Rutherford, Marion; Forsyth, Kirsty; McKenzie, Karen; McClure, Iain; Murray, Aja; McCartney, Deborah; Irvine, Linda; O'Hare, Anne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study examined waiting times for diagnostic assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder in 11 adult services, prior to and following the implementation of a 12 month change program. Methods to support change are reported and a multi-level modelling approach determined the effect of the change program on overall wait times. Results were…

Hierarchical Exploratory Factor Analyses of the Woodcock-Johnson IV Full Test Battery: Implications for CHC Application in School Psychology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dombrowski, Stefan C.; McGill, Ryan J.; Canivez, Gary L. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2018
The Woodcock-Johnson (fourth edition; WJ IV; Schrank, McGrew, & Mather, 2014a) was recently redeveloped and retains its linkage to Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory (CHC). Independent reviews (e.g., Canivez, 2017) and investigations (Dombrowski, McGill, & Canivez, 2017) of the structure of the WJ IV full test battery and WJ IV Cognitive have…

Cumulative Repetition Effects across Multiple Readings of a Word: Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kamienkowski, Juan E.; Carbajal, M. Julia; Bianchi, Bruno; Sigman, Mariano; Shalom, Diego E. – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2018
When a word is read more than once, reading time generally decreases in the successive occurrences. This Repetition Effect has been used to study word encoding and memory processes in a variety of experimental measures. We studied naturally occurring repetitions of words within normal texts (stories of around 3,000 words). Using linear mixed…

Hierarchical Bayesian Models of Subtask Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Anglim, Jeromy; Wynton, Sarah K. A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
The current study used Bayesian hierarchical methods to challenge and extend previous work on subtask learning consistency. A general model of individual-level subtask learning was proposed focusing on power and exponential functions with constraints to test for inconsistency. To study subtask learning, we developed a novel computer-based booking…

Antecedents and Outcomes of Level and Rates of Change in Perceived Control: The Moderating Role of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Infurna, Frank J.; Okun, Morris A. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
Perceived control is interrelated with aging-related outcomes across adulthood and old age. Relatively little is known, however, about resources as antecedents of longitudinal change in perceived control and the role of perceived control as a buffer against mortality risk when these resources are low. We examined functional limitations, depressive…
