Thompson, Gregory L.; Cox, Troy L.; Knapp, Nieves – Foreign Language Annals, 2016
While studies have been done to rate the validity and reliability of the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and Oral Proficiency Interview-Computer (OPIc) independently, a limited amount of research has analyzed the interexam reliability of these tests, and studies have yet to be conducted comparing the results of Spanish language learners who take…

Duncan, Greg J.; Engel, Mimi; Claessens, Amy; Dowsett, Chantelle J. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Replications and robustness checks are key elements of the scientific method and a staple in many disciplines. However, leading journals in developmental psychology rarely include explicit replications of prior research conducted by different investigators, and few require authors to establish in their articles or online appendices that their key…

Kambas, A.; Venetsanou, F.; Giannakidou, D.; Fatouros, I. G.; Avloniti, A.; Chatzinikolaou, A.; Draganidis, D.; Zimmer, R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Given the negative influence of motor difficulties on people's quality of life their early identification seems to be crucial and consequently the information provided by a sound assessment tool is of great importance. The aim of this study was to examine the suitability of the MOT 4-6 (Zimmer & Volkamer, 1987) for use with preschoolers in…

Field, Andy P. – Psychological Methods, 2005
One conceptualization of meta-analysis is that studies within the meta-analysis are sampled from populations with mean effect sizes that vary (random-effects models). The consequences of not applying such models and the comparison of different methods have been hotly debated. A Monte Carlo study compared the efficacy of Hedges and Vevea's…

Nietfeld, John L.; Enders, Craig K; Schraw, Gregory – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Researchers studying monitoring accuracy currently use two different indexes to estimate accuracy: relative accuracy and absolute accuracy. The authors compared the distributional properties of two measures of monitoring accuracy using Monte Carlo procedures that fit within these categories. They manipulated the accuracy of judgments (i.e., chance…
