Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the psychological benefits of digital and paper-based cognitive training in users with a lack of technological knowledge and a low level of education.

Design/methodology/approach

In total, 60 individuals (Mage = 78.38; SDage = 9.15) attending a day center were recruited to complete a cognitive training program, 30 of them in digital format. They were all assessed on cognitive skills, technological knowledge and depressive symptomatology before and after the training. Regardless of age, education and technological knowledge, all participants completed the respective cognitive training program.

Findings

The results of this study indicate that it is feasible to use both digital and paper-based tasks in cognitive training for individuals aged over 60, with low levels of education and digital literacy. Although different, in both cases it will be possible to obtain cognitive benefits.

Research limitations/implications

Cognitive training with digital or paper-based material can facilitate visual mnesic processing. Both visual and verbal skills can be trained through other non-digital materials.

Originality/value

This study contributes to understanding the benefits of both types of materials used in working with older people.

Abstract

Everyday conversation has not yet been assigned its full role in public discussion of citizen’s issues, despite the growing number of studies about it. Casual conversations are not usually regarded as a particularly privileged place for political discussions mainly because of its apparent lack of organization following the principles and rules of the deliberative tradition in Political Studies. However, due to its closeness, informality, and personal proximity, it is particularly adequate to rise political aspects of everyday lives that otherwise would not be publicly disclosed. But how to grasp the spontaneity of everyday conversation? This chapter argues that focus groups, as a research method, are fit to observe and understand real-time ordinary conversation on political issues. In what follows, the argument goes threefold: (1) it contrasts “conversation” with “deliberation” from a micro-point of view; (2) all conversation, as a discourse embroiled in power relations, is political in a broad sense (3) as it brings forward personal views and experiences, casual conversations defies the borders between public and private issues.
