A particularly prized soft skill is communication, to which semantic verbal fluency (SVF) is an important contributor. Both the hardware and software models of cognitive reserve suggest that experience can lead to improved performance in cognitive tasks. This experiment sought to improve SVF through a short, crossword-based intervention. Thirty-four third-level students attempted a simple crossword daily for 4 weeks, while 40 served as a control group. Analysis indicated that the crossword group experienced greater improvement in SVF than did the control group. Simple crosswords may prove a straightforward means of improving SVF in this population.","PeriodicalId":91174,"journal":{"name":"The Irish journal of psychology","volume":"33 1","pages":"193-198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03033910.2012.714709","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59315141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study attempted to rectify this omission by conducting an experiment in which both the type of irrelevant sound (quiet, similar numbers, dissimilar numbers and non-number speech) and the difficulty of problems (easy and hard) were revealed to affect addition mental arithmetic performance. Specifically, hard problems were solved less often than easy problems and, more importantly, a number similarity effect was observed such that similar irrelevant numbers impaired performance more than dissimilar irrelevant numbers. Results and future research are discussed with respect to both the mental arithmetic and semantic auditory literatures.","PeriodicalId":91174,"journal":{"name":"The Irish journal of psychology","volume":"33 1","pages":"181-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03033910.2012.723194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59315175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fostering of a positive self-concept and closer parental monitoring of school involvement are two of the suggested mechanisms by which parenting style may affect educational achievement. In recent years, much research has tended to focus on adolescents and there is considerably less information for middle childhood. This paper looks at the role of maternal parenting style (based on child-reports) on academic achievement for a large sample of 9-year-old children who took part in the Growing Up in Ireland study. It shows that an authoritative parenting style was associated with higher scores on measures of reading and maths relative to neglectful or uninvolved styles, however the expected advantage over an authoritarian parenting style did not emerge (and tended to reverse post-adjustment for mediators), and other socio-demographic character...","PeriodicalId":91174,"journal":{"name":"The Irish journal of psychology","volume":"23 1","pages":"137-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03033910.2012.724645","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59315188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They find some inferences easy, e.g., ‘there is a circle, therefore there is a triangle’, and others difficult, e.g., ‘there is no triangle, therefore there is no circle’. We report an experiment that applies attention switching methods to reasoning from counterfactuals, e.g., ‘if there had been a circle, there would have been a triangle’. The results show that even the simplest inference is adversely affected if reasoners must switch attention from a preceding difficult inference. Asymmetrical inference switching costs occur not only for indicative but also for counterfactual conditionals: the easy inference takes longer when reasoners must switch attention from the difficult one compared to when they switch attention from another easy one; the difficult inference remains difficult whether reasoners switch from an easy or difficult inference.","PeriodicalId":91174,"journal":{"name":"The Irish journal of psychology","volume":"33 1","pages":"72-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03033910.2012.708897","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59315396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first-line treatment for ADHD is psycho-stimulant medication. However, these can have limited effectiveness, particularly in adults, and are often associated with adverse side-effects. It is thus imperative that new non-pharmaceutical approaches to treatment are developed. This study aims to combine psychoeducation with skin-conductance biofeedback to train adults with ADHD to increase their arousal. The training focuses on everyday problems of inattentiveness and impulse control and participants identify goals to which they learn to apply self-initiated alerting techniques. Participants are assessed at baseline, immediately following the 5-week training period, and after 3 months. Pre- and post-training goals ratings are also recorded. Research methods and preliminary outcomes are presented.","PeriodicalId":91174,"journal":{"name":"The Irish journal of psychology","volume":"33 1","pages":"86-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03033910.2012.708899","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59315450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten participants, five male and five female bereaved by the suicide of a close family member, completed a qualitative questionnaire on postvention experiences. Postvention activities are defined as those which are helpful, supportive and appropriate for individuals bereaved by suicide. Postvention is regarded by some as prevention for the future. Losing a close friend or family member by suicide is often one of many features which are considered risk factors in assessing suicidality in an individual. Survivors are susceptible to a range of mental health difficulties, including further suicidal ideation. Many studies on postvention have focused on grief and pathologies, as opposed to highlighting the aspects of impact, coping and latterly, the potential for psychological survival and transformation.

The intervention group wrote (20 minutes/day for 3 days) about their thoughts and feelings regarding their MI, and the control group wrote about daily activities a year previous to their MI. The outcome measure was HRQOL, and the moderating variables examined were psychological distress, Type D personality and coping.

Current knowledge regarding neuropathology of awareness is discussed, highlighting the widespread locations and connections within the brain that are implicated in awareness. Clinical practice promotes a client-centred approach to rehabilitation that acknowledges the multiple contributing factors of ISA post-ABI.
