Practice makes perfect, but to what end? Computerised brain training has limited cognitive benefits in healthy ageing
Whether brain training programmes are effective and have transferable benefits to wider cognitive abilities is controversial, especially in older adult populations. We assessed, in a randomised controlled intervention study, whether a commercially available brain training programme can induce cognitive improvements in a sample of healthy older adults ( N = 103). Participants completed a three-month intervention of either an adaptive computerised …
Support and Aid to Families Electronically (Safe)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools from elementary to post-secondary suddenly shifted to remote learning, placing a heavy burden on parents and caregivers. Likewise, social work practicum placements pivoted to remote learning, compounding existing difficulties securing practicum opportunities. This article describes a response to these challenges. The Support and Aid to Families Electronically (SAFE) practicum pilot program was develop…
Twenty-First-Century Readings of E.M. Forster's 'Maurice'
This is the first book-length study of Forster’s posthumously published novel. Nine essays focus exclusively on Maurice and its dynamic afterlives in literature, film and new media during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Begun in 1913 and revised over almost 50 years, Maurice became a defining text in Forster’s work and a canonical example of queer fiction. Yet the critical tendency to read Maurice primarily as a ‘revelation’ of Forster’…
Interpreting “Mind‐Cure”
The private papers of the philosopher‐psychologist, W illiam J ames, indicate that he frequented several mental healers during his life, undertaking 100–200 therapeutic sessions concerning a range of symptoms from angina to insomnia. The success of the mind‐cure movement constituted for J ames both a corroboration, and an extension, of the new research into the subconscious self and the psychogenesis of disease. Epistemologically, the experiences…
Putting Words on the Backs of Rhythm
This essay explores Virginia Woolf's representation of rhythm in two early texts - her neglected 1905 essay 'Street Music' and her first novel, The Voyage Out (1915). It teases out the texts' characterisations of musical, literary, bodily and urban rhythms, considering their implications for a theory of literary rhythm more broadly. Arguing that rhythm has a central place in Woolf's writing practice, prose style and theories of writing, the essay…
