An uncomplicated introduction to representational measurement theory
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Measurement in psychology is often associated with psychometrics. Despite the theoretical insights afforded by psychometric methods, they represent only a restricted range of possible measurement approaches in the social sciences. Representational measurement theory (RMT) generalizes the logic of measurement developed in the physical sciences ...

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 ...

A new method for detecting differential item functioning in the Rasch model [PDF]
Differential item functioning (DIF) can lead to an unfair advantage or disadvantage for certain subgroups in educational and psychological testing. Therefore, a variety of statistical methods has been suggested for detecting DIF in the Rasch model.

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.

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 ...
