| BATON ROUGE – LSU Professor of Communication Studies James Honeycutt has been selected to co-edit the prestigious, interdisciplinary journal Imagination, Cognition and Personality. Honeycutt will co-edit the journal with Robert G. Kunzendorf of the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Honeycutt is internationally known for his work in intrapersonal communication, cognition and mental imagery known as imagined interaction in which individuals rehearse and replay encounters in their mind. Honeycutt also has the lead article in the fall 2009, Volume 29, No. 4 issue of Imagination, Cognition and Personality. This pioneering journal explores uncharted scientific territory and creative research-based clinical interventions. Articles examine the stream of consciousness and the flow of human experience in relationship to human development and behavior, imagery and creativity, fantasy and imagination, brain structure and function, aesthetics and the humanities, and social and cultural influences. A variety of authorities examine the uses of imagery, fantasy and other resources of consciousness in psychotherapy, communication, behavior modification, hypnosis, medicine, education and other applied fields. Since 1981 this quarterly journal, Imagination, Cognition and Personality, has presented thoughtful investigations of images, fantasies, memory fragments, narrative constructions and future anticipations, all of which constitute our moment-to-moment experience of awareness. It presents original scientific research examining the relationship of consciousness to brain structure and function, to sensory process, to human development, to aesthetic experience, and to the flow of life events. Over the years Honeycutt’s research team at LSU has published more than 40 scholarly articles and book chapters on imagined interaction. Additionally, there are two books on the topic. Currently, there is a new anthology of studies on mental imagery in a variety of contexts including arguing, usage in interviews, physiological correlates, bereavement, debt, online usage, and road rage. The new volume published by Hampton Press is called “Imagine That: Studies in Imagined Interaction.” For more information, contact Honeycutt at 225-578-6676 or sphone@lsu.edu. -30- |
