TL;DR: This paper presented a paper-and-pencil dominance scale that can be used to quantify the language dominancy of bilingual participants, which targets three main criteria important in measuring dominance: percent of language use for both languages, age of acquisition, and restructuring of language fluency due to changes in linguistic environments.
Abstract: The lack of consistency in how bilingual language dominance is assessed currently impedes cross-experiment comparisons (Grosjean, 1998). We present a paper-and-pencil dominance scale that can be used to quantify the language dominancy of bilingual participants. The scale targets three main criteria important in gauging dominance (Grosjean, 1998; Flege, Mackay & Piske, 2002): percent of language use for both languages, age of acquisition and age of comfort for both languages, and restructuring of language fluency due to changes in linguistic environments. Reaction times from a Spanish/English lexical translation task and filler rates and elongation rates from a Spanish/English sentence translation task support the validity of the scale. The scale can be adapted for nonliterate populations by asking questions verbally and recording responses.

TL;DR: This work investigated conflict adaptation when participants are performing two tasks, a Simon task and a SNARC task, and indicated that one congruency effect was reduced after conflict in the other task, but only when both tasks used identical relevant information.

TL;DR: A Test of Arithmetic Problem Posing was developed by the authors to examine the arithmetic problem-posing behaviours of sixty-three prospective elementary school teachers as mentioned in this paper, and the major findings were that the test effectively evaluated arithmetic problem posing, and that most subjects were able to pose solvable and complex problems.
Abstract: A Test of Arithmetic Problem Posing was developed by the authors to examine the arithmetic problem-posing behaviours of sixty-three prospective elementary school teachers. Results of analysis were then used to examine task format (i.e., the presence or absence of specific numerical information) on subjects’ problem posing and the relationship between subjects’ problem posing and their mathematics knowledge and verbal creativity. The major findings were that the test effectively evaluated arithmetic problem posing, and that most subjects were able to pose solvable and complex problems. In addition, problem-posing performance was better when the task contained specific numerical information than when it did not, and that problem-posing performance was significantly related to mathematical knowledge but not to verbal creativity.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of leafy plants on subjects' task performance and mood was investigated, and it was concluded that the presence of the plants affected the association task more than the sorting task, and male subjects more than female subjects.
