Humans show a remarkable capacity to navigate various environments using different navigation strategies, and we know that strategy changes across the life span. However, this observation has been based on studies of small sample sizes. To end, used mobile app-based video game (Sea Hero Quest) test virtual strategies memory performance within distinct radial arm maze level in over 37,000 participants. Players were presented with six pathways (three open three closed) required collect target. Next, all made available player was visit previously unavailable. Both reference working errors calculated. Crucially, at end level, asked multiple-choice question about how they found targets (i.e., counting-dependent vs. landmark-dependent strategy). As predicted from previous laboratory studies, use landmarks declined linearly age. Those landmark-based also performed better than those counting-based strategy. These results extend observations showing decreased

Abstract As it is central to sustainable urban development, mobility has primarily been scrutinised for its scaling and hierarchical properties. However, traditional analyses frequently overlook spatial directionality, a critical factor in city centre congestion suburban development. Here, we apply vector computation unravel the directionality of mobility, introducing two-dimensional anisotropy-centripetality metric. Utilising travel data from 90 million mobile users across 60 Chinese cities, effectively quantify patterns through this metric, distinguishing between strong monocentric, weak polycentric patterns. Our findings highlight notable difference: residents monocentric cities face increasing commuting distances as expand, contrast consistent observed cities. Notably, anisotropy intensifies outskirts whereas remains uniform settings. Additionally, centripetality wanes one moves core, with steeper decline Finally, reveal that employment attraction strength distance are key explaining these divergent These insights important shaping effective policies aimed at alleviating guiding housing

ABSTRACT OSMnx is a Python package for downloading, modeling, analyzing, and visualizing urban networks any other geospatial features from OpenStreetMap data. A large growing body of literature uses it to conduct scientific studies across the disciplines geography, planning, transport engineering, computer science, others. The project has recently developed implemented many new features, modeling capabilities, analytical methods. now encompasses substantially more functionality than was previously documented in literature. This article introduces OSMnx's modern usage, design—in addition theory logic underlying them. It shares lessons learned software development reflects on open science's implications analysis.

Summary

Computational models have great potential to revolutionise psychiatry research and clinical practice. These are now used across multiple subfields, including computational precision psychiatry. Their goals vary from understanding mechanisms underlying disorders deriving reliable classification personalised predictions. Rapid growth of new tools data sources (eg, digital data, gamification, social media) requires an the constraints advantages different modelling approaches in In this Series paper, we take a critical look at range that evaluate their disadvantages for purposes sources. We describe mechanism-driven mechanism-agnostic discuss how interpretability is crucial translation. Based on these evaluations, provide recommendations build clinically useful.

Classically the human life-course is characterized by youth, middle age and old age. A wide range of biological, health cognitive functions vary across this life-course. Here, using reported sleep duration from 730,187 participants 63 countries, we find three distinct phases in adult life-course: early adulthood (19-33yrs), mid-adulthood (34-53yrs), late (54+yrs). They appear stable culture, gender, education other demographics. During third phase, where self-reported increases with age, performance, as measured spatial navigation, was found to have an inverted u-shape relationship duration: optimal performance peaks at 7 hours sleep. World-wide patterns are geographically clustered, associated economy, latitude.
