• Does Heath, Larrick & Wu (1999) 'Goals as Reference Points' itself state the below-goal-works-harder mechanism the vault recorded?

• Heath, Larrick & Wu (1999)'s own abstract states goals inherit loss aversion and diminishing sensitivity from the prospect-theory value function, and names effort among the phenomena this explains

• Does Berger & Pope (2011) itself carry the 5.8–8.0 pp halftime-deficit figure and the loss-aversion attribution the vault recorded?

• Berger & Pope also found a smaller NCAA halftime-deficit effect (2.1–2.5 percentage points) than the NBA's 5.8–8.0

• Berger & Pope's lab experiment found trailing subjects increased effort while leading subjects did not slack off, isolating loss aversion from winning-team complacency

• Berger & Pope reported NBA teams slightly behind at halftime were 5.8–8.0 percentage points more likely to win, attributing it to loss aversion among experts

• People slightly below a goal work harder than those who have met or exceeded it — the reference-point-plus-loss-aversion engine shared across temporal-landmark motivation effects

• The 'losing leads to winning' halftime effect fails to replicate outside Berger & Pope's original NBA window, across four sports

• Did Lakoff & Johnson's frame semantics and Kahneman & Tversky's 'framing effect' develop with any cross-influence, or are they genuinely independent traditions that converged on the same word?
