AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how toddlers help their peers, revealing that they are significantly more likely to assist other toddlers in reaching objects during joint tasks.
- Toddlers aged 18 and 30 months participated in experiments involving a helping scenario, showing a strong inclination to assist their peers regardless of the situation's context.
- These results indicate that toddlers possess flexible helping skills, demonstrating prosocial behavior not just towards adults but also toward their peers, even when the task is primarily engaging for one child.
Article Abstract
Toddlers are remarkably prosocial toward adults, yet little is known about their helping behavior toward peers. In the present study with 18- and 30-month-old toddlers (n = 192, 48 dyads per age group), one child needed help reaching an object to continue a task that was engaging for both children. The object was within reach of the second child who helped significantly more often compared to a no-need control condition. The helper also fulfilled the peer's need when the task was engaging only for the child needing help. These findings suggest that toddlers' skills and motivations of helping do not depend on having a competent and helpful recipient, such as an adult, but rather they are much more flexible and general.

Microlearning has become increasingly popular not only in education sector but also in corporate sector in recent years. However, its definition and didactics conceptualization, integration into instruction design, and effects on learning outcomes remain largely underexplored in terms of synthesized findings. Consequently, challenges persist in clarifying microlearning definition, and didactics, and designing effective microlearning instruction to yield improved learning outcomes.

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a complex condition marked by persistent distressing thoughts and repetitive behaviours. Despite its prevalence, the mechanisms behind OCD remain elusive, and current treatments are limited. This protocol outlines an investigative study for individuals with OCD, exploring the potential of psilocybin to improve key components of cognition implicated in the disorder.

Introduction: Faced with a backdrop of an increasing chronic disease burden from an ageing global population compounded with rising healthcare costs, health systems are required to implement cost-effective, safe and equitable care through efficient service delivery models. One approach to achieving this is through Starfield's 4Cs of primary healthcare (PHC), which delineates the key attributes of a high-performing PHC system that upholds the pillars of care coordination, first contact of care, continuity of care and comprehensive care. Therefore, this study aims to explore and elucidate the key themes and subthemes related to and extending beyond Starfield's 4Cs of PHC by integrating findings from a comprehensive literature review and a qualitative study.
