Current Issue: Term 4, 2011

This issue's feature article is
"Does martial arts training teach self control?". From the article:

"The answer, like most things to do with human behaviour, is not simple. The short answer would be, "yes it can, but it can also do more harm"... The importance of the instructor cannot be over emphasised."

Also in this issue:

  • "Working Memory Training" - discusses what working memory is, and presents the cogmed training program as an evidence-based intervention to assist in the improvement of working memory.
  • "The Effect of Music on Studying" - looks at the results of research studies into the effects, and the recommendations from them.
