Egocentric and allocentric spatial memory in healthy aging: performance on real-world tasks

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2019
Although normal aging has been related to several cognitive difficulties, other processes have been studied less, such as spatial memory. Our aim was to compare egocentric and allocentric memory in an elderly population using ecological tasks.

A Hero's Journey to Systemic Change: Developing Expertise in Agricultural Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experts in rural development and agrarian change wield considerable influence over programme design and delivery, directing resources and shaping trajectories towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet the pathways through which such expertise develops remain under‐examined. This study examines the journey to expertise among experts

Cultivating Sustainability: How Modern Food Practices Shape Pro‐Environmental Motivation Through Food–Nature Associations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food practices have evolved alongside industrialization and urbanization. Compared to earlier generations, modern individuals grow and cook food less often and consume more processed products, weakening awareness of food's natural origins. Three studies examined explanatory pathways linking food practices to pro‐environmentalism through the ...

What Does It Take? A Cross‐National Study Exploring Drivers for Willingness to Engage in Effortful Climate Action

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While much is known about what drives general participation in climate action, less is known about the drivers of actions that are explicitly linked to time, resource, or convenience constraints (i.e., effortful climate action). Understanding what drives effortful climate action is important to effectively tackle climate change, as many high ...
