From Nouns and Adjectives to Verbs: Base Effects on the Grammatical Behaviour of Denominal Verbs in Ancient Greek1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the role of semantic features of noun and adjective bases in determining the grammatical behaviour of Ancient Greek denominal and deadjectival verbs in *‐ye/o‐. The paper adopts a lexicalist framework (Rappaport Hovav & Levin 1998) and examines how the event schema, actionality, telicity and voice of derived verbs are ...

The complexity of neighborhood effects: A developmental and ecological framework for violent victimization

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has established a link between low self‐control and child victimization. However, the specific neighborhood conditions under which low self‐control most strongly influences victimization have been little examined, and, more importantly, no previous studies have investigated the complex ways in which neighborhood context ...

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.

Stability of estimation item parameter in IRT dichotomy considering the number of participants

REID (Research and Evaluation in Education)
This research is related to item response theory (IRT) which is needed to measure the goodness of a test set, while item parameter estimation is needed to determine the technical properties of a test item.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Differential item functioning detection across multiple groups

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Differential item functioning (DIF) can be investigated by estimating item response theory (IRT) parameters separately for different respondent groups, thus allowing for the detection of discrepancies in parameter estimates across groups. However, before comparing the estimates, it is necessary to convert them to a common metric due to the ...
