Learner emotions and performance in hypercasual VR games with adaptive AI difficulty
Abstract Hypercasual virtual reality games (HVRGs) are widely regarded as cost‐effective tools for rapid skill acquisition, yet the mechanisms that optimise their effectiveness and user acceptance remain insufficiently explored. This mixed‐methods empirical study investigates how playful emotions, characterised by engagement, enjoyment and anxiety ...

Effects of Divided Attention at Retrieval on Conceptual Implicit Memory
This study investigated whether conceptual implicit memory is sensitive to process-specific interference at the time of retrieval. Participants performed the implicit memory test of category exemplar generation (Experiments 1 and 3), or the matched ...

Affective attention under cognitive load: reduced emotional biases but emergent anxiety-related costs to inhibitory control [PDF]
Trait anxiety is associated with deficits in attentional control, particularly in the ability to inhibit prepotent responses. Here, we investigated this effect while varying the level of cognitive load in a modified antisaccade task that employed ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem cells show promise for applications in regenerative medicine, but their scalability and yield remain challenges. This review explores the approaches for biophysical modulations within cell niches on EV properties, discusses the current clinical application of EVs, and provides an outlook on the existing ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Access to consciousness of briefly presented visual events is modulated by transcranial direct current stimulation of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [PDF]
Adaptive behaviour requires the ability to process goal-relevant events at the expense of irrelevant ones. However, perception of a relevant visual event can transiently preclude access to consciousness of subsequent events — a phenomenon called ...

ABSTRACT This systematic literature review (SLR), guided by the PSALSAR framework, investigates how corporate science‐based targets (SBTs) incorporate distributive justice, amid a growing shift of responsibility from public to private sectors. By analysing 96 articles published between 2015 and 2024, this SLR addresses a critical research gap in the ...

Local Anaphor Licensing in an SOV Language: Implications for Retrieval Strategies
Because morphological and syntactic constraints govern the distribution of potential antecedents for local anaphors, local antecedent retrieval might be expected to make equal use of both syntactic and morphological cues. However, previous research (e.g.,
