Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roebers, Claudia M.; Cimeli, Patrizia; Rothlisberger, Marianne; Neuenschwander, Regula – Metacognition and Learning, 2012
In the present study, associations between executive functioning, metacognition, and self-perceived competence in the context of early academic outcomes were examined. A total of 209 children attending first grade were initially assessed in terms of their executive functioning and academic self-concept. One year later, children's executive…

Reexamining the Relationship between Working Memory and Comprehension: The Role of Available Long-Term Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Was, Christopher A.; Woltz, Dan J. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2007
Two individual differences studies tested relationships between listening comprehension and two conceptualizations of working memory (WM) capacity. Recently, some theorists have stressed that the empirically indicated limits of rehearsal-based WM storage components are inconsistent with the amounts of information needed to accomplish complex…

Simultaneous Study of Individual and Group Patterns of Latent Longitudinal Change Using Structural Equation Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling, 1997
Structural equation modeling is used in the simultaneous study of individual and group latent change patterns on several longitudinally assessed variables. The approach, which is based on a special case of the comprehensive latent curve analysis of W. Meredith and J. Tisak (1990), is illustrated with a two-group study. (SLD)

Ding, Cody S.; Davison, Mark L.; Petersen, Anne C. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2005
Latent growth curve modeling provides a powerful and flexible tool for researchers to study individual differences in change as well as the correlates and predictors of change. Recent developments in estimation and hypothesis testing procedures are largely based on confirmatory structural equation approaches. In this article, an alternative…

Stability of Individual Differences in Multiwave Panel Studies: Comparison of Simplex Models and One-Factor Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1993
Structural equation models of the same construct collected on different occasions are evaluated in 2 studies involving the evaluation of 157 college instructors over 8 years and data for over 2,200 high school students over 4 years for the Youth in Transition Study. Results challenge overreliance on simplex models. (SLD)

Muthen, Bengt O.; Nelson, Ginger – 1992
It has been demonstrated that the individual variation in the level and rate of learning for a cohort of students over time can be estimated by hierarchical linear models. Models of this type can also be estimated using widely available structural modeling software, which provides a flexible framework for model explorations, including the use of…

Exploring the First Year Academic Achievement of School Leavers and Mature-Age Students through Structural Equation Modelling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McKenzie, Kirsten; Gow, Kathryn – Learning & Individual Differences, 2004
One of the most noticeable changes to the university student profile over the last decade is the increasing number of mature-age students. This study examined the relationship between previous academic performance, psychological characteristics of the student, learning strategies, and the first year academic performance of school leavers and…
