Abstract
Grand Challenge of psychopathology in the years to come
Highlights
In our opinion, little remains known about the phenomena of psychological suffering and cognitive processes that underpin it
This challenge was overcome, and progress was made in understanding the neurocognitive nature of this decision-making impairment after the development of what became known as the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) (Bechara et al, 1994, 2000)
There is a flourishing science in novel areas such as “neuroeconomics”, which relies on so many measures that tap into brain processes concerned with reward, punishment, valuation, and the like, but relatively so little has been applied from these newly emerging fields to various areas of psychopathology
Summary
Little remains known about the phenomena of psychological suffering and cognitive processes that underpin it. This is but one example of the many reasons why we hope that multidisciplinary research aimed at examining the interplay between cognition and emotion in clinical phenomena, which we would like to promote in this journal, will serve as a primary resource for years to come. Such an aim will certainly require contributions from work provided by researchers in several different disciplines including cognitive science, social, clinical and developmental psychology, as well as neuropsychology and behavioral neuroscience.
