Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairments are common after stroke, particularly those involving the executive functioning, which is a complex cognitive construct encompassing a collection of interrelated functions (or set of processes) that are responsible for controlled goal-directed behaviours to novel or complex situations (Gioa, Isquith, & Guy, 2001). Therefore, deficits in executive processes can affect an individual profoundly. There are numerous executive measures currently available, however they are mostly language-laden, and therefore not ideal for stroke patients who are present with apha

The Test of Cognitive Skills (TCS) Level 1 and the Test of Language Development-2 (TOLD-2) Primary Short Form were administered to 34 students diagnosed with language disorders and 34 language normal students.

Abstract:

Research has shown that the increased use of computer-based testing has brought about new challenges. With the ease of online test administration, a large number of items are necessary to maintain the item bank and minimise the exposure rate. However, the traditional item development process is time-consuming and costly. Thus, alternative ways of creating items are necessary to improve the item development process. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) is an effective method in generating items rapidly and efficiently. AIG uses algorithms to create questions for testing purposes. However, many of th

Matrices reasoning tests, which contain missing pieces in matrices that participants attempt to figure out, are one of the most popular types of tests to measure general intelligence. This thesis introduces several methods to develop matrices items, and presents them in different test forms to assess general intelligence. Part 1 introduces the development of a matrices test with reference to Carpenter’s five rules of Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The test items developed were administered together with the Standard Ravens’ Progressive Matrices (SPM). Results based on confirmatory factor analys

Several significant breaches of ethics in the past few years have created renewed interest in the study of moral judgment. The examples used in this study include sub-prime lending, the Madoff investment scandal, and the torture of suspects in U.S. custody. The Cognitive Moral Development (CMD) theory was developed by Lawrence Kohlberg in 1969. Effectively, Kohlberg determined there were clearly defined stages of moral development in children--how they develop a sense of right, wrong, and justice.

Many inter organizational studies using the Defining Issues Test have compared moral maturity levels coming from various academic backgrounds.

The Marshmallow Test, a self-imposed delay of gratification task pioneered by Walter Mischel in the 1960’s, showed that young children vary in their ability to inhibit impulses and regulate their attention and emotion in order to wait and obtain a desired reward (Mischel & Mischel, 1983). The Marshmallow Test offers an opportunity to observe and measure children’s decision-making and self-regulation in an emotionally charged context of often conflicting motivations. Additionally, this task provides a context to investigate how compliance with rules and self-regulation may depend on or compete

Central to the theory are depressogenic schemata that interact with stressors, resulting in increases in depressive symptomatology. These schemata are commonly assessed using the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS). Importantly, the DAS was not designed for use in children---it has been validated with adults and contains advanced language. Thus, the Child and Adolescent Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (CADAS) was developed.<br>Study 1 sought to psychometrically validate the CADAS. 453 ch

Abstract:

<p> Intelligence was defined by early psychometricians as capabilities that could be measured by standardized tests. This definition of intelligence is largely accepted to underlie academic achievement. More recent psychological theory posits a broader definition of human intelligence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility that the historic definition of intelligence could be expanded to include transpersonal capabilities as features of intelligence which contribute to academic achievement. This study utilized a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational method to expl

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between adolescents' use of texting and their level of identity development, cognitive autonomy, and self-esteem. One hundred and nineteen Utah State University students participated in this study by filling out a questionnaire that included a section designed specifically to learn the texting habits of the participants, and also included sections derived from previously existing measures on identity, autonomy, and self-esteem. The results show statistical significance of age and texting. Participants who were 23 years+ sent significantly less than

Problem. Most of the diagnostic tools available for the assessment of language and cognition in early childhood education have been designed for fluent English-speakers. Few instruments include items appropriate to the needs of Spanish-speaking children with limited English Proficiency (LEP). Available Spanish language test are translations of English tools and have not been standardized among the Hispanic population. Classroom teachers and education specialists need an appropriately validated Spanish test for educational planning and programing of LEP Spanish-speaking children. Purpose. The p

In the first phase, the Everyday Problem Questionnaire was developed from descriptions of everyday life problem

Abstract:

Cette thèse porte sur les processus cognitifs engagés lors de la production d’un texte par des adolescents de différents âges, plus particulièrement lors de l’élaboration de la connectivité du texte. Il sera demandé à 60 élèves issus de trois niveaux scolaires (CM2, 5ème, 3ème) de produire un texte narratif et un texte argumentatif. L’enregistrement se fera sur des tablettes graphiques, afin de collecter les données temporelles liées à la production écrite. L’analyse des pauses, du débit d’écriture et des révisions permettront de mieux comprendre la gestion temporelle de la mise en place de la
