Demographic trends project a significant expansion of European urban populations to 2030, leading to expanding cities being marketed as desirable tourist destinations, particularly for short city breaks. In turn, this renders the promotion of effici... Read More about Landmarks in tourist wayfinding : a review.

Children's memories about events relating to treatment for eye cancer : influence of age at loss of eye (2012)
Journal Article

Treatment for Retinoblastoma frequently involves removal of at least one eye in the first five years. Variation in age of treatment leads to the assumption that children’s later verbal accessibility of early traumatic memories may vary, with some chi...

The pattern of parent-child correlations in adoption studies has long been interpreted to suggest substantial additive genetic variance underlying variance in IQ. The studies have frequently been criticized on methodological grounds, but those critic... Read More about A critical analysis of IQ studies of adopted children.
