Test accommodations for English learners (ELs) are intended to reduce the language barrier and level the playing field, allowing ELs to better demonstrate their true proficiencies. Computer-based accommodations for ELs show promising results for leveling that field while also providing us with additional data to more closely investigate the…

Sagi, Eyal; Gentner, Dedre; Lovett, Andrew – Cognitive Science, 2012
Detecting that two images are different is faster for highly dissimilar images than for highly similar images. Paradoxically, we showed that the reverse occurs when people are asked to describe "how" two images differ--that is, to state a difference between two images. Following structure-mapping theory, we propose that this…

Schmid, Johanna M.; Labuhn, Andju S.; Hasselhorn, Marcus – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2011
This study investigates response inhibition and its relationship to phonological processing in third-graders with and without dyslexia. Children with dyslexia (n = 20) and children without dyslexia (n = 16) were administered a stop signal task and a digit span forwards task. Initial analyses revealed phonological processing deficits in terms of a…

Peer reviewedBirnbaum, Michael H.; Jou, Jr-Wen – Cognitive Psychology, 1990
Through an experiment with 30 college students, a theory was developed to describe response times and ratings of the difference of stimuli. The model was applied in ratings of the likableness of persons by 22 other college students. A theory of comparative response times and difference judgments is discussed. (SLD)
