Should We Make Predictions Based on Social Simulations?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dignum, Frank – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
The general feeling is that no predictions can be made based on agent-based social simulations. The outcomes of social simulations are based on the behaviors of individuals and their interactions. Behavioral models are always incomplete and often, also incorrect with respect to real behavior and thus the outcomes of agent-based social simulations…

Reisman, Fredricka; Keiser, Larry; Otti, Obinna – Creativity Research Journal, 2016
The Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment (RDCA) is a free online self-report creativity assessment that provides immediate feedback to the user and is diagnostic, rather than predictive, with the focus on making the user aware of creative strengths and weaknesses. Several engineering and teacher education studies have included the RDCA over a…

A Computerized Approach to Trickle-Process, Random Assignment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Braucht, G. Nicholas; Reichardt, Charles S. – Evaluation Review, 1993
Procedures for implementing random assignment with trickle processing and ways they can be corrupted are described. A computerized method for implementing random assignment with trickle processing is presented as a desirable alternative in many situations and a way of protecting against threats to assignment validity.

Developmental and Diagnostic Characteristics of Quantitative Measures of Children's Language Production.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Klee, Thomas – Topics in Language Disorders, 1992
This study evaluated 9 computer-generated measures of children's language production, based on 24 children with specific language impairment and 24 normally developing children, ages 24-50 months. Three measures possessed desirable developmental and diagnostic characteristics: mean syntactic length, total number of words, and number of different…

The Design, Development, and Evaluation of an Evaluative Computer Simulation.
Ehrlich, Lisa R. – 1979
This paper discusses evaluation design considerations for a computer based evaluation simulation developed at the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Cardiology to assess the diagnostic skills of primary care physicians and medical students. The simulation developed allows for the assessment of diagnostic skills of physicians in the…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Laurier, Michel; Des Brisay, Margaret – 1990
A discussion of the use of standardized tests in second language assessment focuses on the usefulness of program-based language tests aligned with specific curricula and capable of motivating students to participate in classroom activities that are a preparation both for the test and for life after the test. The purpose of this paper is to show…
