The developmental trajectories of working memory updating from early childhood to adolescence: A meta‐analysis

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Working memory updating is a crucial cognitive function for learning and academic achievement that develops significantly throughout childhood and adolescence. Despite the varieties of existing tasks to measure children's working memory updating, its overall developmental trajectory and task‐specific developmental patterns remain inadequately ...

Reliability measures in knowledge structure theory

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In knowledge structure theory (KST) framework, this study evaluates the reliability of knowledge state estimation by introducing two key measures: the expected accuracy rate and the expected discrepancy. The accuracy rate quantifies the likelihood that the estimated knowledge state aligns with the true state, while the expected discrepancy ...

Bayesian inference for dynamic Q matrices and attribute trajectories in hidden Markov diagnostic classification models

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hidden Markov diagnostic classification models capture how students' cognitive attributes evolve over time. This paper introduces a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for diagnostic classification models that jointly estimates time‐varying Q matrices, latent attributes, item parameters, attribute class proportions and transition ...

Geometric standardized mean difference and its application to meta‐analysis

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The standardized mean difference (SMD) is a widely used measure of effect size, particularly common in psychology, clinical trials and meta‐analysis involving continuous outcomes. Traditionally, under the equal variance assumption, the SMD is defined as the mean difference divided by a common standard deviation.

New Inequalities for GA–h Convex Functions via Generalized Fractional Integral Operators with Applications to Entropy and Mean Inequalities

Fractal and Fractional
We prove the inequalities of the weighted Hermite–Hadamard type the and Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer type for an extremely rich class of geometrically arithmetically-h-convex functions (GA-h-CFs) via generalized Hadamard–Fractional integral operators (HFIOs).

Child Protection System and Education: An Umbrella Review of Factors Supporting the Educational Progress of Children in the Foster Care System

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International literature has consistently demonstrated that children in the foster care system (FCS) exhibit poorer academic outcomes: lower academic achievement, higher rates of school absenteeism and truancy, lower high school graduation rates and reduced postsecondary educational attainment.

Strictly Conservative Neural Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a first method to generate neural unsigned or signed distance fields (SDFs) that are guaranteed to be conservative with respect to a given 3D shape. This means the true distance is never overestimated and the zero‐level set is a bounding volume for the shape. The method makes use of neural network architectures that ensure Lipschitz

Freely (Un)Equal

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gender equality in the economy is a key issue on the political agenda. Western countries have long pursued policies promoting free competitive markets, with the EU focusing on harmonisation for market freedom. This study examines how economic freedom impacts gender equality using an instrumental variable approach. Results reveal mixed effects:

Speculation in the United Kingdom, 1785‒2019

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Speculation has long been thought to have significant economic effects, but it is difficult to measure, making it challenging to examine these effects empirically. In this paper we measure speculation in the United Kingdom since 1785 by using business and financial reporting in The Times newspaper.

Vocabulary Strategy Instruction in the Argentine EFL Context: Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on vocabulary strategy instruction (VSI), little has been known about teachers’ perspectives on how it is understood and implemented in practice. This study investigated Argentinian EFL teachers’ priorities in vocabulary instruction, their perceived knowledge of learner strategies for spoken vocabulary, and factors ...
