2. Interrupted Time Experience in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Empirical Evidence from Content Analysis

Author

Vogel, David, Falter-Wagner, Christine M., Schoofs, Theresa, Krämer, Katharina, Kupke, Christian, and Vogeley, Kai

Abstract

Although the experience of time is of central relevance for psychopathology, qualitative approaches to study the inner experience of time have been largely neglected in autism research. We present results from qualitative data acquired from 26 adults with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Employing inductive content analysis we identified a distinct pattern of interrupted time experience in ASD. Individuals with ASD seemed to implement structured and routine behavior by future planning to guarantee that the present passed uninterrupted. We reason that the success of corresponding compensatory mechanisms determines the development of distress and noticeable symptoms. Considering recent theories on Bayesian perceptual inference we relate the syndrome of interrupted time experience to the putative neuronal mechanisms underlying time experience.

Abstract

Situated cognition embeds perceptions, thoughts, and behavior within the contextual framework of so-called “4E-cognition” understanding cognition to be embodied, enactive, extended, and embedded. Whereas this definition is primarily based on the spatial properties of a situation, it neglects a fundamental constituent: the cognitive situation as enduring. On a subpersonal level, situated cognition requires the integration of information processing within a minimal temporal extension generating the basic building blocks of perception and action (“micro-layer” of time). On a personal level, lived situations and experienced narratives leading to our biography can be defined by their broader temporal horizons (“macro-layer” of time). The macro-layer of time is based on and emerges from information processing on the micro-layer of time. Whereas the constraints on the micro-layer are primarily defined by the integrity of neurobiological processes within an individual cognitive system, the temporal horizons and subsequently the situational context on the macro-layer are defined by the complex affordances of a situation on a personal or interpersonal level. On both time layers, cognition can be defined as a continuous dynamic process, reflecting the transition from one situated state to another. Taken together, the events forming the delimiting horizons of these situations correspond to the temporal structure of the cognitive process along which it continuously proceeds. The dynamic driving and enabling this transition from state to state is synonymous with the inherent flow of time. Just as the layers of time, flow and structure, are inseparably connected. The integration of temporal flow and temporal structure into the continuous dynamic process constitutes the enduring situatedness of cognition. By providing everyday examples and examples from psychopathology, we highlight the benefits of understanding cognitive processes as part of enduring situations.

6. Flow and structure of time experience - concept, empirical validation and implications for psychopathology

Author

Vogel, David H. V., Falter-Wagner, Christine M., Schoofs, Theresa, Kraemer, Katharina, Kupke, Christian, Vogeley, Kai, Vogel, David H. V., Falter-Wagner, Christine M., Schoofs, Theresa, Kraemer, Katharina, Kupke, Christian, and Vogeley, Kai

Abstract

We present a conceptual framework on the experience of time and provide a coherent basis on which to base further inquiries into qualitative approaches concerning time experience. We propose two Time-Layers (Macro-Layer and Micro-Layer) and two Time-Formats (Flow and Structure) forming four Time-Domains. Micro-Flow and Micro-Structure represent the implicit phenomenal basis, from which the explicit experiences of Macro-Flow and Macro-Structure emerge. Complementary to this theoretical proposal, we present empirical results from qualitative content analysis obtained from 25 healthy participants. The data essentially corroborate the theoretical proposal. With respect to Flow, the phenomenally accessible time experience appeared as a continuous passage reaching from the past through the present into the future. With respect to Structure, the individual present was embedded in the individual biography, emerging from past experiences and comprising individual plans and goals. New or changing plans and goals were being integrated into the existing present, thus forming a new present. The future appeared as changeable within the present, by means from the past, and therefore as a space of potential opportunities. Exemplarily, we discuss these results in relation to previous empirical findings on deviant experiences of time in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that is presumably characterized by a breakdown of Flow and concomitant compensatory repetition resulting in an overly structured time. Finally, we speculate about possible implications of these findings both for psychopathological and neuroscientific research.

10. Disturbed Experience of Time in Depression-Evidence from Content Analysis

Author

Vogel, David H. V., Kraemer, Katharina, Schoofs, Theresa, Kupke, Christian, Vogeley, Kai, Vogel, David H. V., Kraemer, Katharina, Schoofs, Theresa, Kupke, Christian, and Vogeley, Kai

Abstract

Disturbances in the experience of time have been a commonly reported feature of depressive disorders since the beginning of modern psychiatry and psychological research. However, qualitative research approaches to investigate the phenomenon are rarely used. We employed content analysis to investigate disturbances of time experience in Major Depressive Disorder. Our analysis from 25 participants showed that individuals with Major Depressive Disorder subjectively seem to have lost the ability to influence or change the present, resulting in an impersonal and blocked future. The present is rendered meaningless, the past unchangeably negative, and the passage of time turned into a dragging, inexorable, and viscous continuance. The overall, - possibly intersubjective-concept of time experience, remains largely intact, causing or adding to depressive mood and suffering. We elaborate on how these findings reflect previous theories on the experience of time in depression. This study might encourage future inquiries into both the phenomenal and neuroscientific foundation of time experience under psychopathological conditions.

19. The Influence of Colour and Constructions of Masonry on the Heat Transfer through External Walls.

Author

Kupke, Christian

Abstract

The Polytechnic of Stuttgart was commissioned to investigate the ef fect of external wall construction and colour on heat transfer in natural climatic con ditions. Heat losses were measured over a long period of time in an experimental house made of different types of brick walls and lightweight walls. Measurements were supplemented by computer calculations.

20. DIE UNAUSWEICHLICHKEIT VON PARTIZIPATION.

Author

KUPKE, CHRISTIAN

Abstract

The article discusses public participation in art. The essential philosophical nature of participation itself is questioned along with the limitations of participation, and the participation allegedly inherent in existence. The author attempts to draw a distinction between the idea and ideal of participation.

21. Psychoanalysis--a phenomenology of language.

Abstract

It is often said that there is an unbridgeable gap between phenomenology and psychoanalysis. But this is only half the truth. Starting from Merleau-Ponty's proposal of an objectivistic and an idealistic divergence of Freud's enterprise the paper tries to reconstruct two possible movements: the objectivistic divergence of Husserl's enterprise as a phenomenological shift towards psychoanalysis and the idealistic divergence of Freud's enterprise as a psychoanalytical shift towards phenomenology. It is shown that this approach is possible on the field of language and semiotics where psychic life, as the essence of our subjectivity, may be rendered as a uniform phenomenon of an articulation in the world of signs. This thesis is elucidated at the end of the paper by discussing first (to the phenomenological side) a certain interpretation of the use of Husserl's reduction as a method of investigation in psychiatry and second (to the psychoanalytic side) the importance of Lacan's difference between repression and foreclosure for a psychopathological understanding of psychosis.
