Altschuler, Melody R.; Faja, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluates the test-retest reliability of six theory of mind (ToM) tasks that measured cognitive, affective, and spontaneous ToM in 7 to 11 year-old children with autism spectrum disorder. Our results revealed considerable variation in test-retest reliability depending on the type of ToM task, which ranged from poor to good with…

Mueller, Shane T.; Perelman, Brandon S.; Tan, Yin Yin; Thanasuan, Kejkaew – Journal of Problem Solving, 2015
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that requires finding the shortest path through a set of points ("cities") that returns to the starting point. Because humans provide heuristic near-optimal solutions to Euclidean versions of the problem, it has sometimes been used to investigate human visual…

Executive Function in Preschool Children: Test-Retest Reliability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beck, Danielle M.; Schaefer, Catherine; Pang, Karen; Carlson, Stephanie M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
Research suggests that executive function (EF) may distinguish between children who are well- or ill-prepared for kindergarten; however, little is known about the test-retest reliability of measures of EF for children. We aimed to establish a battery of EF measures that are sensitive to both development and individual differences across the…

An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment: II. An Investigation of Encoding and Retrieval Processes in Memory. Technical Report No. 2, November 16, 1977 through November 30, 1978.
Fernandes, Kathleen; Rose, Andrew M. – 1978
An information processing approach was applied to the development and validation of a test battery intended for personnel selection, classification, and guidance; and design of training programs. The approach specifies that tests should measure specific cognitive processes and basic abilities, rather than prior experience. Tests should be short,…

An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment. Final Report, November 16, 1977 through November 30, 1978.
Rose, Andrew M. – 1978
An ongoing series of experiments has extended Rose's information processing approach to job performance assessment. Each study investigated cognitive tasks from the literature on memory, psycholinquistics, and visual information processing, for potential inclusion in the test battery. Each task was then evaluated against three criterion areas: (1)…
