What is ‘the Knowledge’?Potential black-cab drivers have to be aged 21 or over and must apply to the Public Carriage Office before beginning their training. The licence for the whole of London requires drivers to have a detailed knowledge of the 25,000 streets within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross, as well as a more general knowledge of the major routes throughout the rest of London. Candidates are given ‘the blue book’, which contains 320 different routes through London. Whilst training, candidates often follow licensed cab drivers on mopeds with map holders attached to their handlebars, trying to learn all the routes. They have a written test on the first 80 routes and then an interview-style examination on the other 240.When they have got through the 320 central London routes they start learning the suburban ones, and after that they take a cab-driving test in London. Finally they take another written and map test. It can take several years to become fully licensed.

Cab drivers are an ideal sample for a study looking at structural brain changes from spatial navigation. The researchers scanned cab drivers and non-cab drivers (the control group), and were able to compare the scan results of the two groups to see if there are any differences. Having a sample of people with a range of years of navigating experience also allows the researchers to examine the effect of spatial experience on brain structure over time.

71

What was the aim of the study?This study attempts to determine whether changes could be detected in the brains of humans who have extreme experiences of spatial navigation. The researchers predicted that if there were any differences in the brains of those who rely heavily on spatial navigational skills in their working life, then these differences would be found in the hippocampus. The assumption being made here is that the hippocampus has ‘plasticity’, that is that the volume of grey matter here can change in response to learning and experience.

Who were the participants?The researchers decided that a suitable sample for this study would be London black-cab drivers, who have to pass a series of tough tests before being licensed to drive one of the famous black cabs. The training is referred to as ‘the Knowledge’ and takes at least two years to complete.

The participants were 16 male licensed cab drivers who had passed ‘the Knowledge’. All were right handed and were between 32 and 62 years of age with a mean age of 44. They had all been licensed for at least 18 months, although the range was from 18 months to 42 years with

a mean of 14.3 years. The average time spent training before passing ‘the Knowledge’ was 2 years (range 10 months to 3.5 years). Some had trained continuously and some had trained on a part-time basis. They were all described as having healthy medical, neurological and psychiatric profiles.The researchers also needed a control group to compare with the cab drivers. As the data were collected through brain-scanning technology, the researchers simply selected 50 scans from the structural MRI scan database at the same centre where the cab drivers were scanned. All these scans were from healthy, right-handed males aged between 32 and 62, to match the general profile of the cab drivers. The mean age and the spread of ages were similar in both groups. None of the control scans were from cab drivers.

What was the method?The method is best described as a quasi-experiment. The researchers did not manipulate the independent variable in this study and they simply used two existing groups of participants – cab drivers and non-cab drivers. The data was collected through two different techniques of analysing MRI scans. These were Voxel-Based Morphology (VBM) and pixel counting. This data was also correlated with the length of time the cab drivers had been licensed.

What is an MRI scan?MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. An MRI scan works by aligning atomic particles in the body tissues by magnetism and then bombarding them with radio waves. This causes the particles to give off radio signals that differ according to what type of tissue is present. A computer software program then converts this information into a 3D picture. A brain scan taken like this looks like a greyish X-ray, which shows clearly where the different types of tissue are. The analysis of the scan in this study was able to calculate the volume of grey matter in the hippocampus.

Key termMRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan method that uses radio waves to obtain 3D images of brain and body tissue

What are voxel-based morphology and pixel-counting?Voxel-based morphology (VBM) and pixel-counting are ways of analysing scan information to give a measure of brain volume. A pixel represents the image in two dimensions and a voxel in three dimensions. VBM has been used to identify changes in a variety of neurological disorders, including schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy. It has also been used to identify structural abnormalities such as those found in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. It has also been used in studies that have attempted to identify the impact of learning on brain structure. Studies have shown that learning to read music, learning a second language and even learning a complex motor skill such as juggling corresponds to changes in the grey and white matter. This study looks at the changes corresponding to navigational skills and experience.

Key study: The Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development by Professor David Farrington, University of Cambridge

In the study Professor David Farrington offers us a complex picture of the development of a group of boys through their lives into adulthood and parenthood in order to investigate the influence of the family on tendency to become involved in crime. He does not try to say that there is just one cause for criminal behaviour, but he does believe in its transmission through generations, which may be through biology (nature) or through social learning (nurture). Aims:

◆ To document the start, duration and end of offending behaviour from childhood to adulthood in families.◆ To investigate the influence of life events; the risk and protective factors predicting offending and anti-social behaviour; the intergenerational transmission of offending and anti-social behaviour, and the influence of family background.

Design: A prospective longitudinal survey.Sample: 411, 8- and 9-year-old boys on the registers of six state schools in East London born in 1953/4. The boys were predominantly white working class. 397 different families were involved and there were 14 pairs of brothers and 5 pairs of twins in the sample. To avoid using the same family twice, one of each pair was randomly excluded. At age 48, the following applied to the 394 males still alive.

Selected results:◆ 20% had acquired convictions by age 17◆ 33% had acquired convictions by age 25◆ 50% of the total convictions had been acquired by 6% of the sample, i.e. 23 males◆ Most of these chronic offenders shared common childhood characteristics:

Section 1 FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY

Turning to crime

Pause for thoughtThe word ‘forensic’ has an unusual history. It comes from the Latin word forensis pertaining to a forum. to conduct all kinds of business, including that of public affairs and legal disputes. The meaning of ‘forensic’ later came to be restricted to refer to the courts of law. The word entered English usage in 1659.

Forensic psychology is one of the fastest developing and attempts to explain some of the most problematic behaviours suffered by modern society, namely crime. The word ‘Forensic’ indicates the application of a particular area of scientific knowledge to legal problems and legal proceedings. For example, in forensic anthropology, in which anthropology is applied to legal processes, perhaps to identify bones or bone structures, forensic dentistry, forensic medicine, forensic pathology, forensic accounting, forensic computing etc.

The ‘Forensic Pathology’ option is designed to follow a rational progression through the criminal justice system, applying psychological understanding to four parts of the criminal experience: Turning to crime, Making a case,

In considering how a person might turn to a life of crime we will look at three influences:Upbringing

Biology.

UpbringingWhen we talk about upbringing, we mean influences from families, friends, teachers, and general life experiences, such as where a person has been brought up. Three key studies are

suggested below as an evidence base for this influence; they are not the only studies available but they provide a starting point for discussion. In considering these studies, we must always be aware that it is not possible to separate out influences, which may act simultaneously. For example, biology will always underlie human behaviour, leading to individual differences that cannot be attributed to other influences.

Key termsIntergenerational transmission: the occurrence of behaviour (criminal) through successive generations of the same family.Risk factors: those factors that make it more likely that criminal behaviour will occur.Protective factors: those factors which will prevent criminal behaviour.
