This study focuses on the concurrent understanding of cognitive development by integrating contemporary psychometric modeling techniques to capture both broad latent cognitive abilities and specific, time-sensitive interactions within distinct …
The rapid pace of technological advancement and its immersive impact on our society underscores the need for all students to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills in computer science. Teachers are critical to the efforts to expand access and …
Strong theories are sorely lacking in the applied social sciences, especially in psychology. Elko Fried (2020) identifies fundamental problems that are common in social science research and explains how these problems manifest themselves in the …
This study examines response shift in an evaluation of a computing education program in which both traditional and retrospective pretests were used across two waves of data collection, by using measurement invariance techniques.
This study fitted and compared item response models of item-level responses of different complex span tasks. Results, especially item parameters, may reveal the variety of domain specificity in different complex span tasks.
Confirmatory latent factor models on simulated data indicate that a higher-order g can emergy even without a common cause.
