Su, Shu-Ching; Sedory, Stephen A.; Singh, Sarjinder – Sociological Methods & Research, 2015
In this article, we adjust the Kuk randomized response model for collecting information on a sensitive characteristic for increased protection and efficiency by making use of forced "yes" and forced "no" responses. We first describe Kuk's model and then the proposed adjustment to Kuk's model. Next, by means of a simulation…

Hanrin, Chanwit – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2014
This research proposes (1) to develop the learning management plan for the Innovation and Information Technology in Education of the 3rd year students of the Bachelor of Education Program by using CIPPA effectively according to the criteria 75/75; (2) to study the effectiveness index of the learning management plan for the Innovation and…

Sidman, Murray – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2009
With an emphasis on procedural fundamentals, the original behavior-analytic equivalence experiments and the equivalence paradigm are described briefly. A few of the subsequent developments and implications are noted, with special reference to the possible significance of the findings with respect to language and cognition. (Contains 9 figures.)

Lowenkron, Barry – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2006
Lowenkron and colleagues (Lowenkron, 1984; 1991; 1998; 2006; Lowenkron and Colvin, 1992) describe a model that explains complex behavior using only well-established behavioral principles, concepts and terms. The model, called "joint control," is especially useful for understanding complex and delayed discriminations within a purely behavioral…

Sidener, David W.; Michael, Jack – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2006
The ability of preschool age children to perform generalized relational matching to sample tasks with and without an overt mediating stimulus was examined. This experiment was a direct replication of a study by Lowenkron (1984) and examined a behavioral model relevant to complex human behavior that he later came to call "joint control." Children…

Kent, Christopher; Lamberts, Koen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
A four-part experiment was carried out to study the relationship between the time course of object-feature perception and the time course of retrieval of object information from memory. The experiment consisted of 2 perceptual matching tasks, and 2 perceptual recognition tasks. In all 4 tasks, participants provided speeded judgments of the…

Grace, Randolph C.; McLean, Anthony P. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
Pigeons' choice in concurrent chains can adapt to rapidly changing contingencies. Grace, Bragason, and McLean (2003) found that relative initial-link response rate was sensitive to the immediacy ratio in the current session when one of the terminal-link fixed-interval schedules was changed daily according to a pseudorandom binary sequence (e.g.,…

Hsu, Louis M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
Relative difficulty of Separate (Form S) and Grouped (Form G) True-False tests may be expected to be dependent on the ability levels of examinees. At some levels Form S should be less difficult, at others equally difficult, and at still others, more difficult, than Form G. (Author/RL)

Schrag, Francis – American Journal of Education, 1989
Values inevitably enter educational inquiry, but they do not undermine the possibility of objectivity. Theoretical frameworks, even those that carry particular values, may be legitimately employed to explain educational phenomena. Mainstream research is systematically biased. (Author/BJV)

Ratcliff, Roger; McKoon, Gail – Cognitive Psychology, 1989
Two experiments with 64 college students are reported that examined the time course of retrieval in a sentence matching procedure. Results demonstrate that modifications are required for models that provide only a unitary value for the amount of match between a test probe and information in memory. (TJH)

Multiple Choice and True/False Tests: Reliability Measures and Some Implications of Negative Marking
Burton, Richard F. – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2004
The standard error of measurement usefully provides confidence limits for scores in a given test, but is it possible to quantify the reliability of a test with just a single number that allows comparison of tests of different format? Reliability coefficients do not do this, being dependent on the spread of examinee attainment. Better in this…

Kane, Michael T. – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1992
A proposed model for the validity of measures of professional competence treats validation as the evaluation of inferences drawn from test scores, focusing on evaluation, generalization, and extrapolation. The model is used to indicate strengths and weaknesses of assessments of professional competence: observations of performance, simulations, and…

Sales, T. Bradford; Fox, C. Lynn – Education, 1982
Outlines the skills necessary (objectivity, effective parental involvement, assessment preparation, implementing a least-biased assessment, analyzing the information) for a multidisciplinary team to make appropriate educational assessments of minority students as mandated by the Education for All Children Handicapped Act (Public Law 94-142).…
