Taylor, Tessa; Lanovaz, Marc J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Behavior analysts typically rely on visual inspection of single-case experimental designs to make treatment decisions. However, visual inspection is subjective, which has led to the development of supplemental objective methods such as the conservative dual-criteria method. To replicate and extend a study conducted by Wolfe et al. (2018) on the…

Jones, Paul; Tong, Ye; Liu, Jinghua; Borglum, Joshua; Primoli, Vince – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
This article studied two methods to detect mode effects in two credentialing exams. In Study 1, we used a "modal scale comparison approach," where the same pool of items was calibrated separately, without transformation, within two TC cohorts (TC1 and TC2) and one OP cohort (OP1) matched on their pool-based scale score distributions. The…

Bose, Arpita; Patra, Abhijeet; Antoniou, Georgia Eleftheria; Stickland, Rachael C.; Belke, Eva – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Verbal fluency tasks are routinely used in clinical assessment and research studies of aphasia. People with aphasia produce fewer items in verbal fluency tasks. It remains unclear if their output is limited solely by their lexical difficulties and/or has a basis in their executive control abilities. Recent research has illustrated that…

Finch, Holmes – Applied Measurement in Education, 2022
Much research has been devoted to identification of differential item functioning (DIF), which occurs when the item responses for individuals from two groups differ after they are conditioned on the latent trait being measured by the scale. There has been less work examining differential step functioning (DSF), which is present for polytomous…
