Joshua B. Gilbert; James S. Kim; Luke W. Miratrix – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
Longitudinal models of individual growth typically emphasize between-person predictors of change but ignore how growth may vary "within" persons because each person contributes only one point at each time to the model. In contrast, modeling growth with multi-item assessments allows evaluation of how relative item performance may shift…

Smeets, Daisy J. H.; van Dijken, Marianne J.; Bus, Adriana G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
Novel word learning is reported to be problematic for children with severe language impairments (SLI). In this study, we tested electronic storybooks as a tool to support vocabulary acquisition in SLI children. In Experiment 1, 29 kindergarten SLI children heard four e-books each four times: (a) two stories were presented as video books with…
