The experiences of pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and their parents at pre-transition from primary to post-primary school have received little attention in the literature. current study investigated these using a mixed methods approach within Irish educational system. Thirty-two SEN 42 participated focus groups, also completed questionnaire which qualitatively complemented parental groups. Emergent themes for included: things I will miss; fitting performing as well others;...
Vaccination uptake is a complex behavior, influenced by numerous factors. Behavioral science theories are commonly used to explain the psychosocial determinants of an individual's health behavior. This study examined behavioural, cognitive, and emotional COVID-19 vaccination intention based on well-established theoretical models: Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour (COM-B) Health Belief Model (HBM). Additionally, it mediating role institutional...
Background Impulsivity, broadly characterized as the tendency to act prematurely without foresight, is linked alcohol misuse in college students. However, impulsivity a multidimensional construct and different subdomains likely underlie patterns of misuse. Here, we quantified association between intoxication frequency consumption choice, action, cognitive, trait domains impulsivity. Methods University student drinkers ( n = 106) completed battery demographic alcohol‐related items, well...
The subject matter of neuroscience research is complex, and synthesising the wealth data from this to better understand mental processes challenging. A useful strategy, therefore, may be distinguish explicitly between causal effects environment on behaviour (i.e. functional analyses) that mediate these cognitive analyses). In article, we describe how functional-cognitive (F-C) framework can accelerate also advance a treatment brain activity. We first highlight particularly benefit F-C...
Despite substantial health benefits, smoking cessation attempts have high relapse rates. Neuroimaging measures can sometimes predict individual differences in substance use phenotypes – including better than behavioral metrics alone. No study to date has compared the relative prediction ability of changes psychological processes across prolonged abstinence with corresponding brain activity. Here, a longitudinal design, measurements were made one day prior cessation, and at 1 4 weeks...
The challenges of developing a fully inclusive learning environment were brought to the fore through shift emergency remote teaching during Covid-19 pandemic and served highlight many inequalities deficiencies meeting learners’ needs in traditional practice. Fortunately, framework exists support enhancement this space; Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL consists set principles curriculum development that aims afford diverse learners equal opportunities learn by providing more flexible...
