Feast as a dog's dinner
Article Abstract:
The UK Arts in Schools project proposes that generic arts comprise a part of the school curriculum, and this concept is attractive on grounds of economy both of money and of staff. Some local education authorities have replaced inspectors of separate arts such as music and art by a single arts inspector. The concept is however unclear, possibly a reason for its survival. Advocates say a general artistic understanding can be developed by any art form, single or in combination. It is argued that very different arts such as playing music and painting all involve similar processes of creation.

Judging event covariation: effects of age and memory demand
Article Abstract:
Young adults are more accurate at event covariation judgement compared to older adults. A reduction in memory for the frequency of event combinations and more frequent use of simple judgement strategies are the primary reason for the difference in accuracy. The dependence on less efficient judgement strategies is due to a decrease in demand for cognitive resources while acquiring and integrating covariation information. Event covariation is necessary in human cognition areas such as learning, implicit personality theories, and attribution.
