Liu, Jinghua; Becker, Kirk – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
For any testing programs that administer multiple forms across multiple years, maintaining score comparability via equating is essential. With continuous testing and high-stakes results, especially with less secure online administrations, testing programs must consider the potential for cheating on their exams. This study used empirical and…

Witherby, Amber E.; Carpenter, Shana K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
When learning new information, students' prior knowledge related to that information will often vary. Prior research has not systematically explored how prior knowledge relates to learning of new, previously unknown information. Accordingly, the goal of the present research was to explore this relationship. In three experiments, students first…
