Barry, Carol L.; Finney, Sara J. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2016
We examined change in test-taking effort over the course of a three-hour, five test, low-stakes testing session. Latent growth modeling results indicated that change in test-taking effort was well-represented by a piecewise growth form, wherein effort increased from test 1 to test 4 and then decreased from test 4 to test 5. There was significant…

Sessoms, John; Finney, Sara J. – International Journal of Testing, 2015
Because schools worldwide use low-stakes tests to make important decisions, value-added indices computed from test scores must accurately reflect student learning, which requires equal test-taking effort across testing occasions. Evaluating change in effort assumes effort is measured equivalently across occasions. We evaluated the longitudinal…

Ferrando, Pere J. – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
Test-retest studies for assessing stability and change are widely used in different domains and allow improved or additional individual estimates of interest to be obtained. However, if these estimates are to be validly interpreted the responses given at Time-2 must be free of retest effects, and the fulfilment of this assumption must be…

Hayes, Heather; Embretson, Susan E. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2013
Online and on-demand tests are increasingly used in assessment. Although the main focus has been cheating and test security (e.g., Selwyn, 2008) the cross-setting equivalence of scores as a function of contrasting test conditions is also an issue that warrants attention. In this study, the impact of environmental and cognitive distractions, as…

Herman, Joan, Ed.; Hilton, Margaret, Ed. – National Academies Press, 2017
The importance of higher education has never been clearer. Educational attainment--the number of years a person spends in school--strongly predicts adult earnings, as well as health and civic engagement. Yet relative to other developed nations, educational attainment in the United States is lagging, with young Americans who heretofore led the…

These include the student's motivational make-up, study behaviors and strategies, and cognitive and self-management demands with student study activities. This investigation is a subset of a series of studies on personality correlates, study…

The performance of college students on the adolescent-adult version of the Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) test was examined in three studies to determine the effects of strategies on performance.
