Performance on the task-switching paradigm is greatly affected by the amount of conflict between tasks. Compared to adults, children appear to be particularly influenced by this conflict, suggesting that the ability to resolve interference between ta...

Automated re-typesetting, indexing and content enhancement for scanned marriage registers (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brailsford, D. F. (2009). Automated re-typesetting, indexing and content enhancement for scanned marriage registers.

For much of England and Wales marriage registers began to be kept in 1537. The marriage details were recorded locally, and in longhand, until 1st July 1837, when central records began. All registers were kept in the local parish church.
In the perio... Read More about Automated re-typesetting, indexing and content enhancement for scanned marriage registers.
