Cultural background shapes spatial reference frame proclivity [PDF]
Spatial navigation is an essential human skill that is influenced by several factors. The present study investigates how gender, age, and cultural background account for differences in reference frame proclivity and performance in a virtual navigation ...

Nature, nature connection, and well‐being: A review of conceptual issues and opportunities
Abstract Nature connection plays an important role in the relationship between nature contact and well‐being, but explanations of how this occurs are sometimes ambiguous while evidence is conflicting. Philosophical tensions in the way we study nature connection make it difficult to clarify these matters: while the idea of nature connection is grounded ...

Being Present In Space: The Role Of Allocentric And Egocentric Reference Frames
The general aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of an interactive aerial view of the experienced environment during the encoding and retrieving of spatial information on the feeling of presence. Our findings showed that this real-time interactive aerial view (both small and large) during the encoding and retrieval of spatial ...

I Better “Not to”: Voluntary Sustainability Constraints in Mindful Organic Food Consumption
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to understand constraints from limitations and skepticism to a form of agency in consumer ethics. Framed in Granular Interaction Thinking theory, our study addresses the research question of how the voluntary sustainability constraints leverage mindful consumption.

The contributions of egocentric and allocentric reference frames in haptic spatial tasks
The influence of egocentric and allocentric reference frames on performance in haptic spatial tasks, was tested in three conditions. Blindfolded subjects had to make two bars haptically parallel, perpendicular or mirrored in the midsagittal plane. The hypothesis is that the contributions of egocentric and allocentric reference frames are combined ...

Are All Spatial Reference Frames Egocentric? Reinterpreting Evidence for Allocentric, Object-Centered, or World-Centered Reference Frames [PDF]
The use and neural representation of egocentric spatial reference frames is well-documented. In contrast, whether the brain represents spatial relationships between objects in allocentric, object-centered, or world-centered coordinates is debated. Here, I review behavioral, neuropsychological, neurophysiological (neuronal recording), and neuroimaging ...

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

Unnatural Causes: Cryptocurrencies, Carbon Credits, and the rise of Neoliberalism from Below
ABSTRACT Klima is a carbon‐backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021 ...
