LOVE AND LUST
Ìý
Is love just a chemical state with genetic roots and environmental influences? New research suggests that there might be drugs or genetic therapies which can help people to fall in love, or perhaps fix broken relationships.
Ìý
Many scientists believe that administering serotonin can help someone get over a bad love affair faster and that by doing novel things with your long-term partner it is possible to trick the brain into feeling romantic love.
Ìý
Raj Persaud talks Dr , Research Professor and member of the Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Rutgers University about her research.
Ìý
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS
Ìý
The reliability of the eyewitness remains one of the primary concerns of forensic psychology. Despite the huge advances in forensic science, such as DNA profiling, the majority of cases that are dealt with by the courts today are still resolved by analysing the credibility of witness accounts.
Ìý
Research and well-publicised miscarriages of justice have demonstrated that eyewitness memory is fallible, and psychologists now play a significant role in assisting jurors to analyse the credibility of witness evidence.
Ìý
Raj Persaud finds out how difficult it is to recall something accurately when he takes part in a memory recall experiment led by Dr Fiona Gabbert, Department of Cognitive Psychology at Aberdeen University. Raj Persaud also talks to Andrew Rolph former police officer and Manager of the Identification Bureau for the Grampian Police, about the issues surrounding the accuracy of eyewitness memory from perceiving the event to giving evidence in court.
Ìý
EMETPHOBIA
Ìý
Emetophobia is the irrational and overwhelming fear of throwing up and it's the sixth most common phobia in the UK.
Ìý
Raj Persaud talks to Leanne Ingram who suffers from emetophobia and is also joined by Dr David Veale, Consultant Psychiatrist at the Priory Hospital in North London, who will be presenting a paper on Vomit Phobia at the Anxiety Disorders Conference in Manchester on Saturday.
