The impact of perfectionism, sleep quality, resilience, nature contact, mobile phone use and sense of community on young people’s mental health in the UK
The mental health of young people has become a growing concern, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study assesses contemporary predictors of anxiety and depression in university students aged 18–25 years, focusing on six key predictor variables: sleep quality, resilience, perfectionism, sense of community, nature contact, and mobile phone use. 185 undergraduate students completed validated psychometric measures for eac…
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 …
Are two words recalled or recognised as one? How age-of-acquisition affects memory for compound words
The age at which a person acquires knowledge of an item is a strong predictor of item retrieval, hereon defined as the Age of Acquisition (AoA) effect. This effect is such that early-acquired words are processed more quickly and accurately than late-acquired items. One account to explain this effect is the integrated account, where the AoA effect occurs in the early processes of lexical retrieval and hence should increase in tasks necessitating g…
The impact of access to electricity on mental health in conflict-affected territories
BACKGROUND: Access to affordable and clean energy is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals and a determinant of physical and mental health. However, the occupied Palestinian territory, the Gaza Strip, has experienced prolonged issues with electricity, water and gas supplies. This has significantly impacted on daily life and the area is on the verge of disaster. This research focused on the mental health effects of the lack o…
The Influence of Perfectionism, Self-Esteem and Resilience on Young People’s Mental Health
The current study explored whether maladaptive perfectionism and low self-esteem constituted reliable risk factors of student mental illness, as well as determining whether resilience moderates these predictive relationships. 434 University undergraduate students were recruited. Depression and anxiety were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7). Perfectionism, self-esteem and re…
Effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on mental health in a UK student sample
This research suggests that COVID-19 has had a major impact upon student mental health, and smartphone addiction. The importance of identifying predictive factors of depression and anxiety is emphasised, and suggestions for intervention are discussed
Age of acquisition effects in recognition without identification tasks
The Age of Acquisition (AoA) effect results in early-acquired words being processed more quickly and accurately than later-acquired words. This effect is argued to result from a gradual development of semantic representations and a changing neural network throughout development (Chang, Y.-N., Monaghan, P., & Welbourne, S., 2019). Some forms of the Recognition Without Identification (RWI) effects have been observed at a perceptual level. The prese…
The hunt for the age of acquisition effect
Age of acquisition effects on an object-name verification task
Naming latencies for words, objects and faces have been shown to be affected by the age at which an item is acquired (AoA). Originally, this effect was explained in terms of differential access to name representations. However, a number of recent studies have found AoA effects in tasks which do not require access to names (e.g. Brysbaert, Van Wijnendaele, & De Deynes, 2000; Lewis, 1999; Moore, Smith Spark, & Valentine, 2004; Moore & Valentine, 19…
