We highlight a thread of contradictions in spatial cognition from infant cognition to the first breakthrough at around the age of four. The contradictions reemerge in the literature on age-related decline in spatial cognition. We argue that these contradictions derive from the incorrect assumption that path integration is exclusively associated with allocentric frames of references, hence, signatures of path integration are often taken as evidence for allocentric perspective-taking. We posit that several contradictions in the literature can be resolved by acknowledging that path integration is agnostic to the type of reference frame and can be implemented in both egocentric and allocentric frames of reference. By freeing the frames of reference from path integration, we arrive at a developmental trajectory consistent across cognitive development studies, enabling us to ask questions that may dissolve the obscurity of this topic.

Recognizing that technological performance and psychological experiences shape user engagement, this research extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by integrating constructs such as perceived trust, enjoyment, ideological alignment, and psychological states-including satisfaction, wellbeing, and anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Data were collected from 782 higher vocational college students in China using an online questionnaire. Participants represented diverse academic fields (e.g., liberal arts, sciences, engineering, arts) and were balanced in terms of gender (44.28% male and 55.72% female). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to assess direct and indirect relationships among key variables, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, system quality, expectation confirmation, enjoyment, and psychological indicators such as anxiety and subjective wellbeing. The mediating role of psychological wellbeing was also tested to evaluate its influence on continued platform usage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Perceived enjoyment emerged as the strongest predictor of continuance intention (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = 0.52, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001), underscoring the central role of affective engagement in promoting sustained platform use. Perceived usefulness (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = 0.38, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.01) and expectation confirmation (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = 0.31, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.01) also exerted significant positive effects, supporting the cognitive appraisal mechanisms outlined in TAM and Expectation-Confirmation Theory. Interestingly, perceived trust negatively affected satisfaction (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = -0.13, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.05), possibly due to a mismatch between institutional trust and user expectations, which may lead to psychological strain. System quality had no significant impact on satisfaction (&lt;i&gt;β&lt;/i&gt; = 0.05, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &gt; 0.05), suggesting that users view platform reliability as a baseline requirement rather than a satisfaction driver. Moreover, psychological wellbeing-defined by higher satisfaction and lower anxiety-is mediated between platform experience and continued use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings highlight the need for innovative learning platforms to address technological expectations and psychological resilience. While usability and usefulness remain essential, designers must foster emotional engagement and manage trust-based expectations. Platforms that overlook psychological dimensions risk diminishing user satisfaction and long-term retention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Sustaining engagement with innovative learning platforms in higher vocational education requires a holistic approach that balances functional usability with mental wellbeing.
