A year ago, I started following how the cost of living crisis was playing out at an Oldham school, checking in with the fantastic @NewmanRC_Head every few weeks. I ended up learning a lot about the British state, and its education system, to boot. on.ft.com/3KYWPWv

Very pleased that my paper with @fionamcnab3 and Bethany Copeland is out! We found that older people who played puzzle games, like Wordle and Candy Crush Saga, had higher working memory and distraction resistance. (1/2)
New paper out! "Higher working memory capacity and distraction-resistance associated with strategy (not action) game playing in younger adults, but puzzle game playing in older adults" authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
