Kuk's Model Adjusted for Protection and Efficiency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

The Time Course of Perception and Retrieval in Matching and Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

Critical Values of Guessing on True-False and Multiple-Choice Tests.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Wang, Jianjun – 1995
Effects of blind guessing on the success of passing true-false and multiple-choice tests are investigated under a stochastic binomial model. Critical values of guessing are thresholds which signify when the effect of guessing is negligible. By checking a table of critical values assembled in this paper, one can make a decision with 95% confidence…

Multiple Choice and True/False Tests: Reliability Measures and Some Implications of Negative Marking
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

The Assessment of Professional Competence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

Objective Assessment of Preservice Teachers.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Boone, William; Svec, Michael – 1993
Characteristics of objective measurement and how to develop an objective instrument are discussed. Objective measurement can be thought of as that type of measurement in the social sciences that parallels the measurement that takes place in science. The following are aspects of scientific measurement that should be transferred to the measurement…
