Temporal Dynamics in Auditory Perceptual Learning: Impact of Sequencing and Incidental Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Church, Barbara A.; Mercado, Eduardo, III; Wisniewski, Matthew G.; Liu, Estella H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Training can improve perceptual sensitivities. We examined whether the temporal dynamics and the incidental versus intentional nature of training are important. Within the context of a birdsong rate discrimination task, we examined whether the sequencing of pretesting exposure to the stimuli mattered. Easy-to-hard (progressive) sequencing of…

ITRI Informational Text Reading Inventory: Grade 5 Teacher Guide
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Center for Innovation in Assessment (NJ1), 2013
The Grade 5 Informational Text Reading Inventory (ITRI) was developed to address the specific reading challenges that grade 5 students encounter when reading their textbooks and other informational text. In fifth grade, students are expected not only to comprehend difficult passages, but also to extend their comprehension through drawing…

Test Reviewing at the Buros Center for Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carlson, Janet F.; Geisinger, Kurt F. – International Journal of Testing, 2012
The test review process used by the Buros Center for Testing is described as a series of 11 steps: (1) identifying tests to be reviewed, (2) obtaining tests and preparing test descriptions, (3) determining whether tests meet review criteria, (4) identifying appropriate reviewers, (5) selecting reviewers, (6) sending instructions and materials to…

The Potential for Differential Findings among Invariance Testing Strategies for Multisample Measured Variable Path Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mann, Heather M.; Rutstein, Daisy W.; Hancock, Gregory R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2009
Multisample measured variable path analysis is used to test whether causal/structural relations among measured variables differ across populations. Several invariance testing approaches are available for assessing cross-group equality of such relations, but the associated test statistics may vary considerably across methods. This study is a…

Modern Sequential Analysis and Its Applications to Computerized Adaptive Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bartroff, Jay; Finkelman, Matthew; Lai, Tze Leung – Psychometrika, 2008
After a brief review of recent advances in sequential analysis involving sequential generalized likelihood ratio tests, we discuss their use in psychometric testing and extend the asymptotic optimality theory of these sequential tests to the case of sequentially generated experiments, of particular interest in computerized adaptive testing. We…

Conceptualizing and Testing Random Indirect Effects and Moderated Mediation in Multilevel Models: New Procedures and Recommendations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bauer, Daniel J.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Gil, Karen M. – Psychological Methods, 2006
The authors propose new procedures for evaluating direct, indirect, and total effects in multilevel models when all relevant variables are measured at Level 1 and all effects are random. Formulas are provided for the mean and variance of the indirect and total effects and for the sampling variances of the average indirect and total effects.…
