‘Over behind him, where all this swampland drained into the Pacific, were dunes, shifting sand held together with purple-flowering pigweed and silvery scrub; then the surf – miles of it. You could walk for hours beside its hissing white and never see a soul. Just great flocks of gulls, and pie-eyed oyster-catchers flitting over the wet light, stopping, starting off again, not at random but after tiny almost transparent crabs, and leaving sharp, three-toed prints.

‘He had a map of all this clearly in his head, as if in every moment of [his] lying here flat on his belly watching some patch of it for a change of shape or colour that would be a small body betraying itself, he were also seeing it from high up, like the hawk, or that fellow in his flying machine. he moved always on these two levels, through these two worlds: the flat world of individual grassblades, seen so close-up that they blurred, where the ground-feeders darted about striking at worms, and the long view in which all this part of the country was laid out like a relief-map in the Shire Office – surf, beach, swampland, wet paddocks, dry, forested hill-slopes, jagged blue peaks. Each section of it supported its own birdlife; the territorial borders of each kind were laid out there, invisible but clear, which the birds were free to cross but didn’t; they stayed for the most part within strict limits. They stayed. Then at last, when the time came, they upped and left; flew off in groups, or in couples or alone, to where they came from and lived in the other part of the year, far out over the earth’s rim, or in China or in Europe.

‘Holding one of them in the glasses he was aware of that also. This creature that I could catch so easily in my hands, feeling the heart beat and the strong wings flutter against my palms, has been further and higher even than that clumsy plane. It has been to Siberia. It’s tiny, quick eye has seen something big. A whole half of the earth.‘

YouTube continues to push for exemption to social media ban© Nine

Children who use social media more often are likely to have lower cognitive function than their peers, a new US study has claimed.

The study, published in the JAMA network¹ found children who increased their social media use between the ages of nine and 13 performed worse than their kids with less social media usage.

Thousands of kids were categorised into groups based on their social media usage, and then tasked with completing a range of memory, reading and vocabulary tests to chart whether social media usage impacted cognitive abilities.

For example, children with zero or low social media usage scored an average of 103.5 in an oral reading recognition test, whilst kids with low increasing usage and high increasing usage scored 99.4 and 96.7, respectively.

The study found social media usage remains low at the age of nine, but increases dramatically as kids turn 12 years old and enter high school.

“This analysis found that both low and high increases in social media use throughout early adolescence were significantly associated with lower performance in specific aspects of cognitive function,” the authors of the study wrote.

“The finding that even low levels of early adolescent social media exposure were linked to poorer cognitive performance may suggest support for stricter age restrictions.”

The findings come as Australia prepares to implement its world-first social media ban on children under the age of 16.

Communications Minister Anika Wells fronted media today to launch an advertising campaign ahead of the ban being enforced from December 10.

Wells claimed it was important for kids impacted by the ban to watch the campaign to get a greater understanding as to why it is going ahead.

¹AI Overview

A study published in JAMA Network found that children who significantly increased their social media use between the ages of nine and 13 generally performed worse academically compared to those who used social media less, suggesting a potential negative correlation between increased social media usage during this developmental period and academic performance. 

Key points about the study:

• Focus on age group: The study specifically looked at children between the ages of nine and 13, a crucial period for social and academic development. 
• Increased social media use: The study found that children who increased their social media usage over time showed a decline in academic performance compared to those who did not increase their use as much. 
• Potential negative impact: The findings suggest that excessive social media use during this developmental stage may negatively impact academic outcomes. 

Important considerations:

• Correlation not causation: While the study shows an association between increased social media use and lower academic performance, it does not prove a direct causal relationship. Other factors could be contributing to the observed trend.
• Individual differences: Not all children will experience negative effects from social media use, as individual responses can vary depending on personality and usage patterns.

² 9th century Icelandic

 ℐ DECIDED TO SPEAK TO MY FATHER. Not because we were particularly close. My father was undemonstrative, and could neither share his feelings with his children, nor deal with the feelings we had for him. For a long time [i] believed there must be a wealth of undiscovered treasure behind that uncommunicative manner, but later [i] wondered if there was anything behind it at all. Perhaps he had been full of emotions as a boy or a young man, and by giving them no outlet had allowed them over the years to wither and die.

But it was because of the distance between us that [i] sought him out now. I wanted to talk to the philosopher who had written about Kant and Hegel, and who had, [i] knew, occupied himself with moral issues. He should be well positioned to explore my problem in the abstract, and, unlike my friends, to avoid getting trapped in the inadequacies of my examples.

When we children wanted to speak to our father, he gave us appointments just like his students. He worked at home and only went to the university to give lectures and seminars. Colleagues and students who wished to speak to him came to see him at home. I remember queues of students leaning against the wall in the corridor and waiting their turn, some reading, some looking at the views of cities hanging in the corridor, others staring into space, all of them silent except for an embarrassed greeting when we children went down the corridor and said hello. We ourselves didn’t have to wait in the hall when our father had made an appointment with us. But we too had to be at his door at the appointed time and knock to be admitted.

I knew two of my father’s studies. The windows in the first one, in which Hanna had run her fingers along the books, looked out onto the streets and houses. The windows in the second looked out along the plain over the Rhine. [The house we moved to in the early 1960s, and where my parents stayed after we had grown up, was on a big hill above the city. In both places the window did not open the room to the world beyond, but framed and hung the world in it like a picture. My father’s study was a capsule in which books, paper, thoughts, and pipe and cigar smoke had created their own force field, different from that of the outside world.]

My father allowed me to present my problem in its abstract form and with my examples. ‘It has to do with the trial, doesn’t it?’ But he shook his head to show that he didn’t expect an answer, or want to press me or hear anything that [i] wasn’t ready to tell him of my own accord. Then he sat, head to one side, hands gripping the arms of his chair, and thought. He didn’t look at me. I studied him, his grey hair, his face, carelessly shaven as always, the deep lines between his eyes and from his nostrils to the corners of his mouth. I waited.

[When he answered he went all the way back to first principles. He instructed me about the individual, about freedom and dignity, about the human being as subject and the fact that no one may turn him into an object. Don’t you remember how furious you would get as a little boy when Mama knew best what was good for you? Even how far one can act like this with children is a real problem. It is a philosophical problem, but philosophy does not concern itself with children. It leaves them to pedagogy, where they’re not in very good hands. Philosophy has forgotten about children.’ He smiled at me. ‘Forgotten them forever, not just sometimes, the way I forget about you.‘

[‘But…‘

[‘But with adults i unfortunately see no justification for setting other people’s views of what is good for them above their own ideas of what is good for themselves.‘

[‘Not even if they themselves would be happy about it later?‘

[He shook his head. ‘We’re not talking about happiness, we’re talking about dignity and freedom. Even as a little boy, you knew the difference. It was no comfort to you that your mother was always right.’]

Today [i] like thinking back on that conversation with my father. I had forgotten about it until after his death, when [i] began to search the depths of my memory for happy encounters and shared activities and experiences with him. When [i] found it, I was both amazed and delighted. [At the time [i] was confused by my father’s mixing of abstraction and concreteness. But eventually [i] sorted out what he had said to mean that [i] did not have to speak to the judge, that indeed [i] had no right to speak to him, and was relieved.

[My father saw my relief. ‘So do you like philosophy?’

‘Well, [i] didn’t know if one had to act in the circumstances [i] described, and [i] wasn’t really happy with the idea that one must, and if one really isn’t allowed to do anything at all, [i] find that…’ I didn’t know what to say. A relief. A comfort? Appealing? That didn’t sound like morality and responsibility. ‘I think that’s good’ would have sounded moral and responsible, but [i] couldn’t say [i] thought it was good, that [i] thought it was any more than a relief.]

‘Appealing?’my father suggested.

I nodded and shrugged my shoulders.

[‘No, your problem has no appealing solution. Of course one must act if the situation as you describe it is one of accrued or inherited responsibility. If one knows what is good for another person who in turn is blind to it, then one must try to open his eyes. One has to leave him the last word, but one must talk to him – to him and not to someone behind his back.’]

Talk to Hanna? What would I say to her? That I had seen through her lifelong lie? That she was in the process of sacrificing her whole life to this silly lie? That the lie wasn’t worth the sacrifice? That that was why she should fight not to remain in prison any longer than she had to, because there was so much she could still do with her life afterwards. Could i deprive her of her lifelong lie, without opening some vision of the future to her? I had no idea what that might be, nor did [i] know how to face her and say anything at all. I didn’t know how to face her.

I asked my father: ‘And what if you can’t talk to him?’

He looked at me doubtfully, and i knew that that question was beside the point. There was nothing more to moralise about. I just had to make a decision.

[‘I haven’t been able to help you.’ My father stood up and so did [i]. ‘No, you don’t have to go, it’s just that my back hurts.’ He stood bent over, with his hands pressed against his kidneys. ‘I can’t say I’m sorry I can’t help you. As a philosopher, I mean, which is how you were addressing me. As your father, I find the experience of not being able to help you almost unbearable.’]

I waited, but he didn’t say anything else. I though he was making it easy on himself: I knew when he could have taken care of us more and how he could have helped us more. then [i] thought that perhaps he realised this himself and found it really difficult to bear. But either way [i] had nothing to say to him. I was embarrassed, and had the feeling he was embarrassed too.

‘Well then..’

‘You can come any time.’ My father looked at me.

I didn’t believe him, and nodded.

BARBARA ARROWSMITH YOUNG

..Canadian author, entrepreneur and lecturer. She is the founder of the Arrowsmith School in Toronto and the controversial Arrowsmith Program which forms the basis of the school’s teaching method. In 2012 she published The Woman Who Changed Her Brain which combines an autobiographical account of her own severe learning disabilities and the method she developed to overcome them with case studies of learning disabled children who she claims overcame similar problems by using her method.

Arrowsmith Young was born in Toronto on November 28, 1951, to Jack and Barbara Young. Her father was an electrical engineer who worked for Canadian General Electric. Her mother was a teacher. As a child she had exceptional visual and auditory memory, but it was coupled with several severe deficits in other areas, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and problems with spatial reasoning, logic, and kinesthetic perception. With the help of her mother she eventually achieved basic literacy and numeracy. However, she struggled throughout elementary and high school.

Despite her learning difficulties, she graduated with a B.A.Sc in child studies from the University of Guelphin 1974. After graduating she worked for two years as the head teacher of the university’s laboratory preschool before embarking on a master’s degree in applied psychology at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). She completed her Masters dissertation, A follow up study of a clinical sample, in 1982.^[4] It examined the progress of 62 students who had been previously assessed as learning disabled at the OISE’s education clinic^.

In 1977 she had met Joshua Cohen, a PhD student at OISE who also had learning disabilities and ran a small clinic for learning disabled children. Cohen introduced her to the work of Alexander Luria. According to Arrowsmith Young, Luria’s 1971 book The Man with the Shattered World which documented the recovery under his treatment of the brain-injured soldier Lev Zasetsky was profoundly influential on her, as was the work of Mark Rosenzweig on neuroplasticity. Using the ideas of Luria and Rosenzweig, she began developing a series of exercises in 1978 which she states finally helped to overcome her learning disabilities^.

Arrowsmith Young and Cohen married in 1980 and opened the Arrowswmith School for learning disabled children in Toronto that same year. Its curriculum was based on the exercises which Arrowsmith Young had developed for herself and which came to be known as the Arrowsmith Program. She named the school after her paternal grandmother (born Louie May Arrowsmith in 1883), who as a young girl had been one of the pioneer settlers of Creston, British Columbia. The Toronto school gradually expanded and in 1991 she and Cohen opened a second school in Brooklyn, New York. The Toronto branch was wound down and closed. However, the New York school folded a few years later, and in 1994, Arrowsmith Young and Cohen’s marriage ended. She returned to Toronto and re-opened the original school. Cohen remained in New York and died there in 2000.

The Arrowsmith Program

The re-opened Arrowsmith School in Toronto attracted increasing numbers of students and eventually opened other branches. The Arrowsmith Program was also franchised to other private schools and in some public ones as well. In 2012 she published The Woman Who Changed Her Brain, an autobiographical account of how she overcame her own severe learning disabilities combined with 30 case studies of learning disabled children who she says overcame similar problems by using her method.^[8][9]

Her method, which was the subject of a 2008 CBC documentary Fixing My Brain, has proved controversial. Psychiatrist Norman Doidge devoted one of the chapters in his book, The Brain That Changes Itself, to Arrowsmith Young and described her approach as “an important discovery”.^[3] However, the Arrowsmith Program has been criticized by several  neuroscientists, psychologists and cognitive scientists, including Anne Castles, Max Coltheart, Pamela Snow, Emma Burrows and Linda Siegel, for basing its claims on anecdotal evidence. They have noted that there have been no peer-reviewed studies published or the use of randomized controlled trials to evaluate whether it is actually more effective than any other “brain training” programs, such as the Dore Programand Brain Gym, which they have also criticized for the same reasons.

Additionally, other experts, including clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist Tim Hannan, speech pathologists Alison Clarke and Caroline Bowen, and at least one human rights tribunal have made similar concerns, citing lack of evidence and improper tests on the program. Clarke even argues the program to be based on pseudoscientific methodology.

Robert Shepard, a clinical psychologist with 25 years of private practice, forensic and family health team experience, as well as a critic of Norman Doidge and his work, makes a ten-point argument against the Arrowsmith Program. Explaining each point in short essay format, he argues that these are essential to marketing a product when no evidence exists that it actually works.

Ch⑤ The Case

“Senior Inspector Pierce is a widower, aged thirty-nine, with two small boys.. and has two full-time assistants. One of them, following on a petition to the Department from local women’s groups, is a woman.”

Ch ⑱ in full

“Now that the number of victims has reached the magic figure of a century there are seven identikit pictures, and the strange thing is that they are no longer the cliches of three months ago; each of them has now developed a distinctive character. What we are faced with, it seems, is seven prowlers, all working in the same strictly defined area and using the same methods.

“This surely is too much of a coincidence. The work of a prowler begins to look like the cooperative efforts of a gang; except of course that by their very nature these crimes are private and solitary. Or perhaps a club has been formed to act out the assaults as they have been described in the newspaper. A bizarre notion! Who would devise such an entertainment and why? Still, imitators there are, and more than one of them. Of this the police have no doubt.

“And how does the prowler himself feel about this, the original prowler, I mean, the initiator, whose integrity consists in his commitment to his own crimes? How strange if his path should cross that of one of the others, if they should meet face to face over the body of a victim; or stranger still, if two of the false prowlers should meet, each just sufficientltly like the original to be recognizable but each seeing in the other enough that is different to make clear how much of themselves they have allowed to creep in, to what an extent they are no longer imitators of the prowler but significant variants. If two of the false prowlers were captured would there be enough in common between them for the real prowler to be identified? And supposing all seven to be taken, would it be clear which of them was real? All seven, as the police know, would lay claim to the first attack, might even create a prior one, in order not to be deprived of the rest. (Perhaps one might guess that the least insistent of them, assured of his authenticity, would be the true original.) This is clear from the large number of men who have already come forth and confessed to the crimes. Men of all ages and occupations, from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy to a retired ship-builder of seventy-seven: widowers, pensioners, young men newly married, metho-drinkers, known homosexuals – all desperate, it would seem, to have the prowler’s acts define them.

“Some of these men simply want to draw attention to themselves. Others have become obsessed with the assaults and long to be their perpetrator, to appropriate to themselves the daring, the fierce aura of sexuality they believe the prowler must be possessed of, his deepest sense of relief when, returning to his own house, he stands naked before the mirror and says ‘Yes, I am the prowler’, or, concealing his violence behind a front of patient domesticity, slips in quietly beside his wife.

“There are those among these men who genuinely believe they are the prowler. Faced under the glare of the arc-lamps with indisputable proof they are not, they break down and sob, they plead with Senior Detective Pierce to examine the evidence again, to find something, some small detail, that will convict them; they resist, they fight, they clutch at straws. Senior Detective Pierce finds these men pathetic. Of all the men in the suburb, they alone are above suspicion,since the one thing they lack (what else does their behaviour mean?) is the courage to commit the crime.

“As for the others, the self-confessed prowlers who know they are lying, Senior Detective Pierce has begun to dread their arrival, more even than a new victim. Each of them has a bad conscience. Confessing to the prowler’s crimes is a kind of diversion tactic. It is meant to save them from confessing to the real crime they have committed – or think they have committed. They are the men who are laden with guilt, who hope that punishment and conviction for one crime, even if it is not their own, will be sufficient and will relieve them of
dread. the real crime, in some cases, is trivial, the anxiety is not. And it is the weight of all this secret guilt that Senior Detective Pierce finds so oppressive, since he cannot absolve the men of it, and could not, even if he were to extend to them the one thing in his dispensation, the recognition that the prowler’s crimes are theirs. Faces with the men’s despair when he declares them innocent, their deep sense of grievance, their sullen hostility, Senior Detective Pierce, on one or two occasions, has come close to breaking down. He has been trained to deal with crime – specific incidents – not with deep, unspecified guilt.

“Still, information about all these men is fed into the computer; thy become part of Senior Detective Pierce’s memory bank. Even if they did not commit the prowler’s crimes, they reflect them. Only when all the facts had been collated, and many things that are not facts as well, will some sort of pattern emerge.

“But when will that be? And what pattern?

“Senior Detective Pierce has come to believe, as the number of victims continues to rise and the identikit pictures top thirteen, that sooner or later the whole male and female population of the suburb will find its way into his files, every man a potential prowler, every female a victim. And then what?”
