Comparing two maximum likelihood algorithms for mixture Rasch models

Behaviormetrika, 2019
The mixture Rasch model is gaining popularity as it allows items to perform differently across subpopulations and hence addresses the violation of the unidimensionality assumption with traditional Rasch models. This study focuses on comparing two common maximum likelihood methods for estimating such models using Monte Carlo simulations. The conditional

Scenario‐Based AI Literacy Scale (SAILS): Evidence for distinct instrumental and critical‐reflective AI skills and their difference from traditional digital skills

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Given the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into everyday life and professional contexts, it is essential to investigate learners' existing capabilities regarding AI tools to inform possible interventions to equip them with necessary AI skills, but also advance the theoretical frameworks on digital skills measurement and ...

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.

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

Finetuning Pre‐Trained Language Models for Automatic Assessment of English‐Chinese Interpreting

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent years have seen growing interest in leveraging pre‐trained language models (PLMs) for automatic assessment of spoken‐language performance. Contributing to this emerging line of work, the present study offers the first attempt to finetune two PLMs, GTE‐multilingual and mmBERT, for assessing English‐Chinese interpreting, using over 1700 ...

Addressing Health Literacy by School Nurses at Schools Across Germany: Results of a Mixed‐Methods Study

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Health literacy has become increasingly important in healthcare and education. The aim is to provide an overview of school nurses' activities to increase health literacy in schools, and to analyse their conceptual understanding of health literacy.

Sleep Preserves, Wake Differentiates: Strength‐Dependent Forgetting of Declarative Memories Across the Retention Interval

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep benefits memory, but the extend to which this benefit depends on initial memory strength remains heavily debated. We examined whether sleep preferentially stabilises weakly versus strongly encoded declarative memories, and whether classical sleep oscillations contribute to this effect.

Sodium Oxybate Alters Sleep Architecture and Reduces Emotional Selectivity in Memory‐Related Responses

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep supports memory consolidation. Non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep have been proposed to support, respectively, declarative memory consolidation and the integration of the memory affective dimension. Here, we used sodium oxybate (SXB) to modify the NREM/REM proportion during one sleep night and assessed ...

How Mental Concepts Shape Sleep: Introducing the Mental Concept Reactivation Hypothesis of Sleep

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep problems affect a substantial proportion of individuals, and negative thoughts, rumination, and worry are considered key factors underlying persistence and severity. While extensive research has examined how these states disrupt sleep before falling asleep, much less is known about how mental concepts, including thoughts, expectations ...

Reactivating a Relaxation Exercise During Sleep to Influence Cortical Hyperarousal in Individuals With Frequent Nightmares

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐frequency EEG activity during sleep, reflecting cortical hyperarousal, has recently been incorporated into aetiology models of nightmares. However, its precise role remains insufficiently understood because experimental approaches to manipulate hyperarousal during sleep are limited.
