Estimating Measurement Error on Highly Speeded Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitely, Susan E. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
A model which gives maximum likelihood estimates of measurement error within the context of a simplex model for practice effects is presented. The appropriateness of the model is tested for five traits, and error estimates are compared to the classical formula estimates. (Author/JKS)

Systematic Errors in Approximations to the Standard Error of Measurement and Reliability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kleinke, David J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
Lord's, Millman's and Saupe's methods of approximating the standard error of measurement are reviewed. Through an empirical demonstration involving 200 university classroom tests, all three approximations are shown to be biased. (Author/JKS)

Pretesting as Determinant of Attitude Change in Evaluation Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hoogstraten, Joh. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
The biasing effects of a pretest on subsequent post-test results were investigated in two experimental studies. In general, the results argue for using designs without pretests. (Author/JKS)
