Okan Bulut; Guher Gorgun; Hacer Karamese – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
The use of multistage adaptive testing (MST) has gradually increased in large-scale testing programs as MST achieves a balanced compromise between linear test design and item-level adaptive testing. MST works on the premise that each examinee gives their best effort when attempting the items, and their responses truly reflect what they know or can…

Kamada, Taisuke; Hata, Toshimichi – Learning & Memory, 2021
Dopamine plays a critical role in behavioral tasks requiring interval timing (time perception in a seconds-to-minutes range). Although some studies demonstrate the role of dopamine receptors as a controller of the speed of the internal clock, other studies demonstrate their role as a controller of motivation. Both D1 dopamine receptors (D1DRs) and…

Pekarek Doehler, Simona – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This article explores the relation between word order and response latency, focusing on responses to question-word questions. Qualitative (multimodal) and quantitative analyses of naturally occurring conversations in French--where question-words can occur in initial, medial, or final position within the question--show that variation in word order…

Willoughby, Emily A.; Lee, James J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Although the correlation between general cognitive ability ("g") and performance on speeded cognitive tasks is well-established, there is need for a better understanding of how successive stages of processing contribute to this relationship. Previous research suggests that "g" is primarily associated with the rapidity of…

Chatterjee, Kallol; Ghosh, Krishnendu; Biswas, Sudarsan – Physical Educator, 2023
Volleyball is a competitive sport and the main goal is to win or defeat other teams. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relation between selected anthropometric variables and reaction time of volleyball players. Fourteen district-level volleyball players from Bolpur, Birbhum, and West Bengal were selected as subjects. The age of the…

Lin, Yu-Ju; Chiu, Yen-Nan; Wu, Yu-Yu; Tsai, Wen-Che; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study followed up ADHD/autistic symptoms and attentional performance in children/adolescents with ASD and typically developing ones (TD) over 5-7 years. The participants were stratified by age at baseline into child (< 12 years) and adolescent (12-19 years) groups. ADHD symptoms, especially hyperactivity, and attentional functions…

Anderson, Sarah J.; Warren, Amy L.; Abdullayeva, Nia; Krigolson, Olav; Hecker, Kent G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2023
Visual (perceptual) reasoning is a critical skill in many medical specialties, including pathology, diagnostic imaging, and dermatology. However, in an ever-compressed medical curriculum, learning and practicing this skill can be challenging. Previous studies (including work with pigeons) have suggested that using reward-feedback-based activities,…

Talkington, William J.; Donai, Jeremy; Kadner, Alexandra S.; Layne, Molly L.; Forino, Andrew; Wen, Sijin; Gao, Si; Gray, Margeaux M.; Ashraf, Alexandria J.; Valencia, Gabriela N.; Smith, Brandon D.; Khoo, Stephanie K.; Gray, Stephen J.; Lass, Norman; Brefczynski-Lewis, Julie A.; Engdahl, Susannah; Graham, David; Frum, Chris A.; Lewis, James W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: From an anthropological perspective of hominin communication, the human auditory system likely evolved to enable special sensitivity to sounds produced by the vocal tracts of human conspecifics whether attended or passively heard. While numerous electrophysiological studies have used stereotypical human-produced verbal (speech voice and…

Shadi Alawneh – Discover Education, 2024
The HCS12 microcontroller and DRAGON12-Light Trainer boards are extensively utilized in microprocessor system design education. This paper details the rationale, approach, and outcomes from implementing the DRAGON12-Light Trainer board in teaching an upper-level undergraduate microprocessors course at Oakland University. The course's primary goal…

Jan Karem Höhne; Achim Goerres – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
The measurement of political solidarities and related concepts is an important endeavor in numerous scientific disciplines, such as political and social science research. European surveys, such as the Eurobarometer, frequently measure these concepts for people's home country and Europe raising questions with respect to the order of precedence.…

Yi Ding; Qian Wang; Ru-De Liu; Jolene Trimm; Jiayi Wang; Shu Feng; Wei Hong; Xian-Tong Yang – SAGE Open, 2024
The paper examined the relations among problem solving, automaticity, and working memory load (WML) by changing the difficulty level of task characteristics through two applications. In Study 1, involving 68 engineering students, a 2 (automaticity) x 2 (WML) design was utilized for arithmetic problems. In Study 2, involving 76 engineering…

Schweizer, Karl; Wang, Tengfei; Ren, Xuezhu – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
The essay reports two studies on confirmatory factor analysis of speeded data with an effect of selective responding. This response strategy leads test takers to choose their own working order instead of completing the items along with the given order. Methods for detecting speededness despite such a deviation from the given order are proposed and…

Lum, Jarrad A. G.; Clark, Gillian M. – Developmental Science, 2022
Procedural memory functioning in developmental language disorder (DLD) has largely been investigated by examining implicit sequence learning by the manual motor system. This study examined whether poor sequence learning in DLD is present in the oculomotor domain. Twenty children with DLD and 20 age-matched typically developing (TD) children were…

Wang, Felix Hao; Kaiser, Elsi – Language Learning, 2022
Although syntactic priming has been well studied and is commonly assumed to involve implicit learning, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are still under debate. Recent studies have suggested that exposure to nonlinguistic statistical patterns may influence language users' relative clause attachment biases, but whether the priming effect comes…

Sideridis, Georgios; Alahmadi, Maisa – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
The goal of the present study was to extend earlier work on the estimation of person theta using maximum likelihood estimation in R by accounting for rapid guessing. This paper provides a modified R function that accommodates person thetas using the Rasch or 2PL models and implements corrections for the presence of rapid guessing or informed…
