Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive process modeling of spatial ability: The assembling objects task
TL;DR: This paper examined the cognitive processes involved in the assembling objects task found on the Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT), a spatial task in which a test taker must mentally assemble two-dimensional objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Evaluation of Competing Age-Predictions of Future Time Perspective between Workplace and Retirement Domains.
TL;DR: Results indicate general support for decreasing age-change in FTP, indicated by independent-sample t-tests showing lower FTP in the ‘Die-by’ framing condition, and practical implications and consequences validity evidence in future empirical research of FTP in both workplace and retirement domains are discussed.
Reference EntryDOI
Item Response Theory and Measuring Abilities
TL;DR: Item response theory (IRT) as mentioned in this paper is a test-based approach that is based on relative standing among a population of individuals for a given test, and the scale of measurement for IRT is interval-level so relative score levels and their change are weighted accordingly.

Automatic Item Generation: A More Efficient Process for Developing Mathematics Achievement Items?.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using confirmatory factor analysis to identify newborn behavior structure with the NBAS
TL;DR: In this paper, the NBAS items are typically collapsed into six clusters (Lester, 1984) and compared with six independent factors, six correlated factors, and models estimating a general adaptiveness factor plus six factors were assessed.
