Research project: neurological functions of high-speed shorthand writingThe SRAA has started on a research project to assess the neurological functions of high-speed shorthand writing. The aim is to define the requisite attributes for candidates interested in training (for the candidate's sake as well as for the trainer's) and to map the cognitive and dextral abilities needed to be competent in verbatim shorthand writing to promote high-speed shorthand writing. Seed funding is provided by SRAA and Visionbytes. Research is being carried out by Dr Jonah Oliver, School of Human Movement Studies & School of Psychology, The University of Queensland. Kath Jones gave a setting-the-scene demonstration last Friday. Marketing machine shorthand careers The SRAA
