Towards Female Empowerment. The New Generation of Irish Women Poets: Vona Groarke, SinĆ©ad Morrissey, CaitrĆona OāReilly and Mary OāDonoghue
The monographic study āTowards Female Empowerment ā The New Generation of Irish Women Poets: Vona Groarke, SinĆ©ad Morrissey, CaĆtriona OāReilly, and Mary OāDonoghueā analyses in depth the poetry written by four most significant Irish authors born in the 1970s. Together with insightful interpretations of the explored poetry, it offers a new reading of philosophy, social and cultural studies, and psychology connected with the subject matter of womenās empowerment. The book constitutes a thought-provoking debate on the up-to-date issues that need to be critically re-examined and re-thought these days. It is an inspiring reading for people interested not only in Irish poetry but in modern literature in general.I have dedicated this monograph to my Mother whose unremitting and unfailing support āempoweredā me to work on this book. Many thanks to my fiancĆ© for not losing faith in me and for his patience. Over the years, while conducting my research on contemporary Irish womenās poets, I have encountered many inspiring and helpful people to whom I am sincerely indebted for their advice, wisdom and encouragement. With regard to this book, my special thanks are directed to Michaela Schrage-FrĆ¼h, her husband David and Frederic for their hospitality and kindness. I would like to thank PrzemysÅaw Ostalski for his help with typesetting of the book, and Richard OāCallaghan Ph.D. for proofreading of the earlier versions of the text. Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Jerzy Jarniewicz for inspiring me to read poetry

Do children use different forms of verbal rehearsal in serial picture recall tasks? A multi-method study
Use of verbal rehearsal is a key issue in memory development. However, we still lack detailed and triangulated information about the early development and the circumstances in which different forms of rehearsal are used. To further understand significant factors that affect childrenās use of various forms of rehearsal, the present study involving 108 primary school children adopted a multi-method approach. It combined a carefully chosen word length effect method with a self-paced presentation time method to obtain behavioural indicators of verbal rehearsal. In addition, subsequent trial-by-trial self-reports were gathered. Word length effects in recall suggested that phonological recoding (converting images to names - a necessary precursor for rehearsal) took place, with evidence of more rehearsal among children with higher performance levels. According to self-paced presentation times, cumulative rehearsal was the dominant form of rehearsal only for children with higher spans on difficult trials. The combined results of self-paced times and word length effects in recall suggest that ānamingā as simple form of rehearsal was dominant for most children. Self-reports were in line with these conclusions. Additionally, children used a mixture of strategies with considerable intra-individual variability, yet strategy use was nevertheless linked to age as well as performance levels
