Titze, Ingo R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: Maximum flow declination rate (MFDR) in the glottis is known to correlate strongly with vocal intensity in voicing. This declination, or negative slope on the glottal airflow waveform, is in part attributable to the maximum area declination rate (MADR) and in part to the overall inertia of the air column of the vocal tract (lungs to…

Le, Vi-Nhuan; Perlman, Michal; Zellman, Gail L.; Hamilton, Laura S. – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 2006
Child-staff ratios are an important quality indicator. They are often collected by observing one randomly selected classroom several times during a 2-h period on a single day. However, it is unclear whether these measures represent the ratios that children actually experience during most of their time in care. This study compared ratio data…

Boyce, William; Torsheim, Torbjorn; Currie, Candace; Zambon, Alessio – Social Indicators Research, 2006
One explanation for a lack of consistency in SES-health associations in youth is that parent-based income and occupation measures are inadequate. The Family Affluence Scale (FAS), a four-item measure of family wealth, has been developed in the WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study as an alternative measure. The aim of this paper is to…

Carroll, Julia M.; Chiew, Kin Yung – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2006
Baron-Cohen's [(2002) "Trends in Cognitive Sciences," 6, 248-255] "extreme male brain" theory of autism is investigated by examining the relationships between theory of mind, central coherence, empathising, systemising and autistic-like symptomatology in typical undergraduates. There were sex differences in the expected directions on all tasks.…

Hoffman, Rose Marie – Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, 2006
This study of ethnically diverse participants explored the relationship of gender self-confidence to subjective well-being. The 2 components of gender self-confidence (gender self-definition and gender self-acceptance) were assessed using the Hoffman Gender Scale (R. M. Hoffman, 1996; R. M. Hoffman, L. D. Borders, & J. A. Hattie, 2000). The…

Knight, William E.; Hakel, Milton D.; Gromko, Mark – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2008
Electronic portfolios (eportfolios) represent an assessment measure with strong potential to provide feedback about student performance to improve curricula and pedagogy, to determine individual students' mastery of learning and support feedback for improvement, and to actively involve students in the assessment process. This study examined the…

Herman, Joan L.; Choi, Kilchan – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2008
This article articulates a framework for examining the quality of formative assessment practice and provides empirical evidence in support of one of its components. Based on a study of middle school science, the study examines the accuracy of teachers' judgments of students' understanding and the relationship of such accuracy to middle school …
