Tiffany Wu; Christina Weiland; Meghan McCormick; JoAnn Hsueh; Catherine Snow; Jason Sachs – Grantee Submission, 2024
The Hearts and Flowers (H&F) task is a computerized executive functioning (EF) assessment that has been used to measure EF from early childhood to adulthood. It provides data on accuracy and reaction time (RT) across three different task blocks (hearts, flowers, and mixed). However, there is a lack of consensus in the field on how to score the…

Schoefl, Martin; Seifert, Susanne; Steinmair, Gabriele; Weber, Christoph – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
Rapid automatized naming (RAN) powerfully predicts word-level reading fluency in the first 2 years of school as well as further reading development. Here, we analyze various RAN stimuli (objects and digits) and oral/silent word reading (OWR/SWR) modalities to find feasible measures for predicting early reading development. The RAN performances of…

Murphy, Kimberly A.; Springle, Alisha P.; Sultani, Mollee J.; McIlraith, Autumn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Analysis of narrative language samples is a recommended clinical practice in the assessment of children's language skills, but we know little about how results from such analyses relate to overall oral language ability across the early school years. We examined the relations between language sample metrics from a short narrative retell,…

Koller, Katherine A.; Hojnoski, Robin L.; Van Norman, Ethan R. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2022
A strong foundation in early literacy supports children's academic pursuits and impacts personal, social, and economic outcomes. Therefore, examining the adequacy of early literacy assessments as predictors of future performance on important outcomes is critical for identifying students at risk of reading problems. This study explored the…

Thomas, Asia S.; January, Stacy-Ann A. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Educators use universal screening to identify students who may be at risk for not meeting proficiency on the state assessment. Given the potential high-stakes of state tests, using accurate screeners is critical. Independent research is emerging on screeners such as the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), a computer adaptive test, and the…
