Kurdi, Benedek; Carroll, Timothy J.; Banaji, Mahzarin R. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Four studies involving 2552 White American participants were conducted to investigate bias based on the race-based phenotype of hair texture. Specifically, we probed the existence and magnitude of bias in favor of Eurocentric (straight) over Afrocentric (curly) hair and its specificity in predicting responses to a legal decision involving the…

Heeren, Jordi; Speelman, Dirk; De Wachter, Lieve – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
Language proficiency is assumed to play a role in achievement in tertiary education. When requirements for university entrance are low or demographic changes in the population take place, universities often employ post-admission language assessments to screen all incoming students. In this study, we will look at the predictive validity of a…

Thompson, Aaron M.; Huang, Francis; Smith, Tyler; Reinke, Wendy M.; Herman, Keith C. – School Mental Health, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to confirm the factor structure, examine the invariance, and investigate the predictive validity using disciplinary data for 5262 high school students who completed the Early Identification System--Student Response (EIS-SR). The development and theory of the EIS-SR is discussed along with prior work. Building off of…

Smith, R. Alex; Lembke, Erica S. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
This study examined the technical adequacy of Picture Word, a type of Writing Curriculum-Based Measurement, with 73 English learners (ELs) with beginning to intermediate English language proficiency in Grades 1, 2, and 3. The ELs in this study attended schools in one midwestern U.S. school district employing an English-only model of instruction…

Godfroid, Aline; Kim, Kathy MinHye – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study addresses the role of domain-general mechanisms in second-language learning and knowledge using an individual differences approach. We examine the predictive validity of implicit-statistical learning aptitude for implicit second-language knowledge. Participants (n = 131) completed a battery of four aptitude measures and nine grammar…

Eklund, Katie; Kilgus, Stephen P.; Barber, Alexandra; Dubose, Kortni; Collins, Bri'Anna; Eikenmeyer, Madison – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Universal screening has emerged as one strategy within schools for identifying students who demonstrate social emotional and behavioral (SEB) concerns to provide appropriate support. However, research has demonstrated little evidence of equity around diagnostic accuracy; that is, how students might be differentially identified as at-risk for SEB…

Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Jin, Zeyu; Theobald, Roddy – American Educational Research Journal, 2023
We investigate the predictive validity of teacher licensure tests using data from the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). MTEL scores predict teachers' in-service performance ratings and contributions to student test scores (i.e., value added). We then explore whether these relationships vary for teacher candidates of color.…

M. Meghan Davidson – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Text social information includes the cognitive processes and social communication skills that support real or hypothetical human thought or interaction. The current measure of text social information is genre. However, genre is a limited measure because of poor operationalization, limited specificity, and overlap with structural and linguistic…

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,…

J. Anthony, Christopher; Styck, Kara M.; Cooke, Erin; Martel, Justin R.; E. Frye, Katherine – School Psychology Review, 2022
Behavior rating scales represent one of the most commonly used types of assessments in school psychology. Yet, they suffer from a fundamental limitation: They are an indirect methodology influenced partially by student behavior and partially by rater perspectives. Thus, the current study utilized advanced analytic approaches to evaluate rater…

Teimouri, Yasser; Tabandeh, Farhad; Tahmouresi, Somayeh – Modern Language Journal, 2022
Defined as a combination of perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit has been hypothesized to be as important as talent in determining the success of students, adding incremental predictive validity for achievement criteria above and beyond natural or inherent ability. In this study, we tested this hypothesis by comparing the effects of…

Ethan R. Van Norman; Emily R. Forcht – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2024
This study evaluated the forecasting accuracy of trend estimation methods applied to time-series data from computer adaptive tests (CATs). Data were collected roughly once a month over the course of a school year. We evaluated the forecasting accuracy of two regression-based growth estimation methods (ordinary least squares and Theil-Sen). The…

Jacqueline M. Caemmerer; Stephanie Ruth Young; Danika Maddocks; Natalie R. Charamut; Eunice Blemahdoo – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
In order to make appropriate educational recommendations, psychologists must understand how cognitive test scores influence specific academic outcomes for students of different ability levels. We used data from the WISC-V and WIAT-III (N = 181) to examine which WISC-V Index scores predicted children's specific and broad academic skills and if…
