Changes in facial expression recognition and well-being over time
Facial occlusion effects on emotion recognition are well-documented; however, improvements in recognition over time and relations with mental health changes remain unclear. This longitudinal study examined changes in recognition of occluded emotional faces and mental health features in a Canadian cohort (N = 128). After 3–4 months, participants showed greater accuracy in recognising most expressions and faster reaction time (RT) for fearful but s…
The Garboldisham Macehead
The paper discusses the Garboldisham macehead: an unusual decorated macehead carved from red deer antler. The macehead was found in the 1960s deposited in a tributary of the river Little Ouse, Norfolk and is decorated with three spirals, making it especially significant. This paper reports on the analysis of the decoration using digital imaging, discusses a new radiocarbon date recently obtained for the artefact, and discusses its significance al…
She can see how much I actually do!’ Talking Mats®
People with dementia who feel included in decisions about their care show higher well-being and positive adjustment to accepting care than those who feel their family make decisions for them (Bourgeois, 1991).

Research examined whether the Talking Mats f…

Enabling people with dementia to continue to communicate their views, needs and preferences as their condition progresses is essential for development of person‐centred services and care facilities. This paper describes part of a 15‐month research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. It examined the effectiveness of Talking Mats, a low‐technology communication tool, to help people with dementia express their opinions, in comparison w…

Services have not always catered well for people with complex needs. The term ‘complex needs’ is used here to signify people who have cognitive impairments and communication difficulties that present major challenges for getting one's views and preferences heard and understood, and/or who may not fit into traditional categories of service provision. Current developments in policy and practice, such as the single shared assessment process, emphasi…
