Assessment of distractor efficiency of MCQS in item analysis.

open access: yesThe Professional Medical Journal, 2022
Objective: To assess the distractor efficiency of the multiple-choice questions and find out the structural flaws in the items that negatively impact the distractor efficiency. Study Design: Retrospective Observational study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Rawal Institute of Health Sciences (RIHS) SZAMBU, Islamabad.

Distractors in Parsons Problems Decrease Learning Efficiency for Young Novice Programmers [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research, 2016
Parsons problems are an increasingly popular method for helping inexperienced programmers improve their programming skills. In Parsons problems, learners are given a set of programming statements that they must assemble into the correct order. Parsons problems commonly use distractors, extra statements that are not part of the solution.

Distractor familiarity leads to more efficient visual search for complex stimuli [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 2005
Previous reports suggest that distractor familiarity plays an important role in determining visual search efficiency. However, the specific tasks used in those studies limit the extension of their findings to real-world situations and everyday images.

An interpreter advantage in executive functions? A systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The aim of this systematic literature review was to answer the question of which executive function is most affected by interpreter training and experience.

When awareness gets in the way : reactivation aversion effects resolve the generality/specificity paradox in sensorimotor interference tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Interference tasks combining different distractor types usually find that between-trial adaptations (congruency sequence effects [CSEs]) do not interact with each other, suggesting that sensorimotor control is domain-specific. However, within each trial,

When is search for a static target among dynamic distractors efficient? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Intuitively, dynamic visual stimuli, such as moving objects or flashing lights, attract attention. Visual search tasks have revealed that dynamic targets among static distractors can indeed efficiently guide attention. The present study shows that the reverse case, a static target among dynamic distractors, allows for relatively efficient selection in ...

Closing the Gap: Automated Distractor Generation in Japanese Language Testing

open access: yesEducation Sciences, 2023
Recent advances in natural language processing have increased interest in automatic question generation, particularly in education (e.g., math, biology, law, medicine, and languages) due to its efficiency in assessing comprehension.

Efficient visual search for multiple targets among categorical distractors: Effects of distractor–distractor similarity across trials

open access: yesVision Research, 2014
We trained one group of pigeons to search for members of an artificial category among category-unspecified nonmembers. For another group of pigeons, the roles of the targets and of the distractors were reversed. Experiment 1 found that the latter group showed surprisingly efficient search for multiple nonmembers.

Distractor onset but not preparation time affects the frequency of task confusions in task switching.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
When participants rapidly switch between tasks that share the same stimuli and responses, task confusions (i.e., the accidental application of the wrong task) can occur. The present study investigated whether these task confusions result from failures of
