Temporal Dynamics in Auditory Perceptual Learning: Impact of Sequencing and Incidental Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Church, Barbara A.; Mercado, Eduardo, III; Wisniewski, Matthew G.; Liu, Estella H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Training can improve perceptual sensitivities. We examined whether the temporal dynamics and the incidental versus intentional nature of training are important. Within the context of a birdsong rate discrimination task, we examined whether the sequencing of pretesting exposure to the stimuli mattered. Easy-to-hard (progressive) sequencing of…

Unbiased Estimation in a Closed Sequential Testing Procedure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilcox, Rand R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This article provides unbiased estimates of the proportion of items in an item domain that an examinee would answer correctly if every item were attempted, when a closed sequential testing procedure is used. (Author)

Conceptualizing and Testing Random Indirect Effects and Moderated Mediation in Multilevel Models: New Procedures and Recommendations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bauer, Daniel J.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Gil, Karen M. – Psychological Methods, 2006
The authors propose new procedures for evaluating direct, indirect, and total effects in multilevel models when all relevant variables are measured at Level 1 and all effects are random. Formulas are provided for the mean and variance of the indirect and total effects and for the sampling variances of the average indirect and total effects.…

Sequencing as an Item Type.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Alderson, J. Charles; Percsich, Richard; Szabo, Gabor – Language Testing, 2000
Reports on the potential problems in scoring responses to sequencing tests, the development of a computer program to overcome these difficulties, and an exploration of the value of scoring procedures. (Author/VWL)

Sequential Plans and Formative Evaluation.

Epstein, Kenneth I. – 1975
Sequential plans are suggested as a basis for developing decision rules for accepting or rejecting instructional materials. The technique allows inferences to be drawn concerning the effectiveness of the instruction for the target population, from formative evaluation sample data. The procedure calls for explicit statements of the required level…

Use of Sequential Testing to Prescreen Prospective Entrants into Military Service.
Weitzman, R. A. – 1982
The goal of this research was to predict from a recruit's responses to the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) items whether the recruit would pass the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). The data consisted of the responses (correct/incorrect) of 1,020 Navy recruits to 200 items of the ASVAB together with the scores of these…

Discriminant Analysis Applied to Sequential Testing.

Thomas, David B. – 1975
Individualized instruction programs have imposed an increased reliance on tests as a means of selecting and routing students through sometimes complex programs. Testing which occurs within the training sequence is particularly vulnerable to inefficient use of both trainee and instructor time, but computer-based instruction system can provide a…
