Embretson, Susan – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Understanding the cognitive processes, skills and strategies that examinees use in testing is important for construct validity and score interpretability. Although response processes evidence has long been included as an important aspect of validity (i.e., "Standards for Educational and Psychological Tests," 1999), relevant studies are…

Lawrence, Rebecca K.; Cochrane, B. A.; Eidels, A.; Howard, Z.; Lui, L.; Pratt, J. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
When a highly salient distractor is present in a search array, it speeds target absent visual search and increases errors during target present visual search, suggesting lowered quitting thresholds (Moher in Psychol Sci 31(1):31-42, 2020). Missing a critical target in the presence of a highly salient distractor can have dire consequences in…

Militsa G. Ivanova; Hanna Eklöf; Michalis P. Michaelides – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2025
Digital administration of assessments allows for the collection of process data indices, such as response time, which can serve as indicators of rapid-guessing and examinee test-taking effort. Setting a time threshold is essential to distinguish effortful from effortless behavior using item response times. Threshold identification methods may…

Danielle R. Blazek; Jason T. Siegel – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
Social scientists have long agreed that satisficing behavior increases error and reduces the validity of survey data. There have been numerous reviews on detecting satisficing behavior, but preventing this behavior has received less attention. The current narrative review provides empirically supported guidance on preventing satisficing by…

Jan Karem Höhne; Achim Goerres – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
The measurement of political solidarities and related concepts is an important endeavor in numerous scientific disciplines, such as political and social science research. European surveys, such as the Eurobarometer, frequently measure these concepts for people's home country and Europe raising questions with respect to the order of precedence.…

van Rijn, Peter W.; Attali, Yigal; Ali, Usama S. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
We investigated whether and to what extent different scoring instructions, timing conditions, and direct feedback affect performance and speed. An experimental study manipulating these factors was designed to address these research questions. According to the factorial design, participants were randomly assigned to one of twelve study conditions.…

Evangelia Kartsounidou; Rebekka Kluge; Henning Silber; Tobias Gummer – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
Across waves of a panel survey, panel members are repeatedly exposed to the same or very similar survey questions, which might lead to learning effects. We used data from 24 waves of online interviews in a probability-based panel survey to investigate the positive and negative effects of becoming more familiar with the survey questions. We found…

Lee; Aili Hauptmann; Kimberly Tena; Christopher Chatham; Judith S. Miller; Juhi Pandey; Alison S. Russell; Robert T. Schultz; Julia Parish-Morris – Cognitive Science, 2025
Engaging in fluent conversation is a surprisingly complex task that requires interlocutors to promptly respond to each other in a way that is appropriate to the social context. In this study, we disentangled different dimensions of turn-taking by investigating how the dynamics of child-adult interactions changed according to the activity…

Dames, Hannah; Pfeuffer, Christina U. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Post-error cognitive control processes are evident in post-error slowing (PES) and post-error increased accuracy (PIA). A recent theory (Wessel, 2018) proposes that post-error control disrupts not only ongoing motor activity but also current task-set representations, suggesting an interdependence of post-error control and memory. In 2 experiments,…

Zoe Kriegel; Adam M. Fullenkamp; Jason A. Whitfield – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: The current project aimed to examine the effects of two experimental cognitive-linguistic paradigms, the Stroop task and a primed Stroop task, on speech kinematics and perioral muscle activation. Method: Acoustic, kinematic, and surface electromyographic data were collected from the verbal responses of 30 young adult healthy control…

Kreiner, Hamutal; Gamliel, Eyal – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
"Attribute-framing bias" reflects people's tendency to evaluate objects framed positively more favorably than the same objects framed negatively. Although biased by the framing valence, evaluations are nevertheless calibrated to the magnitude of the target attribute. In three experiments that manipulated magnitudes in different ways, we…

Jenny Retzler; Madeleine J. Groom; Samantha Johnson; Lucy Cragg – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objective: To compare the effect of motivational features on sustained attention in children born very preterm and at term. Method: EEG was recorded while 34 8-to-11-year-old children born very preterm and 34 term-born peers completed two variants of a cued continuous performance task (CPT-AX); a standard CPT-AX with basic shape stimuli, and…

Ulitzsch, Esther; Penk, Christiane; von Davier, Matthias; Pohl, Steffi – Educational Assessment, 2021
Identifying and considering test-taking effort is of utmost importance for drawing valid inferences on examinee competency in low-stakes tests. Different approaches exist for doing so. The speed-accuracy+engagement model aims at identifying non-effortful test-taking behavior in terms of nonresponse and rapid guessing based on responses and…

Xiaohui Wang; Mayra Ortiz Galarza; Sergey Grigorian; Aaron Wilson; John Knight – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
A modified, bilingual Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) instrument was administered to 1,258 high school students in South Texas in an NSF-funded project on informal learning of mathematics and near peer mentoring. We explore students' survey response behaviors and examine the existence of careless and insufficient effort (CIE)…

Tiantian Sun; Ryan Bowles; Sarah N. Douglas; Joshua Plavnick – Grantee Submission, 2023
Children with complex communication needs (CCN) who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) often need more time to process and respond when communicating with others. This study employed a survival analysis approach exploring child response-time patterns following different communication opportunities for young children with CCN who…
