Computerized Dynamic Testing of Children's Potential for Reasoning by Analogy: The Role of Executive Functioning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vogelaar, Bart; Veerbeek, Jochanan; Splinter, Suzanne E.; Resing, Wilma C. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
This study aimed to investigate children's potential for reasoning by analogy utilizing a newly-developed computerized dynamic test, and the potential differential influence of executive functions (cognitive flexibility, attention, and planning) on static and dynamic measures of analogical reasoning. Participants included 64 children (mean age =…

Vogelaar, Bart; Resing, Wilma C. M. – Educational Psychology, 2018
This study examined differences in transfer of analogical reasoning after analogy-problem solving between 40 gifted and 95 average-ability children (aged 9-10 years old), utilising dynamic testing principles. This approach was used in order to examine potential differences between gifted and average-ability children in relation to progression…

Progress in the Inductive Strategy-Use of Children from Different Ethnic Backgrounds: A Study Employing Dynamic Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Resing, Wilma C. M.; Touw, Kirsten W. J.; Veerbeek, Jochanan; Elliott, Julian G. – Educational Psychology, 2017
This study investigated potential differences in inductive behavioural and verbal strategy-use between children (aged 6-8 years) from indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds. This was effected by the use of an electronic device that could present a series of tasks, offer scaffolded assistance and record children's responses. Children from…

A "Picture" of Children's Potential for Learning: Looking into Strategy Changes and Working Memory by Dynamic Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Resing, Wilma C. M.; Xenidou-Dervou, Iro; Steijn, Wouter M. P.; Elliott, Julian G. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
We examined whether children would show different change-patterns in their strategy use when administered a number of series completion tasks that were presented within a dynamic testing format utilizing a graduated prompts approach. The role of working memory was also examined. An electronic console using tangible objects with sensors enabled the…

Stevenson, Claire E.; Hickendorff, Marian; Resing, Wilma C. M.; Heiser, Willem J.; de Boeck, Paul A. L. – Intelligence, 2013
Dynamic testing is an assessment method in which training is incorporated into the procedure with the aim of gauging cognitive potential. Large individual differences are present in children's ability to profit from training in analogical reasoning. The aim of this experiment was to investigate sources of these differences on a dynamic test of…

Dynamic Testing with Tangible Electronics: Measuring Children's Change in Strategy Use with a Series Completion Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Resing, Wilma C. M.; Elliott, Julian G. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Aims: This study sought to explore the use of a novel approach that incorporates dynamic testing and tangible electronics in the assessment of children's learning potential and strategy use. Sample: A total of 77 children with a mean age 8.9 years participated in the study; half of them were dynamically tested using graduate prompt techniques; the…
