Ryan wins the Australian Psychological Society Award

We are thrilled to announce that one of our Junior School teachers, Ryan Naylor has received the prestigious 2024 APS Altmetrics Award. This award recognises the significant attention, influence, and impact of a journal article, and we couldn’t be prouder of this remarkable achievement.

Last year, Ryan’s teacher’s journal article, titled “Rest Breaks Aid Directed Attention and Learning”, was published in the Educational and Developmental Psychologist. This insightful research, based on their honours work, has garnered considerable recognition in the academic community.

The award-winning article can be accessed here.

In addition to the honor of the award, the article will now be featured in the Australian Journal of Psychology, Australian Psychologist, and Clinical Psychologist. It will be available for free download as open access for the next 12 months, allowing a wider audience to benefit from this valuable research.
