School principals’ Covid-19 health literacy and its association with mental health
School principals are prone to mental health problems due to work demands. During the COVID-19 pandemic, school principals were additionally tasked with managing challenging responsibilities, i.e. implementing hygiene regulations, communicating frequent policy updates, and transitioning to online teaching. This international study aimed to assess school principals’ COVID-19 health literacy (HL) levels as a resource during the pandemic and to exam…
Understanding how movement signals shape early social coordination and learning
From early in life, social interactions rely on a rich exchange of nonverbal information. This review paper focuses on the nonverbal, kinematic information conveyed by how social partners move and proposes that such movement modulations may facilitate interpersonal coordination between infants and adults, as well as support infants' learning in early interactions. So far, findings on movement modulations have been investigated in isolation: senso…
Training of Self-Reflection
Negotiation effectiveness is a skill required especially in organisational contexts. To become an effective negotiator and to gain negotiation competence, practice is essential. In addition, reflection on the good and the bad of those negotiation processes is vital. In particular, to learn from mistakes and to learn from successes, negotiators need to receive feedback. Feedback must be accurate, targeted towards the negotiators, and purpose-drive…
Framework of Behaviour Training in Digital Negotiations
In order to act and to react effectively in (digital) negotiations, it is essential that negotiators recognise and apply diverse negotiation behaviour. However, there is a lack of research regarding IT-based training tools that support negotiators in implementing such behaviour. Consequently, training becomes essential for acquiring the skills to recognise and apply various negotiation approaches. Our objective is to enhance the accessibility of …
Emotional Movement Kinematics Guide Twelve‐Month‐Olds’ Visual, but Not Manual, Exploration
The ability to recognize and act on others' emotions is crucial for navigating social interactions successfully and learning about the world. One way in which others' emotions are observable is through their movement kinematics. Movement information is available even at a distance or when an individual's face is not visible. Infants have been shown to be sensitive to emotions in movement kinematics of transporting actions, like moving an object f…
Association of school leaders’ Covid-19 health literacy with the implementation of health promotion in schools in Germany
German school principals had high self-reported COVID-19 health literacy. School principals' self-reported COVID-19 health literacy was a significant factor associated with the implementation of COVID-19 related health promotion in schools. The present findings underline the need to investigate the relationship of school principals' health literacy and other potential influencing factors for the implementation of health promotion in schools
Exploration in 4-year-old children is guided by learning progress and novelty
Humans are driven by an intrinsic motivation to learn, but the developmental origins of curiosity-driven exploration remain unclear. We investigated the computational principles guiding 4-year-old children's exploration during a touchscreen game (N = 102, F = 49, M = 53, primarily white and middle-class, data collected in the Netherlands from 2021–2023). Children guessed the location of characters that were hiding following predictable (yet noisy…
Iconographical Study and Semiotic Analysis of Princess Khnumet’s Diadem from the 12th Dynasty, Middle Kingdom
This study identifies unique aspects present in Princess Khnumet’s diadem through a hybrid approach incorporating Van Straten’s four-phase iconographic methodology and semiotics. Van Straten’s first phase identifies the materials, colours, and techniques that are present in Khnumet’s diadem. The second phase deals with the iconographic significance of the colours and motifs on the jewellery piece. The third phase discusses the use of iconographic…
Psychometric properties of a Covid-19 health literacy scale in a sample of German school principals applying Rasch analysis
The German version of the HLS-COVID-Q22 appears to be a reliable measurement tool for the target population. Evidence for construct, statistical and fit validity was collected. Future studies need to test additional types of validity like convergent and divergent validity to further evaluate the questionnaire. Moreover, the psychometric properties of the translated versions of the HLS-COVID-Q22 should be compared using Rasch analysis
Predictive motor activation
Predicting actions is a fundamental ability that helps us to comprehend what is happening in our environment and to interact with others. The motor system was previously identified as source of action predictions. Yet, which aspect of the statistical likelihood of upcoming actions the motor system is sensitive to remains an open question. This EEG study investigated how regularities in observed actions are reflected in the motor system and utiliz…
Contributions of expected learning progress and perceptual novelty to curiosity-driven exploration
Exploration is curiosity-driven when it relies on the intrinsic motivation to know rather than on extrinsic rewards. Recent evidence shows that artificial agents perform better on a variety of tasks when their learning is curiosity-driven, and humans often engage in curiosity-driven learning when sampling information from the environment. However, which mechanisms underlie curiosity is still unclear. Here, we let participants freely explore diffe…
Young Children’s Memories for Social Actions
Children learn actions performed by a social partner better when they misremember these actions as their own. Identifying the factors that alter the propensity to make appropriation errors is critical for optimizing social learning. In two experiments (N = 110), we investigate the developmental trajectory of appropriation errors and examine social-cognitive and motor-related factors in 3- to 8-year-olds. Children with better theory of mind (ToM) …
Let’s talk action
Parents modulate their speech and their actions during infant-directed interactions, and these modulations facilitate infants' language and action learning, respectively. But do these behaviors and their benefits cross these modality boundaries? We investigated mothers' infant-directed speech and actions while they demonstrated the action-effects of 4 novel objects to their 14-month-old infants. Mothers ( N = 35) spent the majority of the time ei…
Settlement Patterns and Land-use in Northern Ghana—A Study of the Changes during the period 1963–1991 based on Historical Surveys and recent SPOT-images

Geografisk Tidsskrift 92:101–104. Copenhagen 1992. A study by Hunter (1966) describes how large areas along the Red Volta River bank, have been abandoned due to river blindness. The mapping of current land-use status and settlements patterns, using multispectral SPOT-satellite im…
