Artificial intelligence use, creative thinking disposition, and metacognitive awareness among EFL learners: a structural equation modelling approach

Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, yet its cognitive implications depend on how learners engage with it rather than on its use alone. This study examined the structural relationships among differentiated patterns of AI use, creative thinking disposition, and metacognitive awareness among undergraduate EFL learners. Using a quantitative cross-sectional correlational design, data were collected from 713 learners and analysed through structural equation modelling.

Alterations of subcortical structures are associated with anxiety in early Parkinson’s disease patients: a cross-sectional 7T MRI study

Anxiety is a prevalent non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet its neurobiological markers remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify volumetric and morphological changes in subcortical structures associated with anxiety in early PD. In this cross-sectional study from the TRACK-PD cohort (Dutch Trial Register - NL7558), 105 non-demented PD patients (31 with anxiety [AnxPD], 74 without [nonAnxPD]) and 37 healthy controls (HC) underwent 7 T MRI.
