Anakwah, Nkansah; Horselenberg, Robert; Hope, Lorraine; Amankwah-Poku, Margaret; van Koppen, Peter J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020

Tarak Dridi – Journal of Education, 2022
Oslo Accords have stringently underscored that both rivalries, the Palestinians and the Israelis, must abstain from incitement to terror and violence.

The abilities of past and future episodic thinking develop hand in hand across the preschool years and are intimately connected in adults. Little is known, however, about the development of episodic thinking in middle childhood and how it is influenced by sociocultural factors. In the present study, one hundred sixty-seven 7- to 10-year-old…

German mothers were rather similar to Swedish mothers in talking a…
