This study demonstrates that while pairwise go/no-go magnitude comparison tasks reliably engage relative numerical magnitude processing, they do not consistently produce a general small-left/large-right spatial compatibility effect, with such spatial patterns emerging only under specific task conditions and stimulus types.
This paper presents a theoretically informed design framework, developed and refined through interdisciplinary synthesis and pilot applications in Maltese primary schools, which provides practical guidance for transforming constrained urban school grounds into effective nature-based learning environments that foster children's connectedness with nature through ecologically purposeful design, sensory-rich affordances, and strong stakeholder support.
This mixed-methods study reconstructs the migration trajectories of 634 Hadiya returnees from South Africa, revealing that their movements are structured, socially organized systems dominated by a Southern Corridor route and shaped by economic inequality, broker guidance, and safety concerns rather than spontaneous individual decisions.
This study demonstrates that missing information in pre-launch teaser advertising positively influences purchase intention primarily by triggering state epistemic curiosity, which acts as a significant mediator, rather than through a direct negative effect as previously hypothesized.
This cross-sectional study of 351 Chinese mother–adolescent dyads reveals that body weight dissatisfaction and social appearance anxiety are significantly linked to restrained eating both within individuals and across the dyad, with distinct gender-specific patterns showing stronger cross-partner influences in mother–daughter relationships compared to mother–son relationships.
