Mara Morelli; Matilde Brunetti; Antonio Chirumbolo; Pietro Spataro; Fiorenzo Laghi; Emiddia Longobardi – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2024
Executive functions (EFs) are a set of high-level cognitive processes that enable children to perform a goal-directed behaviour. During the preschool years, EFs undergo significant developmental changes. Therefore, it is crucial to have reliable measures that accurately evaluate preschoolers' EFs in preschool-aged children. The present study aimed…

Jacqueline M. Caemmerer; Stephanie Ruth Young; Danika Maddocks; Natalie R. Charamut; Eunice Blemahdoo – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
In order to make appropriate educational recommendations, psychologists must understand how cognitive test scores influence specific academic outcomes for students of different ability levels. We used data from the WISC-V and WIAT-III (N = 181) to examine which WISC-V Index scores predicted children's specific and broad academic skills and if…

Jing Liu; Megan Kuhfeld; Monica Lee; Danett Song – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Noncognitive skills are a critical component of human capital and are highly consequential for student life outcomes (Heckman et al., 2006; Cunha et al., 2010). While there is a great deal of debates around what noncognitive skills are, their measurement, and their interpretation (Duckworth & Yeager, 2015; Humphries & Kosse,…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive validity of a two-step admissions procedure that included a cognitive ability test followed by multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) used to assess non-cognitive skills, compared to grade-based admissions relative to subsequent drop-out rates and academic achievement after one and two years of study.…

Bieri Buschor, Christine; Schuler Braunschweig, Patricia – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2018
The aim of this longitudinal study was to gain an understanding of how Swiss student teachers (n = 253), who had passed a competence-based admission test, were assessed by their mentors after the first year of teaching. The results revealed a high correlation between the students' initial cross-curricular competencies (CCC) and their mentors'…
