocial (stealing) behavior is guided by automatic processes that track that there is any reason for the request, while generosity is guided by reflective assessment of the justification of the request.

The context-specific proportion congruent (CSPC) effect can be observed when within a block of trials two different ratios congruent-to-incongruent trials are assigned to different variants of stimulus feature (like location or colour). This feature is a contextual cue. CSPC effect is present when congruency effect size is differentiated according to the ratio congruent-to-incongruent trials assigned to specific stimulation parts. In the present paper the relevance and saliency of contextual cues in variants of the flanker task were systematically manipulated, by varying background colour, stimulus colour and luminance, and target-arrow direction as contextual cues. The obtained results support the claim that task-relevancy of the contextual cue is a critical factor in predicting its effectiveness (no CSPC effect for task-irrelevant background, stimuli colour or luminance, and significant CSPC effect for task-relevant target-arrow direction).

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is likely to have long-term mental health effects on individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 can see a range of long-term side effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of neurotherapy (EEG neurofeedback and goal-oriented cognitive training) in the treatment of neurocognitive dysfunctions in a patient after the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and the long long-term side effects after the contraction of COVID-19. The 48-year-old woman ZR, an accountant by profession, an employee of the administration of the Municipal Board of Municipal Resources, fell ill on October 13, 2020. The disease began with very severe burning headache, eyeballs pain, muscle aches. Ten days later more symptoms joined: loss of smell (anosmia) and loss of taste (ageusia), hearing disorders, shortness of breath and chest pains. The symptoms were associated with SARS-CoV-2 coron- avirus infection confirmed by an rt-PCR genetic test. Brain MRI with intravenous paramagnetic contrast medium injection did not show either lesions of acute microischemic significance or areas of pathological enhancement after paramagnetic contrast medium ad- ministration. The patient was treated at home. In mid-November 2020, about a month after the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and con- tracting NeuroCOVID-19, neurocognitive impairment developed and after half a year she was deteriorating and not able to live in- dependently in society because of her condition. She called her problem "brain fog", and was referred for further diagnosis and therapy to the Reintegration and Training Center of the Polish Neuropsychological Society. We diagnosed a range of long-term side effects and introduced neurotherapy (EEG neurofeedback and goal-oriented cognitive training) in the treatment of neurocognitive dysfunctions. It was found that almost all the long-term side effects were reduced in magnitude. The patient improved and she was able to return to work. EEG neurofeedback and goal-oriented cognitive training might be helpful in the reduction of neurocognitive dysfunctions in patients following the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and long-term side effects after the contraction of COVID-19.

The article aimed at presenting relationships of induced affective state on cognitive control efficiency. Emotional state and cognitive control relationship seems to be one of the most important gates allowing us a glimpse into the nature of emotion-cognition interactions nature. We tested the emotions’ duality of mind model consequences. According to this model we distinguish automatic and reflective emotional processes. We expected that the affective state triggered by the presentation of degraded verbal stimuli would affect the efficiency of saccade towards new stimulus control. The study involved 50 students from various faculties of the University of Warsaw in age from 19 to 30 years. As experimental manipulation we used degraded presentation of words connected with automatic and reflective evaluative system on both positive and negative valence. The dependent variable was the correctness of the Antisaccade Task performance. It turned out that the effectiveness control dependent on the interactive effect of valence and emotion's origin. We also found postulated negative - positive asymmetry in case of reflective emotions.

The execution of a task necessitates the use of a specific response modality. We examined the role of different response modalities by using a task-switching paradigm. In Experiment 1, subjects switched between two numerical judgments, whereas response modality (vocal vs. manual vs. foot responses) was manipulated between groups. We found judgment-shift costs in each group, that is irrespective of the response modality. In Experiment 2, subjects switched between response modalities (vocal vs. manual, vocal vs. foot, or manual vs. foot). We observed response-modality shift costs that were comparable in all groups. In sum, the experiments suggest that the response modality (combination) does not affect switching per se. Yet, modality-shift costs occur when subjects switch between response modalities. Thus, we suppose that modality-shift costs are not due to a purely motor-related mechanisms but rather emerge from a general switching process. Consequently, the response modality has to be considered as a cognitive component in models of task switching.

Stroke is a sudden-onset neurological deficit resulting from focal vascular lesions. This is either due to a clot-induced obstruction of a vessel (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of a vessel causing haemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke). The appropriate diagnosis of brain stroke aphasic patients is a major public health problem one so important for effective rehabilitation. Here an important role is played by the diagnosis of impaired cognitive processes. The aim of the research was to find the index of impaired cognitive control with the use of ERPs in a patient following an ischemic stroke with aphasia. A male patient, aged 69, after an ischemic brain stroke experienced 4 months previously with resulting naming problem, was admitted to the Reintegrative and Teaching Center of the Polish Neuropsychological Society. In the neuropsychological evaluation three neuropsychological tests were employed: (a) the Boston Naming Test-Polish version, to evaluate the naming and word finding problem; (b) the nonverbal Bell test to ascertain a selective, visuospatial and strategic attentional evaluation; (c) the Digit Memory test to evaluate working memory capabilities; (d) ERPs as a neurophysiological index of impaired cognitive control. Significant changes were observed in testing. All cognitive functions including naming, nonverbal, visuospatial and strategic attention, along with the digit memory deviate substantially from the norm. The patient obtained a lo wer score, compared to the norm (p <0.05). Boston Naming Test (patient = 21< Mean-Norm = 57.29; SD= 0.52). Bell test (patient = 23 < Mean-Norm = 31.29; SD= 2.52). Digit Memory Test scores: Forward digit span (patient = 3 < Mean-Norm = 7.65, SD = 0.49). Backward digit span (patient = 2

Health related quality of life (HRQoL) is the most desired patient centered outcome of medical care (Leplége et al. 1997). In patients with long term illness, such as Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis (HP) still under diagnosis, therefore no possible to properly cure, it might be the only outcome achievable (Netuveli et al. 2005; Trystuła 2017). The problem becomes even more serious when occurs in young person: starting a family and caring for children becomes hard or even impossible, because of his/her physical and psychical conditions. Most clinicians are aware of the importance for quality of life of this functional limitation, but there are no articles describing this problem in the literature. We aimed to fill this gap in knowledge. 29 year old patient, a car mechanic, married, with 4-year-old son, with the long his- tory of the illnes, and especially persistent, diffuse, non-specific headaches, frequent seizures and cognitive deterioration which have been particularly troublesome recently. He was finalny diagnosed with Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis (HP) associated with Immunoglobulin G4-related (IgG4) with the use of specific diagnostic criteria for HP associated with IgG4-RD (IgG4-HP), which rely on histopathologic analysis (Lindstrom et al. 2010; Lu et al 2014). Computed tomography (CT) of the head showed massive calcifications visible along the cerebellar tentorium on the right side, along the cerebral falx, as well as on dura mater on the cranial vault of both cerebral hemispheres. The patient was diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (D 83), thrombocytopenia, chronic EBV hepatitis and epilepsy. IgG4-HP was confirmed by CT, MRI and biopsy (IGg4-RHP antibody was detected). The treatment with steroids, and immunosuppressive therapy (RTX) was introduced (as it was suggested by Levraut et al. (2019). It should be stressed that he had a significantly reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mainly because of long-lasting illness, diverse symptoms, often hospitalization, complex differential diagnosis, and especially biopsy which requires neurosurgical intervention, which affect his physical and mental well-being, especially cognitive control, and not possibility to take care of his family. To help the patient we introduce HBI methodology (Kropotov 2016), that is an evaluation of working brain in milliseconds. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), event-related potentials (ERPs) and low-resolution sLORETA tomography were performed. We did not found any paroxysm of 3 Hz rhythm in Eyes Closed (EO) and in Eyes Open (EO) conditions, however the ERPs deviations from the reference indicate deficit of cognitive control (decrease of P3 NOGO wave in comparison to 100 persons from the normative data base from the Human Brain Index in Chur, Switzerland). Therefore, the patient was offered Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (atDCS) combined with goal-oriented psychotherapy program. It was found that after 40 days of therapy, cognitive control returned, which was translated into a better quality of life related to the patient's health, measure in the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). The patient returned to his previous job as a head of car mechanic service. Final diagnosis of IgG4-HP and subsequently, proper farmacotherapy, and introduction of HBI methodology allowing for the selection of an adequate method of neurotherapy, for our patient the transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) combined with goal- oriented psychotherapy, was helpful in the improvement of his quality of life.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) hospitalisation is a potentially traumatic experience, especially in severe cases. Furthermore, the unprecedented context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, with the daily media bombardment about COVID-19 mortality, may have amplified its life-threatening perception also in patients with moderate infection. The purpose of our study was twofold: 1) to evaluate QEEG/ERPs shows of PTSD associated with severe infection SARS-CoV-2, and neuroCOVID-19, 2) to construct a neurofeedback protocol based on these indices to support the psychotherapy of the case study described herein. Patient N.C. 49, a frontline healthcare worker in the emergency services (an ambulance driver), became ill with Covid-19 on November 14, 2020. Initially, he lost his sense of smell (anosmia), of taste (ageusia), and had latent blinks (heterophila), headaches, and dizziness. After 10 days of illness, the patient had additionally a dry cough and a shortness of breath and he was hospitalized, sedated and mechanically ventilated for 24 days. After a few months he was diagnosed with PTSD (according to the DSM- 5 criteria) and referred to the Reintegration and Training Center of the Polish Neuropsychological Society for further diagnosis and treatment. It was found that the P3 GO and P3 NOGO waves were indeed less in his case (p < 0.01) when compared to the ERPs results of a health group of individuals of a similar age (n = 100), derived from the normative data bases of the Human Brain Index (HBI) in Switzerland. The ERPs wave pattern in our patient reflects the pattern appearing in patients with PTSD. The patient took part in 20 sessions of individually tailored anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), with the excitatory stimulation of the left prefrontal cortex and inhibitory stimulation of the right prefrontal cortex which can reduce anxiety, as was proposed in the subject literature. Also, the neuromarker of PTSD obtained with the use of QEEG/ERPs was helpful in choosing the appropriate tDCS protocol. Neurostimulation with the use of tDCS was administered systematically, every day, 15-20 and 30-40 minutes for each session, for 20 days. He also received individual sessions of psychotherapy every day, 30-40 minutes for each session, for 20 day. After the treatment the patient improved and returned to his previous job as a frontline healthcare worker in the emergency services (an ambulance driver) in the fight against COVID-19. Detection of the PTSD neuromarker enabled the development of a proper tDCS protocol and the conduct of effective brain neurostimulation of a patient with PTSD. The proposed protocol of treatment, in combination with goal-oriented individual psychotherapy, offered to the patient, was effective in the reduction of PTSD. ERPs can be useful in the diagnosis of PTSD as well as in selecting an appropriate therapy protocol for these patients.

Research reveals a unique relationship between image representations and emotions. In this context, intrusive mental images could be especially unpleasant and distressing. On the other hand, because of their impact on emotions, images can serve as a support to self-regulation, including regulation of one’s own thoughts. In the article, a thought suppression strategy is proposed that uses images to fight harmful intrusions. This proposition is based on several research areas: studies on image representations properties, the “think/no-think” and the “white bear” thought suppression paradigms, and Lavie’s attention theory The strategy assumes the redirection of attention from unwanted content by using image representations in conditions of maximally freed-up cognitive control resources.

Self-control is a complex and multifaceted construct that can be regarded as an individual trait that follows its own developmental trajectory. In the presented study we used NAS-50 for the assessment of self-control in adolescents and young adults. Since the questionnaire has not been used before in underage participants we tested its reliability in adolescent and adult samples. We also investigated possible age and gender differences in self-control abilities as well as relations between NAS-50 and behavioral measures of cognitive control and impulsivity. Although the sample was quite small, the reliability of the questionnaire was similar to the results achieved by its authors. According to the predictions in the literature we did not find relations between NAS-50 and behavioral measures of cognitive control and impulsivity. We also did not observe significant age differences in the assessment of self-control abilities. The theoretical relevance of our results is discussed.

Poszukiwanie metod badawczych w porównawczych sferach złożoności psychiki kobiecej ze skomplikowaną strukturą architektury ma na celu optymalizację procesów projektowych w oczekiwaniach skutkujących przestrzenią kształtowaną na miarę wymagań, wygodną, bezpieczną, kroczącą z duchem czasu, ikoniczną, a przy tym wyrażającą się niekwestionowanym pięknem. Weryfikacja podobieństw zachodzi na dwóch płaszczyznach, oceny funkcji i oceny formy, przy uwzględnieniu czynników hormonalnych. W tym kontekście upodmiotowienie architektury do roli kobiety pozwala w jak najszerszym zakresie korzystać z operowania emocjami i zmysłami, stanowiącymi nieprzebyte źródło rodzących się doznań, często fenomenologicznie budujących nasze doświadczenie. Bogactwo charakterologiczne obu, wsparte rzemiosłem budowlanym, rzetelnością wykonawczą, technologią, a nade wszystko wiedzą, wyobraźnią i świadomością architekta, wskazuje na możliwość pojawienia się elementów kontroli poznawczej, co implikuje zwiększenie wpływu na jakość kształtowanej wokół nas rzeczywistości.

Looking for research methods in the comparative spheres of female psychological complexity and complex architectural structure is aimed at optimizing the design processes and expected to result in a space that is shaped to satisfy requirements, comfortable, safe, up– to–date, iconic and at the same time emanates unquestionable beauty. Verification of similarities is made on two levels: evaluation of form and evaluation of function, with taking hormonal factors into account. In this context, subjectification of architecture to the woman’s role allows one to make use, to the widest possible extent, of emotions and senses being an endless source of emerging sensations that often phenomenologically build our experience. Characterological richness of both, supported with construction craftsmanship, reliability of execution, technology, but more importantly by knowledge, imagination and awareness of an architect, points to the possibility of occurrence of cognitive control elements, which implies increased impact on the quality of the reality shaped around us.
