27Evaluating the Theoretic Adequacy and Applied Potential of Computational Models of the Spacing EffectCognitive Science 42 (S3): 644-691. 2018.The spacing effect is among the most widely replicated empirical phenomena in the learning sciences, and its relevance to education and training is readily apparent. Yet successful applications of spacing effect research to education and training is rare. Computational modeling can provide the crucial link between a century of accumulated experimental data on the spacing effect and the emerging interest in using that research to enable adaptive instruction. In this paper, we review relevant lite…Read more

13Action Research—a Necessary Complement to Traditional Health Science?Health Care Analysis 16 (2): 127-144. 2008.There is continuing interest in action research in health care. This is despite action researchers facing major problems getting support for their projects from mainstream sources of R&D funds partly because its validity is disputed and partly because it is difficult to predict or evaluate and is therefore seen as risky. In contrast traditional health science dominates and relies on compliance with strictly defined scientific method and rules of accountability. Critics of scientific health care …Read more

27Mechanisms for Robust CognitionCognitive Science 39 (6): 1131-1171. 2015.To function well in an unpredictable environment using unreliable components, a system must have a high degree of robustness. Robustness is fundamental to biological systems and is an objective in the design of engineered systems such as airplane engines and buildings. Cognitive systems, like biological and engineered systems, exist within variable environments. This raises the question, how do cognitive systems achieve similarly high degrees of robustness? The aim of this study was to identify …Read more

11New Rituals for Old: Nursing Through the Looking GlassButterworth-Heinemann Medical. 1994.In this sequel to their highly successful 'Nursing Rituals, Research and Rational Actions', the innovative & challenging approach adopted by the authors is pursued further.

Well referenced, this accessible book is for practising nurses, managers & educationalists, as well as diploma & degree students.

7Communicating public health during COVID-19, implications for vaccine rolloutBig Data and Society 8 (1). 2021.A large body of information and opinion related to COVID-19 is being shared via social media platforms. Recent reports have raised concerns about the reliability and verifiability of said information being disseminated and the way systems, processes and design of the platforms facilitates such spread. This, alongside other areas of concern, has resulted in several social media platforms taking steps towards tackling the spread of mis- and dis-information. Here we discuss approaches to online pub…Read more

7The Relationship of Freedom to the Acquisition, Possession, and Exercise of VirtueThe Paideia Archive: Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 44 272-276. 1998.There are three common objections that any broadly Aristotelian virtue theorist must face, insofar as he or she holds that acts must be performed from a firm and stable disposition in order to express virtue, and that virtue is in some way a praiseworthy fulfillment of human potential. Each of these objections accuses the virtuous person of not fully exercising his or her rationality and freedom, and thus of being somehow less than fully human.

15Mindfulness as a Buffer of Leaders’ Self-Rated Behavioral Responses to Emotional Exhaustion: A Dual Process Model of Self-RegulationFrontiers in Psychology 9 403001. 2018.In this study we use dual process theory of self-regulation to develop a framework that outlines the mediating and moderating mechanisms explaining the relationship between leader emotional exhaustion and leadership style (transformational leadership and abusive supervision). Using Glomb et al.’s (2011) framework, we identify empathy and negative emotion as mediators that are of particular importance for leaders. In addition, we propose that leader mindfulness moderates these processes to improv…Read more

Freedom and the Legitimacy of Moral Education: Philosophical Reflections on Aristotle and RousseauDissertation, University of Notre Dame. 1998.Many contemporary political philosophers, such as Amy Gutmann and Bruce Ackerman, take it for granted that education to promote freedom must always be in tension with education to promote commitment to any particular form of virtue. Aristotle and Rousseau, however, claimed precisely the opposite: that mature freedom requires methods of moral education designed to mold the inclinations and beliefs of children. Despite the fact that Aristotle and Rousseau present very different conceptions of free…Read more
