Reading Comprehension Tests for Children: Test Equating and Specific Age-Interval Reports

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Equating is used to directly compare alternate forms of tests. We describe the equating of two alternative forms of a reading comprehension test for Brazilian children (2nd to 5th grade), Form A (n = 427) and Form B (n = 321).

AN ELEMENTARY TEST OF THE NORMAL 2PL MODEL AGAINST THE NORMAL 3PL ALTERNATIVE [PDF]

ETS Research Report Series, 2006
ABSTRACTA simple score test of the normal two‐parameter logistic (2PL) model is presented that examines the potential attraction of the normal three‐parameter logistic (3PL) model for use with a particular item. Application is made to data from a test from the Praxis™ series.

A Note on Equivalent and Nonequivalent Parametrizations of the Two-Parameter Logistic Item Response Model

Information
The two-parameter logistic (2PL) item response model is typically estimated using an unbounded distribution for the trait θ. In this article, alternative specifications of the 2PL models are investigated that consider a bounded or a positively valued θ ...

Direct Laser Writing of Magnetic Micro Actuators With a Stimulus‐Responsive Compliant Hinge

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a versatile modular design strategy for adaptive 3D microactuators. Using two‐photon‐induced C,H insertion reactions within solid polymer layers, chemically distinct hinge and stimulus responsive materials are patterned in one step. The hinge's properties enable tunable motion, mechanical control, and reconfigurable actuation across

Faces and phases of epistemic curiosity in science learning: A longitudinal study

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Different faces of epistemic curiosity shape science learning across development. While early scientific reasoning depends on the joint action of interest‐type and deprivation‐type curiosity, science knowledge is robustly driven by interest‐type curiosity, revealing a developmental reweighting of motivational mechanisms.
