Kayrn P. Higgs; Alecia M. Santuzzi; Cody Gibson; Ryan D. Kopatich; Daniel P. Feller; Joseph P. Magliano – Grantee Submission, 2023
Reading is typically guided by a task or goal (e.g., studying for a test, writing a paper). A reader's task awareness arises from their mental representation of the task and plays an important role in guiding reading processes, ultimately influencing comprehension outcomes and task success. As such, a better understanding of how task awareness…

We focused on two thinking dispositions, need for cognition (NFC) and actively open-minded thinking…

Chairil Anwar Korompot; Iskandarsyah Siregar; Nurislom Iskandarovich Khursanov; Diyorjon Abdullaev; Khaled M. Mohamed – International Journal of Language Testing, 2024
Construct-irrelevant variance is considered as a major threat to validity which indicates the existence of additional unrelated variables that distort the meaning of test scores and cause the test to be biased. Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis is an important technique in examining the validity and fairness of educational tests.…

Amanda C. Miller; Irene Adjei; Hannah Christensen – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Mind wandering occurs when a reader's thoughts are unrelated to the text's ideas. We examined the relation between mind wandering and readers' memory for text. More specifically, we assessed whether mind wandering inhibits the reader's development of the situation model and thus their ability to identify and recall the text's most central ideas.…
